When I told people I was going to Bulgaria, they freaked out. It was 5 months after the war in Ukraine started and even though Bulgaria is petty far from Ukraine, friends, and family did not want me to go. I assured them everything would be fine. Well, one week led to another, and [...]
“How do you find so many cool places when you travel?” This is the question I seem to get asked the most, and I love answering it, but it's come to a point where I am getting asked this question on a daily basis and instead of responding to everyone with the same mundane [...]
It's been awhile since I wrote my last shop local series on Washington State! Since people loved that post, I thought it's time I write another one. This one is coming right after a trip I took to Louisiana. I want to support all the amazing business owners I met and the local products [...]
The Canary Islands were never a place I thought about visiting. Frankly, I didn't know much about them. I knew they were located in Spain, close to Africa and that a lot of British and German people vacation there. A quick Google search convinced me pretty quickly that I had to visit, but the [...]
Is there anything better than sipping wine inside a 500-year-old medieval castle in the Spanish countryside? Maybe. But it's pretty hard to beat! I had the opportunity to visit Castell De Pontons - A winery in the Penedes region of Spain about an hour drive from Barcelona. This turned out to be one of [...]
I LOVE Christmas. I don't just love it. I am obsessed with the holiday. Everything from the sparkling decorations, too hot chocolate by the fire, there isn't a time of year that beats it in terms of coziness. When I moved to Washington, I couldn't contain the excitement I felt when I realized I [...]
Life as we know it is entirely different, and I think we all know why *ahem* the virus which must not be named. If this last year has taught me anything, it's that I spend way more money during a pandemic than I do in my everyday life. I am not proud to say, but [...]
Bright sparkly lights, world-renowned DJ's, pool parties, and hordes of obnoxious drunk 20-somethings are what come to my mind when I think of Nevada, but after a recent trip, I took there, my perception of the state has completely changed. Nevada is beautiful with tons to see & do, and it has unexpectedly become one [...]
I am a bit embarrassed to admit this, so here it goes… I haven't explored much of the USA. It's actually pretty sad. You know how when you grow up somewhere you don't always appreciate it and then when you leave you suddenly wish you would have explored more? Well, that's how I felt when [...]
It's that time of year, folks! Where we see rows filled with red and pink chocolate boxes, cute stuffed animals, and adorable cards that were made to confess your love to a special someone. I have personally always been a fan of Valentine's day, even when I am single, because I use it as [...]
