When I’m traveling, I try to live by the motto that almost anything can be bought at your destination. My husband, on the other hand, is a literal pack rat because he feels he “might need” just about everything he owns. To each their own.

If you’re craving some Mediterranean sun, you may be thinking about visiting the beautiful coast of Greece. And really, you can’t go wrong here. Most trips to Greece start with Athens as a jumping off point from which to go island hopping, but popular spots like Santorini and Mykonos can be overcrowded, take longer to get to, and tend not to be very budget friendly.

My number one secret for finding cheap flights is to use Google Flights. You can compare prices from different airlines and the algorithm is wicked good. Search by destination, dates, or use the Explore option to see what deals are out there at any given time.

You could spend months on end in Interlaken without tiring of the beauty and endless outdoor activities, but many people don’t get that luxury! So with four days, you can absolutely hit the highlights without having to move a mile a minute, as is the American way. Situated below the mountains in between two alpine lakes, Interlaken is a perfect base for exploration of the Swiss Alps and some good small town charm.

If you’re planning to take a trip to Italy this summer, you’re likely considering spending some time in the Amalfi Coast. Filled with beautiful beaches, charming Italian towns, and all the gelato you can possibly imagine, Amalfi is the perfect region to add to your European adventure. We had the chance to visit Capri last summer and fell in love with the rugged coastline and winding city corridors.

We rent out our primary residence about once a month and every time we travel.

It’s not always easy and I’ve spent more than a few nights tossing and turning over the possibility of returning to a mangled couch or a kitchen fire, but it’s been overwhelmingly worth it.

Three days is a good amount of time to get a taste of Annecy, France. Nicknamed the Venice of the Alps, Annecy is home to lots of Alpine influence, beautiful canals, and the cleanest lake in Europe!

To say “I do” is one thing, but to follow through everyday is something completely different. That’s why I love planning anniversary parties!

A week in Roatan is the perfect amount of time to explore the island without feeling rushed. Most of the tourist traffic comes from cruise ships, but I think 8 hours isn’t enough time to get a real taste of the island.

I work closely with a nonprofit called Redeemer Christian Foundation, which provides education for children living in poverty in South Asia. I have the pleasure of planning their events and we’d been working on a big fundraiser…

Last week, I was supposed to board a plane home from my elopement and European vacation. I had a long-standing daydream of eloping somewhere abroad and my now-husband Jarod, who makes all my dreams come true, was on board so…
