Ever since we first saw a Seabob on the show Below Deck, Ryan and I have dreamed of one day trying it! We got the chance to join a private tour with Seabob Aruba and, let me tell you, it was AMAZING! Our guide Leo picked us up at our hotel, Casa Del Mar, bright and early for a 9AM tour - it was a beautiful morning and the sky was a bright blue with barely any clouds. We headed to Boca Catalina beach where we would begin our adventure for the day. If you have never heard of a

We spent the majority of the summer kayaking around Vermont, so when we go the chance to join Clear Kayak Aruba for an excursion in Aruba we were so excited. We haven’t gotten too many opportunities to kayak in the sea so when we set off on our tour bright and early we were anxious for what would await us. Nico from Clear Kayak Arub

This post is in partnership with the Aruba Tourism Authority. When we first planned our trip to Aruba it was supposed to be a family trip to celebrate my mom’s birthday and one of her favorite activities to do is head to the spa for massages! Aruba Tourism helped us plan the perfect spa day and I was so sad when she decided not to make the trip due to COVID-19. We saved the spa day for the last day of our trip to make sure we were super relaxed before heading back to reality!

This post is in partnership with the Aruba Tourism Authority. One of our favorite parts about our visit to Aruba was all of the delicious food we ate! Our favorite restaurant we visited on our trip was definitely El Faro Blanco Restaurant! It was one of my favorite evenings of the whole trip - the setting was absolutely beautiful and really reminded me of a trip I went on to Italy when I was younger - which is so appropriate because they serve the most DELICIOUS Italian food!

When I was a young girl my favorite activity in Aruba was to go snorkeling. We would often bring our own snorkels and head into the shallow waters along the beautiful beaches to search for fish and coral. This year we got the opportunity to take a snorkeling trip with Pelican Adventures aboard one of their catamarans, which would take us all the way out into the ocean to explore shipwrecks and more! We started the day by meeting at the Pelican Pier, which is a great spot for

If you’ve been following us for a while now you know how much we LOVE going on an ATV tour whenever we go on vacation. We have ATVs at home and find that it is such a great way to explore. When we got the chance to partner with Kini Kini Tours on our trip to Aruba we were THRILLED! Not only do they offer ATV tours but they also offer UTV and luxury bus tours of the island. The ATV tour was the first excursion we went on during our trip and it was also the first time we have e

As Memorial Day Weekend comes to an end, I figured I would talk to you guys about one of my favorite things to do - Travel! When we left for our trip to the Virgin Islands two weeks ago, I had already been traveling for over a month to Florida, New York City, and Denver. I got asked by a ton of you how Ryan and I travel so much, and since this isn’t the first time, I thought I’d share my tips for traveling more! PLAN AHEAD This is probably the hardest tip for us to follow our

Now that the holidays are over winter is just COLD. The only thing I am looking forward to is a sunny and warm day! We are getting a polar vortex or something that is some kind of awful coming our way and I can't help but day dream about being in a tropical location... or honestly, just anywhere that isn't -20 degrees! I think it is safe to say that I have caught the winter blues! I've put together a list of some of the warm and beautiful places Ryan and I have travelled that

Like I said in my previous posts, I’ve basically grown up in Aruba. I truly consider it my second home and have probably been there over twenty times. The only times that I’ve missed the trips with my family were when I was in college and the timing interfered with my first week of classes. I was so thrilled to finally be able to show Ryan this part of my life and especially to take him to Madame Janette’s. Every year for as long as I can remember my family has picked on nigh

Ryan and I were so lucky to attend a beautiful dinner at Gasparito Restaurant and Art Gallery. This local gem is renowned for authentic Aruban dishes, the historic architecture of their building and inspiring Aruban art. The restaurant is family-run by the Barros family and we were immediately greeted by the owner, Raymond, upon our arrival. He explained the origins of the restaurant to us and that his son, Chef Dan, was the culinary mastermind behind all of their delicious d

Ryan and I absolutely love to go snorkeling and try to get a trip in whenever we are in an area that is known for their coral reefs, shipwrecks, or tropical fish. Aruba has ALL THREE so we definitely could not pass up the chance to partner with Sailaway Tour on their four hour morning snorkeling trip. We arrived at MooMba Beach at the base of Hadicurari Pier around 9AM for our 9:30AM tour and were immediately greeted by one of the tour guides who took us to the tender that wo

For as long as I can remember we have been coming to Aruba on vacation. When I was about two years old, my parents purchased a time share at the Casa Del Mar Resort and it has been a second home for me and my family. I was so excited when I looked at Ryan’s schedule and saw that he had a few days off on exactly the week that we always go, and that I could finally show him my version of growing up. We’ve been to his cottage in Canada four times now since we began dating but he
