I was traveling with a friend in Croatia and she mentioned to me that going to Cappadocia and riding in a hot air balloon was one of her dreams. I hadn't heard of it before but when I looked it up, the destination looked incredible. I met some friends in a hostel in Istanbul who were planning on going there next, so I jumped at the opportunity and off we went 2 days later!

My boyfriend and I were backpacking through Eastern Europe and had heard this was a great place to visit. We had also heard there was a great through-hike to do, so we head there with high hopes of great adventure. Spoiler— we found it!

A few years ago, I was living in Seattle and my best friend was living in LA. He came up for a super fast visit over the 4th of July weekend and had never been to Washington before, so I wanted to show him as much of the state as I could while still giving him a feel for Seattle. So I took him on a two-day road trip and then spent one day in the city.

We started our Italy trip in Rome and knew we wanted to explore the south of Italy. Our plan was to make it all the way around the boot and then end in Sicily, a place my boyfriend has wanted to see for a while. We ended up skipping most of the boot because there was a really easy overnight ferry from Naples to Palermo. So off to Sicily we went!

We were on a backpacking trip through the Balnkan's from Croatia to Albania. Montenegro was the most logical next step after Bosnia and Herzegovina.

I was heading to a business trip in Vietnam and since I’m a travel planner, I wanted to add a few destinations to the trip that I felt could get to know quickly. So I planned 2 weeks in Thailand know that I would need to be doing a little work here and there so couldn’t be moving around too much. One week in Bangkok and one week in Chiang Mai, where I was really interested in getting to know, felt like the perfect amount of time.
