I recently went on a summer road trip around Iowa and had so much fun! Honestly, I picked Iowa because it was one of the last states that I hadn’t visited yet, and I’m trying to visit all 50. So it was a bit of a random pick for a road trip, but I didn’t […]

Nova Scotia was the last place we went on our eastern Canada road trip, and Halifax was a little out of our way but it was definitely worth the visit! We were there for two days, and while we spent most of the time in Halifax itself, we also checked out some smaller towns outside […]

During a road trip through Canada, we visited Prince Edward Island specifically because I loved reading the Anne of Green Gables books! It’s a beautiful island that is worth exploring even if you’re not an Anne fan, but if you are, these are the top Anne of Green Gables locations you need to check out […]

Minneapolis was our one stop in Minnesota on our Midwest road trip (don’t worry, I’ll be back to Minnesota to see more sights!), and we covered a lot of ground! We were there for one day and we saw most of the city, so I don’t think you need more than a few days in […]

When I visited London, I stayed in Notting Hill and loved it! There are lots of great cafes and restaurants to eat at, and it was such a beautiful place to walk around to catch a subway or bus to go sightseeing. And I definitely recommend taking some time to sightsee around the area, too. […]

During our Lake Champlain vacation, we took a day trip to Burlington, VT! If you’re staying in Plattsburgh, NY like we did, it’s only a little over an hour drive (including the ferry ride across the lake), so it’s an easy day trip. There’s lots to see and do in the city, but if you’re […]

Daufuskie Island is one of my favorite places in the US! (And I’ve been to 46 states so far, but few places compare to Daufuskie Island). It’s an island in South Carolina near Hilton Head, and it’s a pretty secluded place. I’ve been several times since I was 10 years old, and every time I […]

While we were on our honeymoon in Austria and Germany, Matt and I tried to see some unique and off-the-beaten-path places, and Burghausen Castle is one of the most unique palaces I’ve seen. At over 1,000 meters, Burghausen Castle is the longest castle complex in the world! I’ve been to castles like Versailles and lots […]

Hintersteiner See in Wilder Kaiser was actually the main reason Matt and I went on our honeymoon in the Austrian Alps! We wanted to honeymoon in a place with mountain lakes, and after looking at some places and comparing flights, we chose to honeymoon near Wilder Kaiser, thanks to Helene in Between’s glowing recommendation- and […]

Matt and I had our honeymoon in the Alps, and it was an amazing place for a honeymoon! We got married in August and I didn’t want to melt in the heat on a beach, so we looked for places to honeymoon near a mountain lake (if you’re also looking for an off-the-beaten-path honeymoon, I […]

If you want to take a trip to Florida, Fort Myers is an amazing place to visit! (I think it’s way better than Miami or Orlando). From historic houses to beautiful beaches and wild dolphins, Fort Myers has it all. But if you want to see more of Florida while you’re there, these are the […]
