To conclude this segment of my “travel outtakes” series (click here to see the previous posts in the series), I went with a tropical theme for anyone who has recently caught themselves daydreaming of island life (me!). Today, I will be sharing pictures that did …
For this round of travel outtakes (click here for the first round), I wanted to share photos that did not make the cut for the original blog post I wrote about our honeymoon in South Africa. Just as I did in my previous post, I …
During our COVID-19 quarantine, I have been looking through old travel photos in an attempt to distract myself and reminisce about happy times. I have found that looking through old photos has helped me a lot, so I wanted to share some travel outtakes for …
The last stop on our amazing South African honeymoon was going on safari in Sabi Sands. Sabi Sands borders Kruger National Park and encompasses a number of safari lodges and reserves. J and I stayed at Arathusa Safari Lodge, which I could not recommend more. …
Whenever I tell people that we chose South Africa for our honeymoon, I’m always asked, “why South Africa?” and “did both of you want to go to South Africa?” I never understood this. Why NOT South Africa?! J and I have lists of places we …
Sadly, our adventures in Greece had to come to an end, but I have to say, there was no better way to conclude our journey around the Cyclades than with a few days in Milos. As far as sightseeing goes, we went to see the …
These are the pictures you’ve been waiting for, right? Here they are! This is beautiful Santorini in all its glory. Honestly, Santorini is everything you would expect it to be: beautiful views, clear water, white buildings with blue rooftops, etc. etc. But isn’t that also …
After Athens, we headed to our first Greek island: Naxos. Out of all the islands in the Cyclades, Naxos made the cut because we wanted to go somewhere a little off the beaten path. We wanted an island that was known to be beautiful, had …
Happy New Year, everyone! Long time no write. Don’t worry, I am hoping to be more active here in 2019 . . . we have a lot of fun things planned! In the meantime, I wanted to write about our most recent trip to Greece. …
This spring, I went to Hawaiʻi for the first time and it. was. incredible. I originally thought that this trip was my graduation present from J, but as it turns out, it also ended up being a great way to celebrate our engagement! The day …
As I have gotten older and have tried to get used to this adulting thing, I have come to realize that summer vacations don’t come around as often as they used to. When this summer rolled around, I had already used up all of my …
One of my goals is to travel as much as I can, especially to places I have never been before. This summer, I managed to cross another place off my list: Québec, Canada. Over July Fourth weekend, J and I took a trip to Québec …
For Memorial Day Weekend this year, J took me to Virginia – specifically, to the places where he grew up and spent most of his time before we were together. We started in Charlottesville, then drove through the mountains, made a quick stop at Natural …
This March, I was invited to a beautiful wedding in Arizona. Since I don’t often get to visit the West Coast, and since I had never been to Arizona before (let alone the Grand Canyon), I took the opportunity to take time off work for …
