And, after the spring surge calmed and the lockdowns subsided stateside, I was curious about a quick, international fall escape. So, we opted for the beautiful beaches […]
Although my most recent trip through America’s heartland was a road trip, we actually traveled in all kinds of different ways—subway, airplane, Uber, driving, walking.

She’s done a fair bit of traveling with her family growing up, but recently embarked on her first solo international trip to Amsterdam and Berlin. She had some difficulty forming her itinerary and requested that I […]

While our travel style has changed significantly over the years, we’re still always on the lookout for great ways to save on places to stay. Below, […]
In our myriad of travels, the #AdventurePartnerForLife and I have yet to do a fully escorted trip.
