Everyone talks about Mexico City as an amazing travel destination. I put together a trip for 18 friends for my 40th birthday to have an epic weekend with great food, fun Mexican adventures and celebrating beautiful friendships.
Switzerland will eat your budget alive, so I did it the only cheap way there is - a friend with a car and no plan. Five days got me a lake so clear you can see the statue on the bottom, a village you can't drive to, a rainbow in the Rhine Falls and a casino that has since shut down (not my fault).
I’ve been to London several times and have always wanted to tour Hampton Court Palace—a piece of historic architecture that combines medieval and baroque styles, numerous gardens, and a royal tennis pavilion that still welcomes local players. However, with Hampton Court being somewhat removed from central London, we failed in two previous attempts to visit the site. On a recent trip to Morocco, we had a two-day layover in London, so we thought we’d give it one more try!
I wanted a break from my studies. School had been overwhelming and I just wanted something different. A quiet space to reset the mind and soul. So I decided go on a trip, to paint and enjoy the scenery. To relax and recalibrate.
Met friends there on study abroad
I currently live 2 hours away from Edinburgh in the Northeast of Scotland, and have frequently visited Edinburgh for fun, to stay with friends, and for the famed Fringe festival each August!
I wanted to spend a few days with two of my favourite humans - my daughters. Everybody's life gets busy and it's so important to reconnect with family members but every once in a while, you just have to get away on a mom-and-daughters trip.
Beautiful place for a couples' road trip! We decided to plan our own trip rather than do the usual Dubrovnik and coastal route, and had a great time. We were even lucky enough to have a friend in the area who was able to show us around some local spots. https://couplestravelstories.ca/7-day-itinerary-croatia/
I went to school here and lived here for a period of time! I wanted to share some of the best spots in this cute, quirky town that has been the subject of songs.
I was called to officiate some basketball games at the camp, with the camp’s basketball team “Dream team” playing against two other teams from Lilongwe city.
Visiting the refugee camp was enlightening and thee was a lot of learning. Aside the basketball, the communion with the people was exquisite.
