Our daughter was study abroad for the semester and spending the last part of her trip in London. We went over the pond to spend Thanksgiving with her. While not the traditional way to spend the American holiday, we still manage to get caught up in the holiday spirit and London was an incredible place to be this time of year!
Estes Park holds a special place in my heart, as my family took annual trips there when I was growing up. It’s a place filled with beautiful memories and nostalgia, so I decided to surprise my now husband with a trip there to celebrate our dating anniversary. Visiting in the fall made it even more magical, with the vibrant leaves changing colors and the chance to witness elk during their rut season.
We went on our first trip to Scotland and couldn't get enough! We went back to complete more of our bucket list items in this beautiful country. We explored a couple of the same areas, but added the West Coast and South Scotland, also known as the Scottish Borders.
When we started planning our honeymoon, we knew we wanted something intimate, scenic, and full of memories we’d carry forever. Waterton Lakes National Park sounded like the perfect spot—and let me tell you, it didn’t disappoint. Every day felt like stepping into a dreamy postcard.
Thailand has always been one of our favorite getaway destinations, especially since it’s just a short trip from where we live. Whenever there’s a long weekend, we find ourselves drawn back to this beautiful country—its perfect mix of shopping, culture, nature, and warm hospitality makes every visit special.
One of the things we love most about Thailand is how budget-friendly it is. You can indulge in amazing food, explore stunning sights, and experience luxury without spending a fortune. It’s a place that feels both modern and deeply rooted in tradition, where skyscrapers stand alongside historic temples, and vibrant markets buzz with energy. No matter how many times we visit, Thailand always has something new to offer, which is why we never miss a chance to return!
My husband is of Scottish heritage and we love the landscape of the countryside and seaside villages.
We have seen so many beautiful photos of Sri Lanka and wanted to do see what the island could offer. We couldn't be happier as we explored their jungles, safari, beach and saw its rich history. We did the famous triangle route starting in their big city, went across the other side of the island, did safari, relaxed in one of their famous beaches, explored the rich culture of Portuguese colonialism, and ate different Sri Lankan food. It was one of the best trips we have encountered.
After a whirlwind year full of planning, bridal showers, bachelor & bachelorette trips, and finally, our wedding day, my husband and I wanted to find the perfect destination to begin our life together as newlyweds. We wanted to travel somewhere beautiful, steeped in history, dotted with beaches, exciting culture, and equal opportunities for relaxation and adventure. The island of Mallorca checked all the boxes. With its stunning natural landscapes, lively cities, and delectable food - Mallorca was home to our dream honeymoon.

We chose to travel to the Dominican Republic because it offered the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure in a destination neither my husband nor I had visited before. The country’s reputation for stunning beaches, warm hospitality, and incredible all-inclusive resorts made it an easy choice for our honeymoon. We wanted a location where we could truly unwind, enjoy luxurious amenities, and experience a new culture together—and the Dominican Republic exceeded all our expectations.
A Thanksgiving visit to see our daughter studying abroad in Spain.
Got the girl gang together to reunite from all our abroad destinations! Prague is beaming with beauty and nightlife and is the perfect destination for a girls trip.
I chose a weekend getaway in these three locations because Portugal is in close proximity to Spain, and my best friend and I wanted to do a little trip together. We chose to see Lisbon as it is a city destination where we know a few other students studying abroad, and I recommended Sintra as I went there a few years back and absolutely adored it. Nazaré is a bucket list place that I've always wanted to visit to see the world-famous surfing waves and picturesque cliffs. Portugal isn't too big so we could hop around from place to place.
My son was studying his Spring semester of college in Amsterdam and we wanted to go visit for Spring Break. We had a limited amount of time (given we also had a senior in high school) and we wanted/needed a trip that took us to places we have never seen (I had been to Europe before, but my youngest son/husband had not), made the best use of our time with our son studying abroad (we wanted to go places with him he had not been), and where we didn't need multiple wardrobes (to cut down on packing). It was quite a planning challenge! But, my husband was up for the task and everything I am sharing he planned - it was nothing short of perfect!
Born and raised in St. Louis so this is the itinerary I recommend to my friends when visiting :)
