๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด Do you secretly roll your eyes at instagr ๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ด Do you secretly roll your eyes at instagrammers for hiking in dresses? ๐Ÿคช I'll be honest, I used to think they were crazy. Over time though, I realized that most don't actually hike in the dresses, they just change clothes at their destination. Visiting Petra involves a lot of walking. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธIf you want to go up and see "The Monastery" it involves a hike with lots of dusty, sandy stairs (unless you're one of the people who rides the sad emaciated donkeys to avoid hiking ๐Ÿฅบ). The outfit I have on in this photo was not practical for such activities; so, I was tricky. ๐Ÿ˜ Under this flowy dress, I had on a t-shirt and hiking shorts. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ I kept the dress on over it for photos, but when I got too hot it was an easy fix! PS, Jordan recently opened up again to international tourism! Is this amazing country on your list?? ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ’– Do you celebrate Valentine's Day in any way? ๐Ÿ’– Do you celebrate Valentine's Day in any way? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Even when I was single, I always still did. I think it's a nice reminder to stop and appreciate all the love that is around us- romantic or not! This post though is a shout out though to John- the ultimate Instagram husband ๐Ÿ˜‚. He rarely makes an appearance in my feed (even though he takes 90% of my photos ๐Ÿ˜Š). We've had many great travel adventures over the years, starting with when we backpacked South America in 2009 after not even having dated for a year ๐ŸŒŽ Love you and the life we've worked hard to create (even if I hate your sunglasses and think they've ruined most of our travel photos ๐Ÿ˜œ)! ๐Ÿ’– Happy 12th Valentine's Day together!
Are you ever "too old" to build a snowman by yours Are you ever "too old" to build a snowman by yourself in your front yard while your neighbors judge you? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I hope not... If you want to get out and enjoy the snow, here's some local ideas! โ„๏ธ Go to Middle Creek Park and take a snowy hike (so scenic!) โ„๏ธ Build a snowman โ˜ƒ๏ธ โ„๏ธ Go snow tubing/skiing at @perfectnorth ๐ŸŽฟ โ„๏ธ Sled in the bowl at @devoupark ๐Ÿ›ท โ„๏ธ Walk around @newportonthelevee + get delicious hot chocolate under the tent โ˜• โ„๏ธ Visit the historic Dinsmore house (pictured) and hike around the grounds ๐Ÿ  โ„๏ธ Watch bison play in the snow at Big Bone Lick State Park ๐Ÿƒ
๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ Travel shoes! What are your favorite bran ๐Ÿ‡ง๐Ÿ‡ฌ Travel shoes! What are your favorite brands? I have crazy wide feet, so it's hard for me to find shoes that are comfortable to walk around in all day. ๐Ÿ˜ž I also want to find shoes that look cute with dresses (and will look good in photos ๐Ÿคช), but are also functional. Over the years, through trial and error (and a lot of blisters!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ), I have come to the conclusion that these sandals (@stevemadden ) and @toms sandals are actually the best affordable options for support and style. ๐Ÿฅฟ๐Ÿ‘ž I'm crazy and I ended up buying 3 pairs of these same gold sandals ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ What are your "go to" shoes when you want to be stylish but also not hurt your feet? ๐Ÿ‘‡
Travel destinations, but make it cats ๐Ÿ‘‰ Here's Travel destinations, but make it cats ๐Ÿ‘‰ Here's what I mean ๐Ÿ˜‚ ๐ŸฑPurris, France ๐ŸฑMinneaPAWlis, MN ๐ŸฑCinciCATti, Ohio ๐ŸฑMeowdrid, Spain ๐ŸฑMeowi, Hawaii ๐ŸฑKathmandu, Nepaw ๐ŸฑSt. Paw, Meownisota ๐ŸฑPurrlin, Germeowny I just came up with those in 3 minutes.. is this a hidden talent??! PS HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY PRECIOUS BABY KITTIES CORA AND COLITA!!! ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿง๐Ÿฐ๐ŸŽ๐ŸŽ‚๐ŸŽˆ๐ŸŽ‰ I decided to do a photo shoot for them in my basement because they have been through a lot this year with a new baby invading their space, and well... I was bored ๐Ÿคฃ Any clever cat place names you can add to the list? I'm gonna make this a TikTok so I need material! ๐Ÿ‘‡
