A few years ago my roommate in Germany, Ava, told me about this beautiful city in south Croatia called Dubrovnik. I had never heard about it before but as soon as she showed it to me, I decided that I needed to go there one day. For the next four years, I kept looking for…
I’ll be real with you guys on this one – researching San Marino was hard because there are so few resources about it.

We’re all going to be relatively confined to our backyards for a while thanks to COVID. Seriously, just wear a mask everyone. But having to stay local isn’t always a bad thing. I live right by Sequoia National Park and have been exploring the Sierra Nevada mountains and am appreciating their beauty even more. Sequoia…
I’ve been dying to make an Iceland post ever since I went a few months ago. Pretty sure that I spent my entire time in the country with my mouth open in disbelief because it was just that surreal. It was a bit too cold to have my mouth open for very long… but you…

Monaco on a budget? I know, those two words seem a bit contradictory, don’t they? After all, Monaco is the home of Princess Grace Kelly, the Monaco Grand Prix, and many James Bond adventures. It’s a place that almost seems too good to be true, especially too good to be done on a budget. But…
If you haven’t been to Rothenburg ob der Tauber yet then WOW get off your computer and go pay it a visit ASAP. It may have taken the top spot of my favorite town in the world. Even if it’s not number one, it’s definitely a close contender. When I was preparing to go to…
Every travel blogger is guilty of taking about the top 10 most amazing places they’ve been. Heck I’m even guilty of it, as evidenced here.
