It only feels like yesterday that we got home from Iceland and I refuse to believe it’s already been a few weeks since visiting this magical land and checking off as many things to do in Iceland that we could! We booked our trip to Iceland to attend our friends’ destination wedding and everything about
Things to do
Bucket list: British Columbia, Canada
I have a confession to make as a Minnesotan. I’ve never crossed the border up into Canada even though my accent has made many people think I’m Canadian. I know, I’m a bad Northerner and really need to cross Canada off the bucket list and go back to my roots of nice people, hockey, and
24 hours in Amsterdam
I’m going to be honest, on my first trip to Amsterdam I wasn’t that excited. Everyone else in our tour group was excited for special cakes and sex shops and I was kind of feeling meh about it. But once I got there and got to explore and experience the city, I loved it! I’ve
Free things to do in Venice
There’s no city quite as enchanting (and overcrowded) as Venice, but it’s worth battling the people to see this iconic Italian city.

Top 10 Mexico experiences
Mexico is an amazing – and affordable – travel destination and one that should be on everyone’s list. With Cinco de Mayo right around the corner, which is most definitely not to be confused with Mexican Independence Day which falls in September, I thought it’d be fun to highlight some of our favorite travel experiences
Bucket list: Romania
Transylvania, tales of Dracula, and a rich European history beckon in Romania! While we’ve got the castles of Scotland and Ireland up next on our big Europe trip in 2020, I’ve been keeping my eye on Romania as a good travel destination for another return visit to Europe. I’ve heard wonderful things about it and
Nice two-day itinerary
Ah, the French Riviera! When Rick and I were there I couldn’t help but fall in love with the views, the welcoming people, and that relaxed Mediterranean ambiance. It was one of the highlights of our trip and probably where we got some of our most idyllic photos during our two-week Europe trip. One of
24 hours in San Juan
After a year and a half after Hurricane Maria, Puerto Rico is finding its footing again and focused on rebuilding and welcoming tourists back to the island. Puerto Rico is a fantastic tropical destination – and made even better as US citizens don’t need to bring a passport to travel there! With dreamy white sand