โ„๏ธ Do you live in Cinci/NKy and are feeling st โ„๏ธ Do you live in Cinci/NKy and are feeling stir crazy lately? ๐Ÿคช I feel ya. Freezing rain, dark at 5pm, and nothing to do cuz of cov!d. (PS swipe to the last photo to see Lorenzo's reaction to my photo shoots ๐Ÿคฃ) In an attempt to not lose my mind from lack of travel and socializing, ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ I came up with a list of things you can do in this cruddy weather (and most you can bring kids to) ๐Ÿ‘‡ 1) Go to the @cincyartmuseum, it's free and fun. Then get lunch somewhere in Mt. Adams ๐ŸŽจ 2) Hit up @newport_aquarium and then get fancy hot chocolate in a tent they have set up at @newportonthelevee โ˜• 3) Go for a "country drive" in Union, Kentucky. Then, stop at Big Bone Lick State Park and see real bison... for free. ๐Ÿƒ 4) Walk around the abandoned Cincinnati Mills Mall (as featured in my "reels" section). It's unique, fun, and perfectly legal. ๐Ÿšถโ€โ™€๏ธ 5) Explore the @americansignmuseum and get some epic photos for the 'gram ๐Ÿ“ธ Any other fun and relatively easy activities to do in the cold? ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Instagram versus reality ๐Ÿ˜‚ Rome in Ju ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น Instagram versus reality ๐Ÿ˜‚ Rome in July (2019) was absolutely insane!! The only way I got this photo was to get there at 630am. ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ The video I took here was taken around noon the same day. Excuse the foggy film quality, it was hot ๐Ÿฅต Where's the most crowded city you've been to? ๐Ÿ‘‡ .............................. #romeitaly #italyiloveyou #italylovers #trevifountain #romeitaly #romegram #instagramvsreality #europe_pics #fontanaditrevi #dametraveler #italiangirl #romephotographer #visititaly๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น #italiainfoto #europedestinations
๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Where were you when you stayed in the bes ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ฒ Where were you when you stayed in the best AirBNB/VRBO rental you've experienced? ๐Ÿ‘‡ Bonus points if you can "at" them on here! When my spring baby moon to Puerto Rico was canceled (๐Ÿ˜ญ) and then any summer travels were also canceled (๐Ÿ˜ญ), I decided to make the most out of my maternity leave this past September. My husband and I took our then 3-month-old baby for a 5-day stay at a tiny cabin right on Lake Norris in Tennessee. ๐ŸŠโ€โ™‚๏ธ The cabin had its own private dock, and honestly we only left the cabin once to get food ๐Ÿž. Sometimes a rental is good enough that you don't really need to leave to enjoy yourself! ๐Ÿ˜ When I look back on all of my travels, the only thing I'm sad about is that Airbnb and VRBO weren't really very popular until the last few years. ๐Ÿ’• When I think about all the times I've spent in sketchy hostels and I could have been staying in a private rental for the same price... ๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ .................... #tennesseelife #visittennessee #lakelifeisthebestlife #lakenorris #sheinofficial #norrislake #vrbo #airbnblife #visitusa #sheisnotlost #visittennessee #babymooning #dametraveler #momssupportingmoms #wearetravelgirls #roadtripusa
๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ Cuba was easily one of my favorite places ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ Cuba was easily one of my favorite places I've ever been The 3 different families we stayed with in home stays ๐Ÿ during our ten day trip were all so genuine and friendly. โ˜บ๏ธ I loved the food. I loved the deep conversations we'd get into, and I loved getting to practice my Spanish so much!! I have two detailed blog posts about my experience, ๐ŸŒ although I think for the near future it will be very difficult to travel there. Until the day we can go back, enjoy this photo of a waterfall we hiked to in the national park near the city of #Trinidad ๐Ÿ’• What city or country have you been to with the friendliest people? ๐Ÿ‘‡ ...................................... #trinidadcuba #cubatravel #waterfallsofinstagram #cubanosporelmundo #topesdecollantes #visitcuba #cubalibre #carribeanlife #expediapic #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #cuba๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡บ #ladiesgoneglobal #cubatrip #cincinnatiblogger #cubalove
