Mountains

My daughter and I have always dreamed of traveling Switzerland by train and hiking through the Alps–it was a trip of a lifetime!

I was a late recruit on boys trip with 11 other guys to go on a heli ski trip up in the Canadian Rockies- truly a bucket list trip for me. It happened to come to fruition in my 50th birthday year! 😜

We try and get to the Colorado Rocky Mountains every summer. I grew up in Denver, so we also love to spend time here and visit with friends and family.

I was traveling with a friend in Croatia and she mentioned to me that going to Cappadocia and riding in a hot air balloon was one of her dreams. I hadn't heard of it before but when I looked it up, the destination looked incredible. I met some friends in a hostel in Istanbul who were planning on going there next, so I jumped at the opportunity and off we went 2 days later!

My boyfriend and I were backpacking through Eastern Europe and had heard this was a great place to visit. We had also heard there was a great through-hike to do, so we head there with high hopes of great adventure. Spoiler— we found it!

We were on a backpacking trip through the Balnkan's from Croatia to Albania. Montenegro was the most logical next step after Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Maybe you heard a lot about Istanbul, or about Cappadocia, those famous touristic destinations in Turkey. But most people don’t realize that they could be missing out on Turkey’s stunning coast. It is the same landscape as Greece’s coast, but so much more affordable during summer, from currency to food and accommodation.

I had no idea how much I could love Turkey’s coast. It is the most incredible combination of rocky hills with 50 shades of blue waters. From different points you can see impressive landscapes of the whole coast from up a hill. You have also diverse types of activities, from historical places, to nature trekking.

I went to Turkey for tourism with a friend, but we had long holidays. We spent about 10 days only at the coast. We started in Izmir, went down to Ephesus and Kuşadası, then Marmaris, Dalyan, and Fethiye. Last, we decided to adventure ourselves doing a short part of the Lycian Way (long trekking that can take up to 29 days around the Coast of Turkey – they have all the trails mapped and you can choose any part of the way to hike).

We travelled to Thimphu because it is so famous for visitors to go there, also it is known as one of the most peaceful and beautiful places.

We love nature retreats and getting away from the hustle and bustle of city. Banff seemed like the perfect getaway where we could unwind in the midst of the mighty Rockies and soak in all the enchanting landscapes.

While browsing Facebook, I came across a video of the Columbia Icefield Skywalk and Banff and from that moment Banff was listed on my Top Places to Travel. Also, our whole family are such nature lovers. We love the mountains specifically.

We traveled here to check out colleges for our daughter.

We made reservations at the Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite Natl. Park a year in advance, a place we had always wanted to travel to as a family. We designed a four-state road trip around this dream destination, beginning in Bozeman, Montana, and ending in Lake Tahoe, California.

Our family loves skiing and is always looking for a new destination. Matterhorn is one of the most majestic mountains in the world so we thought it was a must see!

We traveled to Jujuy (north of Argentina) because it's one of the most beautiful place in the country, where you can find different types of food, incredible landscapes and very friendly and hospitable people.
