After spending nearly a month in Thailand, I left keen to see more of SE Asia, but also wishing I had more time to see more of a country I felt like I'd only just scraped the surface of. During my time in Thailand, I covered a lot of ground visiting: Bangkok, Chiang Rai, Chiang … Continue reading 4 Places I Still Want to Visit in Thailand

Travel Crush: Finland
If you know how much I love all things Scandinavian, then you'll likely be surprised to learn Finland wasn't closer to the top of my travel list. Instead, I've focused on making my way to Iceland, Denmark and Sweden, with a weekend in Norway likely in the works for later this year. I can't pinpoint why … Continue reading Travel Crush: Finland
Travel Crush: South Africa
In 2017, I visited Asia for the first time- exploring Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kyoto and Macau. This year, I've set my sights on returning to Asia for a relaxing holiday in Bali, and venturing to a new continent- Africa. The first month of 2018 will take me to Morocco for a long weekend in Marrakesh. … Continue reading Travel Crush: South Africa
One Day in Venice, Italy
There's no place in the world like Venice, it's an incredible city. With the most picturesque streets and houses you can imagine, you'll be treated to gorgeous views every moment you're in Venice. It's a city built in another time, when access to water meant access to money. Venice is small enough to wander in just … Continue reading One Day in Venice, Italy
#Take12Trips: March
I feel as though I was barely in London during March- this month's activities have me questioning where the time went. I kicked off the month with a week in Austin and Marfa, Texas. I'll always love Austin, but y'all- Marfa really took me by surprise. I wasn't expecting to fall so hard for a west Texas … Continue reading #Take12Trips: March
Travel Crush: Stockholm
My love for all things Scandi is no secret. Iceland and Denmark are two of my favorite places, in part because of the Scandinavian cultural influences. I've been trying to work Stockholm into my trip list for a long time. Initially, I'd planned on visiting Stockholm during this upcoming summer- now that I'm living in … Continue reading Travel Crush: Stockholm
Photo Diary: Rome, Italy
This post is a bit of a throwback, the first time I visited Italy was in my sophomore year of college- so it's been a while. 😉 Before traveling to Italy, I'd only been to Europe once to visit London. Although London will forever be one of my favorite cities in the world, Italy blew me … Continue reading Photo Diary: Rome, Italy
Travel Crush: Faroe Islands
I feel the same way about the Faroe Islands as I did about Iceland a few years ago. Beautiful and majestic, with plenty of landscape love to go around. Located in the north Atlantic, the 18 islands are what you could call a road less traveled. With a population of less than 50,000 people, the … Continue reading Travel Crush: Faroe Islands
Travel Crush: Barcelona
Spain has been a place I've envisioned visiting since I began learning Spanish in middle school. It's tough to pinpoint what drew my initial interest to the cultures of Spain, but the cities of Barcelona, Seville, Granada, Salamanca and Madrid have been on my travel list for as long as I can remember. Mid-2016, I vowed … Continue reading Travel Crush: Barcelona
Travel Crush: Vancouver
Every time I'm in Seattle, I find myself wishing I'd planned a visit to Vancouver as part of the trip. Somehow though (likely because there are so many great things to do in Seattle), I've never made it across the border. This upcoming year, one of my best friends from childhood is getting married in … Continue reading Travel Crush: Vancouver
