North American Travel
I’ve made it to 46 states so far, so I’ve seen a lot of what the United States has to offer. This section features my favorite places and things to do, plus massive bucket lists for each region of the country to help you plan your travels.
European Travel
It’s no secret that I fell in love with Europe the very first time I visited. You’ll find content about Austria, Poland, Italy, Iceland, and France in this section, including food, natural wonders, historic sites, and more!
South American Travel
Peru is one of the most popular countries in South America for visitors and once you visit the Andes, you’ll see why. Check out all my tips and guides to plan your visit in this section.
Disney Parks
I grew up visiting Disney World almost annually and then ended up working there during college, so it’s safe to say that it almost feels like home. Disney posts are some of my favorites to write, so check out this section for info on Disney World, Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris.
Travel Decor and Gifts
This section was inspired by my desire to incorporate my love of travel into the decor of my house without being too cheesy. It features my favorite travel-themed decor and gifts travelers will love.
