Merry Christmas! Brian and I wanted to get in the festive spirit, so we headed to New York City for a week right before the holidays to see all of the decorations and finish Christmas shopping. We both worked from our New York offices during the week, but still had lots of time to eat at great restaurants and visit friends. Sharing our itinerary with you below if you’re planning a similar trip!

Cape Town is an incredible place, and I’m already excited to go back one day! I’m sharing the two week itinerary of things that my husband, Brian, and I did on our recent trip.

I’m so excited to share our itinerary for a long weekend visiting Glacier National Park! It was an amazing trip and the park was absolutely incredible.

A trip over a year in the making! I surprised my dad on St. Patrick’s Day 2022 with a trip to Ireland for his 70th birthday for the upcoming fall. We had started planning, and had a great itinerary sketched out. Our family history was traced back to County Kerry in the Southwest, so my dad wanted to spend most of the trip exploring that area, and the rest in Dublin.

My cousin and I took the train from Seattle to Portland on a Friday after work to visit my cousin Nolan who lives there. It’s always amazing to get to spend quality family time together!

After Cartagena, we spent two nights in Medellin, then headed to Costa Rica for a week! It was a decent travel day, with a layover in Bogata then landing in San Jose. We flew in at night, went to pick up rental car.

After our wedding in Tulum, we spent two nights in Miami to start off our honeymoon. Our next, and first “real” stop of the honeymoon was then Cartagena! It was a quick 2 1/2 hour flight from Miami and then we headed to our hotel, the Sofitel Legend Santa Clara Cartagena, which was a 20 minute drive from the airport.

Tulum was such a beautiful, relaxing place to go! In this post, I’ll be recapping our trip and answering questions you sent me on Instagram.

I’m on YouTube! Make sure to watch my recent travel vlog from Tulum! We tour wedding venues, eat great food, and explore the city! I can’t wait to share my FIRST VLOG with you!!!

Having spent time in high school living in Burgundy, I absolutely fell in love with Napa as it reminded me so much of my time in France. It’s beautiful, romantic and each winery has a different look and feel.

A work off-site took me to Santa Cruz for two nights which was a quick but great overview of the California town! We strolled the colorful boardwalk, had a sunset beach bonfire at Twin Lakes State Park and spent a lot of time at the resort team building.

There’s no better way to escape the Seattle winter than a trip South! My cousin Devin and I went to LA for a long weekend and spent three days eating, sightseeing and laughing.

You know how much I love Southern California! Any excuse I get to head South to get some sun, put my toes in the ocean, and soak up the green-juice loving community, I’ll take! In today’s post I’m sharing travel photos from a recent trip to Laguna Beach to visit friends! The weekend was full of laughs, trolly rides and being a little stressed out from how many times the life guards were rescuing swimmers.

As a side trip during our two weeks in London (read my London blog post one and two here), my boyfriend Brian and I went to Marrakech, Morocco for three nights! I've never been to Africa before, and with only being a 3.5 hour flight, Marrakech seemed like the perfect excursion for some beauty, adventure and fun!

Continuing from Part I of my London Travel Diary, here are some of my favorite photos from the second part of our trip to London! There's a ton here, so enjoy and I hope you find something that inspires you for your next trip!

Not even a week after Coachella, my boyfriend Brian and I hopped on a flight to London. Despite the airline moving up the flight by SIX hours so that we had to take a last minute half day and scramble to pack, we were excited to go back to Europe!

Even on a cold February day, the Washington coast is absolutely gorgeous! I have a week off between jobs so have spent my days filled with pampering treatments, dinner with friends and a day trip with my mom! 

There's something about the desert. I grew up going to Eastern Washington every summer where my affinity for the desert started. The warmth of the sun hitting you, the beautiful desert foliage that looks like you're on Mars, and the peacefulness of being able to see far into the distance. This is why I love traveling to the Southwest, so when I found out we'd be visiting  Joshua Tree National Park during a weekend trip to Palm Springs (read all about the trip here!), I couldn't wait!

Eleven girls headed to Palm Springs over MLK weekend to celebrate a beautiful bride-to-be! I love trips to the desert, so this was the perfect getaway weekend with amazing friends! I've pulled together my favorite shots of the weekend in this photo diary! From dinosaurs, to pool side parties, check out what we did and get some inspo for your next trip!
