When we returned from our trip in December of 2020, I was lucky enough to be writing with a gorgeous tan glow after returning from a wonderful 9 day stay at Kagi Spa Island where we had a rejuvenating experience. 2020 had not been easy for anyone, but Neil and I have been very thankful to have our health and employment…
View MoreI have attempted to write this blog post more than a handful of times. My head and heart were not in a place to write about our recent travel when we returned home in March of 2020. We returned after the pandemic had just begun and it had already overtaken our emotions. Many months have…
View MoreIt’s time again for another round of clean beauty products that I’m loving when we travel! This version is slightly more focused on the winter weather, even though I know it’s nearly spring. Our last post was all about how we are now eating a plant-based diet, and when it comes to products I use…
View MoreAlright, Mickey-shaped pretzel-lovers, hold on to your butts! Neil and I are probably two of the last people you’d expect to take time and visit Walt Disney World (WDW).

Neil and I have been traveling for years and neither one of us had even been to England before 2019. Hear me out here: London was never a place that I really had any interest in seeing. I got to travel to Europe a bit as a kid and with all the other countries I…
View MoreIslands are great, aren’t they? Beaches, the ocean, the highest humidity of all types of land formations. Neil had easily been talking about going to the Maldives since 2012. Back then, it was a place that sounded really far away and really expensive. It was still very far away and very expensive when we got…
View MoreFor us, there wasn’t a question when it came to which part of Capri we were going to spend our time. Since I had some pretty vivid memories of my trip to the isle 17 years ago, Anacapri was where I wanted to take Neil. However, if you aren’t sure which part of the island…
View MoreNow that we’ve gone on a few multi-week, multi-country trips, I think it’s a great time to share some standard items we pack. Our first trip like that was large backpack-based while our most recent trip allotted for 6 bags between us, so there will be a range of what makes sense to pack into…
