Zurich, the Bernese Oberland and the Rhine Falls

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).

San Bernardino into Italian Switzerland - 5 Days

One tunnel under the Alps and Switzerland turns Italian - palm trees, lasagna by the lake and river water so green it looks fake. Everyone does Zurich and the mountains and never goes south, which is exactly why you should.

Zion & Bryce Canyon Couple's Getaway

We were in need of a getaway that included fresh air, incredible views, and nature. We had heard great things about Under Canvas, Zion and the beauty of this part of Utah. This trip checked every box we needed, and more!

Isles of Skye, Lewis & Harris - Some of Scotland's Best

The Scottish Western Isles - particularly Isle of Skye - tend to show up on everyones bucket list. They are wild, rugged, otherworldy, and a nature-lover's playgorund. Being so close by, we decided to take a trip when our best friend from the States visted us here in Scotland.

Painting session at Malingunde Dam

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.

I traveled to Switzerland because I wanted to have a different kind of trip, focused on nature, hiking, mountains, and lakes. Visiting Switzerland had been a dream of mine for a long time, and I was excited to finally explore its beautiful landscapes in person.

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.

Croatia Including Krk & Plitvice Lakes

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/
