WHAT IT'S REALLY LIKE TO GO ON SAFARI IN SOUTH AFRICA | OUR STAY AT HIPPO LAKES
Going on an African safari had been on my bucket list forever, but before actually doing it, I don't think I fully understood what the experience would be like. I had so many questions. Our stay at Hippo Lakes Luxury Safari Lodge in South Africa answered all of those questions and ended up being one of the most memorable travel experiences I've ever had.

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO THE WHITE MOUNTAINS: OMNI MOUNT WASHINGTON
This Valentine's Day weekend, Ryan and I decided to take a trip to the White Mountains to go skiing and have a romantic getaway. We headed one and a half hours east to New Hampshire's premiere ski resort, Bretton Woods, for a day on the mountain and an overnight stay at the historic Omni Mount Washington Resort. It was our first time in the White Mountains, and let me just mention, they are STUNNING! The resort is just as spectacular as the views of the Presidential Range tha

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: THE STOWEHOF
By now you all know how much we LOVE Stowe, Vermont! It was the first place Ryan and I ever lived together, and is just a short drive from where we live now. We also love a good staycation - so we recently decided to head to the mountain for a weekend getaway at The Stowehof. Located on 26 acres with panoramic views of Mount Mansfield, The Stowehof is a beautiful and charming inn reminiscent of a country lodge, with retro decor and hidden nooks throughout. Staying here means

My family and I have begun to make it a tradition to take a mini vacation for my mom's birthday each year. You my remember last year's trip when my sister, Samantha, and I took her to Greenport, Long Island (you can read my Guides to Greenport HERE) and had the MOST RELAXING long weekend. This year we decided to go to Cape Cod, as none of us have EVER been, and my brother decided to join along in the fun! Cape Cod is the perfect spot to visit if you're into quaint villages, s

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO STOWE, VERMONT: THE LODGE AT SPRUCE PEAK

WHERE TO STAY | MY GUIDE TO GREENPORT, NEW YORK: SOUND VIEW
When my sister, Samantha, and I decided we wanted to take a mini vacation with my mom to celebrate her birthday we knew we had to find the perfect spot! Sound View in Greenport literally says it is THE PERFECT SPOT on their website!...so we knew that would be the backdrop of our week long trip. I had never been to Greenport before and was pleasantly surprised when I saw just how much there is to actually do there, especially in the summer! Since we visited right after Labor D

MY GUIDE TO INLET BEACH, FLORIDA
This cool and casual beach town offers more of a low-key stay than the other towns along Scenic 30A. You will find cozy cottages next to more modern villas and the largest beach access of all of the towns. While we only visited Inlet Beach for a quick dinner on two different occasions, I could definitely see myself returning to explore more! EAT amici 30A: We went to amici 30A for happy hour and got more than we came for! Delicious drinks, tasty appetizers, and cu

MY GUIDE TO ROSEMARY BEACH, FLORIDA
The charming architecture of Rosemary Beach creates a sense of community unlike any other town that I visited along Scenic 30A. This New Urbanism community has interconnected neighborhoods complete with footpaths, boardwalks and secret pathways leading you to the shops, restaurants, tennis courts, swimming pools, and, of course, the beach! Cars are restricted on many of the roadways so you can wander without a care. Unlike Alys Beach, where all of the homes are white, the hou

MY GUIDE TO SEASIDE, FLORIDA
The carefree beach neighborhood of Seaside looks like it is straight out of a movie - because it is! The Truman Show was filmed here, and you can immediately recognize the perfect pastel houses, white picket fences and manicure lawns that Truman Burbank "grew up" in. You can walk or bike anywhere, and the town is filled with restaurants, art galleries and boutique shops. An outdoor amphitheater is often the site of concerts in the summer and Seaside's famous airstream trailer

MY GUIDE TO ALYS BEACH, FLORIDA
Alys Beach is perhaps one of the most visually stunning towns I have visited in a long time! The sugar-white sand and turquoise waters are complimented by a carefully crafted world in which all of the homes and buildings are whitewashed and nestled in the palm trees. You will find secluded courtyards, wide open green spaces, and beautiful entryways as you explore the stone-paved streets. Alys Beach is definitely an unforgettable oasis. EAT Charlie’s Donut Tru
