Safari in Sabi Sands | South Africa 2019
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. …
Johannesburg | South Africa 2019
We only spent one full day in Johannesburg, but we jammed it full of activities. Animal-related activities. The centers and sanctuaries that we went to in Johannesburg play a large role in the protection and conservation of the animals they housed. While I still have …
Cape Town | South Africa 2019
Our next stop on our South African adventure was Cape Town. We stayed at a hotel that was right on the waterfront and was just a short walk away from all the shops and restaurants. We got our best souvenir shopping done on the waterfront …
Franschhoek | South Africa 2019
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 …
Old House Vineyards | Culpeper, VA
This spring, J and I took a road trip to Culpeper for a wedding. Since we were only there for one full day, we decided to spend our time before the wedding exploring Culpeper. We started our morning walking around downtown Culpeper with a group …
Milos | Greece 2018
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 …
Santorini | Greece 2018
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 …
Naxos | Greece 2018
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 …
Athens | Greece 2018
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. …
Hawaiʻi 2018
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 …
Update: Spring & Summer 2018 ❤️
Ok. As proven by my track record, it seems New Year’s resolutions don’t really work out for me. I’ve been severely slacking on my weekly videos, I know, but I do want to try to at least get videos up of two very exciting trips …
Christmas in NYC 2017
If I haven’t already mentioned this, Christmastime is my favorite time to be in New York City. In fact, I love it so much that even before J and I started dating I made it an annual tradition to go to NYC in the month …
A Day in Brooklyn
A few weekends ago when I was in New York, J and I spent a day in Brooklyn. The weather was lovely, so we thought it would be the perfect day to do two things that neither of us had done before: walk around the …
