I love the holiday season! It's always a time of family, fellowship and food :-) With Christmas rapidly approaching, I figured I would share some awesome travel gift ideas for the traveler in your life *or for yourself ;-)* These travel gifts include some of my absolute favorite products for the guys and gals at many different price points. Whether you're buying for a newbie traveler getting ready to embark on their first vacay or a seasoned traveler gearing up for the next big (or small adventure), these goodies are sure to have you covered!
Read MoreI haven't always wanted to go to the Amalfi Coast. I honestly didn't even know what/where it was until Jay Z dropped the lyric "it's humorous to me, they watching, we just yachting, hoppin off the Amalfi Coast" in Beyonce's "Upgrade U" After I heard that lyric, I googled the Amalfi Coast because if I figured if Jay and Bey frequented this place, it's probably pretty magical.
I was right.
Read MoreSantorini is beautiful and romantic destination that tops many travel bucket lists, so I was elated when I included Santorini in our Honeymoon plans. Like I mentioned in my previous post about our time in Athens, you'll definitely need more than a few days in Greece. Of all the destinations within our honeymoon trip, we spent the most time in Santorini. I chose this purposefully because I knew we wanted to end the trip in a place with no agenda and full of relaxation.

If I had to describe my honeymoon trip to Italy and Greece in two words they would be: Jam Packed! Seriously, I wanted to see and do everything in a matter of 10 days, so that meant packing our itinerary to the brim.
Read MoreLet me start off by saying that 12 hours in Athens is not nearly enough time. Not even close.

Read MoreI've officially entered my thirties and it doesn't feel like what I thought thirty was supposed to feel like. When I entered my twenties, I envisioned that thirty would feel like a high powered job, a husband and a couple of kids, and the random "Sex in the City"- esque nights out with my friends. I was cool with that. Instead, my 30 looks like a decent job and netflix and chill most nights with my new husband. I'm also cool with that. Because my twenties taught me a lot of things, but one of the most important lessons I learned was that life has plans that may or may not correlate with my own plans. I can either sulk and complain about it (which I did), or I can adjust, adapt and continue moving forward (which I've most recently decided to start doing.) That seems to be working out better for me.
Read MoreI've always wanted to visit San Juan and thanks to Southwest Rapid Rewards, I was able to snag two tickets for $24 last October. (You can find out more about why I love Rapid Rewards here :-)
San Juan instantly became one of my favorite places; friendly people, beautiful beaches and comida sabrioso helped me to quickly fall in love.
