Sometimes you just need to get away to the beach. A nice beach. Lots of them, in fact. Given the Dominican Republic's relative proximity to the US, combined with affordable accommodations and a wealth of the aforementioned beaches, our travel group chose the Samana' Peninsula as a base of operations for a relaxing beach vacation.

Our motives in traveling to Rio and the Costa Verde were to enjoy some beach vibes and colonial charm. Plus, the opportunity to see famous harbor of Rio de Janeiro and its world-famous beaches was a strong incentive as well.

With its fabulous beaches, nightlife and large touristic presence, Mexico was always a bucket list destination for us. By far, it has been the best trip we have been on!

As Europeans, we've always dreamed of visiting Hawaii Islands, once for being famous to be a paradisiac place, but also for being far away and unreachable. The three of us are young professionals and adventurers by heart. So, we decided we want to see Maui, but as low-budget and as adventurously as possible. We challenged ourselves to get there and we finally did it this summer.

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 wanted to know Croatia but at the same time we wanted to start with a not typical city but interesting with a lot of things to do.. so we picked ZADAR :)

My partner and I have friends that recently moved to Honolulu, so we knew we had to visit! We went to Maui a few years ago and were excited to explore another Hawaiian Island together.

I have family local to the area and wanted a tropical getaway

Family trip for Easter break

Golf trip with a friend who is from Ireland. Golfed with people he grew up with. Finished the trip with a week in Spain enjoying Mediterranean beaches and Spanish food.

Summer trip to Spain with our 4 teenagers

Because we love Vietnamese food!

I traveled to Greece for a yoga retreat in Crete. I started in Athens, then on to Santorini before heading to Crete for the retreat.

No better place to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and my husband's 50th birthday.

A few years ago, I was living in Seattle and my best friend was living in LA. He came up for a super fast visit over the 4th of July weekend and had never been to Washington before, so I wanted to show him as much of the state as I could while still giving him a feel for Seattle. So I took him on a two-day road trip and then spent one day in the city.
