The best Istanbul and Cappadocia Itinerary!

Everything you need to know for your bucket list trip to the Maldives! Whether you’re looking for luxury or wondering how to do this trip affordably (you absolutely can!), read on my friends.

Sometimes body weight workouts can get old. We lose motivation over the idea of that same ol’ push-up/squat/lunge combo. There comes a time when we need to spice it up! That’s why I’ve made a list of my favorite fitness equipment to pack along in our travels.

Italy has been on my mind more than ever these days. Each country is experiencing their own pain, but there’s something about Italy that makes theirs hit deeper. Maybe it’s the fact they were the first after China to be crushed by death and isolation.

Keeping up your fitness while you travel can be difficult to prioritize. Trust me, I get it. You are likely drinking more alcohol and/or eating food that is new to your body and in larger quantities. It’s hard to get your butt out of bed, but let me tell you, it is ALWAYS worth it!

Ah Croatia. This was a place at the top of our list for as long as we’ve known each other. As we were planning out the week, it was difficult to narrow down our route. In the end, we had an absolute dream trip, so I will confidently tell you how you should spend a week in Croatia.

After searching the best flights and relentlessly asking my Dutch clients about their favorite ski destinations, we settled on our first Euro ski holiday. Innsbruck, Austria would lead us to the Alps of Tirol – where spätzle and schnapps are joyfully consumed by all, and we join approximately 5 other snowboarders on the mountain.

Dinant (read in a French accent butchered by yours truly) is a city in the Walloon region of Belgium. I’m sure this sounds basic, but I first saw this picturesque gem of a place on Instagram, and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Instagram is a great way to find new ways to inspire your adventures!

Bratislava, Slovakia first entered my radar when I took my mom to Vienna for a girl’s trip to the Christmas markets. A quick train ride to Bratislava was recommended by our Airbnb host, but we were unable to fit it in our schedule consumed by Glühwein and apple strudel.

Since we moved to Amsterdam, we’ve been to the coast multiple times, feeling the mist of the North Sea breeze on our faces, and pedaled our road bikes past windmills, canals and lighthouses to tiny Dutch villages. There is no denying the beauty here, but growing up in Colorado and Alaska, there is an element we miss deeply…Mountains.

Who loves sunshine?! Same. Unfortunately, the Netherlands keeps the sun in hiding most of the year. It’s rough. Especially for this spoiled, West Coast baby. Winter felt like it would never end, but I can’t blame it all on the grey, rainy skies.

Amsterdam has been our home for just over 9 months now and, since summer is right around the corner, we wanted to create a quick guide. It feels like we’re still scratching the surface of all there is to experience here; there is so much to do, see and eat in this canal city!

The South of France as a whole is a dreamy place where you’re encouraged to move at a slower pace and drink bubbly at any time of day (also known as heaven I think?) Blessed with Mediterranean weather year-round, enjoying your apertif outside is a way of life.
