Sound of Music Sites in Salzburg, Austria

The hills are alive... with the sound of music! While you won’t encounter many locals raving about the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein musical, the majority of tourists to Salzburg will be! Growing up with a mom who is absolutely enamored by the musical retelling of the Von Trapp family story, I’ve always dreamed of seeing places from that timeless film. While there are loads of other things to experience in Salzburg, these were a few…

Reasons to Visit Kentucky: The Top 5 Things to Do (From a Local!)

Unique things to do in Kentucky

When people think of Kentucky, often they envision horse races, big hats, and maybe some barefoot children running around a coal mine in the hollers of the Appalachians. While these images (however stereotypical) may represent portions of the bluegrass state, there is so much more than just banjos and moonshine in the great Commonwealth! As a born and raised (northern) Kentuckian with a love of exploration, these are my top 5 things to do- all…

Best Tacos in Cincinnati (+Latin Food!)

Over the years, my husband and I began a quest to find the best, most authentic tacos in the area. We wanted to find that one local place that could come close to the delicious foods we've had on our travels in South America.  After several years, this is the list we came up with! Here are our own opinions of where to find the best tacos in Cincinnati (and Northern Kentucky).  These places are…

Top 10 Things to Do in Cuzco, Peru

I’ve been to many places around the world, and in all sincerity, Cuzco is one of my favorites. It combines the ancient with new in a way you don't see elsewhere. The indigenous cultures blend together in the city’s art and history, dotted with evidence of the Spanish conquest. The native art, food, and traditions combine with European architecture to create a truly matchless place. After a visit here during my month long backpacking trip,…

How to do it ⬇️ ⭐️ 1: Pull up the AirBNB How to do it ⬇️

⭐️ 1: Pull up the AirBNB listing you want
⭐️ 2: Right click an image and tap “search Google for this image”
⭐️ 3: If the property has its own website, this should come up easily as the “image source”. You can also try typing the property name into Google (if it has a unique name).
⭐️ 4: Compare the price of booking direct versus with AirBNB. Almost always, it’s cheaper without the third party booking host. 

👉There are some safety and security benefits to booking through a host site like AirBNB, so make sure to do plenty of research and read several reviews before you book independently.

Ah, how nice it is to go where the only traffic jams involve bicycles or horse-drawn carriages! 🚲 🐎 

This charming, car-free island kinda feels like stepping back in time. 🕰️ 

It has many older homes, great Victorian architecture (including the stunning Grand Hotel- which by the way there is a romance movie about starring Jane Seymour 🎥 !), and the overall vibe of this place is so unique. 

The island is also known for its fudge, 🍫 and biking trails! This was actually so much fun to do with our two young kids. It’s easy to rent bikes and pull along wagons 🚲 

🚗 How to Get There from Mackinaw City:

Park your car in Mackinaw City, then hop on a ferry to the island. Two main companies will take you there in 15-20 minutes, and they run from early morning until about 8pm. ⛴️ 

You can do this as a day trip if short on time!

I can’t speak for getting there by train, 🚈 but if you have a rental car, it’s very easy to get to this beautiful village in the Cotswolds! 🩵

They have a (paid) public parking lot, 🚙 and then you have to walk about ten minutes downhill to get to the town center. We packed ourselves a picnic lunch 🧺 and had a nice afternoon exploring the homes and the old church. 

While there isn’t necessarily tons “to do” here, plenty of visitors stay for a full day or two and just soak in the beauty and simplicity of the English countryside, as well as the restaurants and tea rooms 🫖

The scoop on this hike ⬇️ The Quiraing is on The scoop on this hike ⬇️ 

The Quiraing is one of the best known and popular views on the Isle of Skye, and rightfully so. It truly exceeded my expectations and was truly stunning. 

I didn’t want to leave- the views were giving me chills and I will always remember my time there. 🩵

This was by far my favorite hiking trail during all my time in Scotland. However… we were very lucky and had incredible weather and visibility. ☀️ On a cloudy day, it would still be beautiful, but maybe not as dramatically so 🤷🏻‍♀️. Just keep that in mind!

If you did the whole loop trail without stopping, it is considered “moderately challenging” and would take you about 2 hours. 🥾So, realistically, give yourself (at minimum) 3 hours to really enjoy it!
