Everyone has a dream- a vision for their life. Some dream of success in a career path, achieving recognition from peers. Others dream of true love, getting married, starting a family. Some dream of obtaining degrees, acquiring knowledge. Some seek fame, some seek fortune. All of these dreams- while different in their specifics- are equally beautiful. All of these dreams require work. All of these dreams require sacrifice, dedication, and effort. All of these dreams…
While this is not about traveling to far off destinations, it's about incorporating that love into your big day! Here are the details of our travel theme wedding in Cincinnati! I've always been a big "theme" lover. Our baby has a travel theme nursery, and my sisters threw me a travel theme baby shower. I even turned our home decor into one giant travel theme too! It's just how I am- love it or hate…
This post shows the details of my “welcome to the world” travel themed baby shower. I'd always envisioned this theme, and loved seeing it come to life! The original goal was to host this at a neighborhood clubhouse, but we had to have it in an outdoor venue (this was 2020). I think it still turned out beautifully! See my travel-themed wedding here!

One of my favorite travel experiences ever is my ten day road trip through Scotland. During that time, I fell in love with Edinburgh! It might even be my favorite city in all of Europe- now I just can't stop going back to visit. Happily, I found a way to get myself back to Scotland!

I decided then to merge…
The Salar de Uyuni, or salt flats of Uyuni, is easily one of the most ethereal places on earth. During a backpacking trip in Peru and Bolivia, I spent 2 days in this magical place. Here is how I'd describe my tour of the Salar de Uyuni, and what you can expect: |All photos taken by myself or my husband| Some links in this post are affiliate links, meaning if you book or buy something…
"Awe: An emotion variously combining veneration and wonder, that is inspired by authority or by the sacred or sublime" Sometimes when you travel, you arrive at a place and can’t help but feel a bit disappointed. You might even feel guilty for feeling that way. Isn’t everything supposed to be exciting and wonderful when you travel? Sometimes, unfortunately, that feeling is inevitable.
