🇯🇴 Do you secretly roll your eyes at instagr 🇯🇴 Do you secretly roll your eyes at instagrammers for hiking in dresses? 🤪 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. 🚶‍♀️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 🥺). The outfit I have on in this photo was not practical for such activities; so, I was tricky. 😁 Under this flowy dress, I had on a t-shirt and hiking shorts. 🚶‍♀️ 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?? 👇
💖 Do you celebrate Valentine's Day in any way? 💖 Do you celebrate Valentine's Day in any way? 👇 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 😂. He rarely makes an appearance in my feed (even though he takes 90% of my photos 😊). 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 🌎 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 😜)! 💖 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? 🤷‍♀️ I hope not... If you want to get out and enjoy the snow, here's some local ideas! ❄️ Go to Middle Creek Park and take a snowy hike (so scenic!) ❄️ Build a snowman ☃️ ❄️ Go snow tubing/skiing at @perfectnorth 🎿 ❄️ Sled in the bowl at @devoupark 🛷 ❄️ Walk around @newportonthelevee + get delicious hot chocolate under the tent ☕ ❄️ Visit the historic Dinsmore house (pictured) and hike around the grounds 🏠 ❄️ Watch bison play in the snow at Big Bone Lick State Park 🐃
🇧🇬 Travel shoes! What are your favorite bran 🇧🇬 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. 😞 I also want to find shoes that look cute with dresses (and will look good in photos 🤪), but are also functional. Over the years, through trial and error (and a lot of blisters!! 😭), I have come to the conclusion that these sandals (@stevemadden ) and @toms sandals are actually the best affordable options for support and style. 🥿👞 I'm crazy and I ended up buying 3 pairs of these same gold sandals 🤷‍♀️ What are your "go to" shoes when you want to be stylish but also not hurt your feet? 👇
Travel destinations, but make it cats 👉 Here's Travel destinations, but make it cats 👉 Here's what I mean 😂 🐱Purris, France 🐱MinneaPAWlis, MN 🐱CinciCATti, Ohio 🐱Meowdrid, Spain 🐱Meowi, Hawaii 🐱Kathmandu, Nepaw 🐱St. Paw, Meownisota 🐱Purrlin, 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!!! 🥳🧁🍰🎁🎂🎈🎉 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 🤣 Any clever cat place names you can add to the list? I'm gonna make this a TikTok so I need material! 👇
❄️ Do you live in Cinci/NKy and are feeling st ❄️ Do you live in Cinci/NKy and are feeling stir crazy lately? 🤪 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 🤣) In an attempt to not lose my mind from lack of travel and socializing, 🤦🏽‍♀️ I came up with a list of things you can do in this cruddy weather (and most you can bring kids to) 👇 1) Go to the @cincyartmuseum, it's free and fun. Then get lunch somewhere in Mt. Adams 🎨 2) Hit up @newport_aquarium and then get fancy hot chocolate in a tent they have set up at @newportonthelevee ☕ 3) Go for a "country drive" in Union, Kentucky. Then, stop at Big Bone Lick State Park and see real bison... for free. 🐃 4) Walk around the abandoned Cincinnati Mills Mall (as featured in my "reels" section). It's unique, fun, and perfectly legal. 🚶‍♀️ 5) Explore the @americansignmuseum and get some epic photos for the 'gram 📸 Any other fun and relatively easy activities to do in the cold? 👇
🇮🇹 Instagram versus reality 😂 Rome in Ju 🇮🇹 Instagram versus reality 😂 Rome in July (2019) was absolutely insane!! The only way I got this photo was to get there at 630am. 💁‍♀️ The video I took here was taken around noon the same day. Excuse the foggy film quality, it was hot 🥵 Where's the most crowded city you've been to? 👇 .............................. #romeitaly #italyiloveyou #italylovers #trevifountain #romeitaly #romegram #instagramvsreality #europe_pics #fontanaditrevi #dametraveler #italiangirl #romephotographer #visititaly🇮🇹 #italiainfoto #europedestinations
🇺🇲 Where were you when you stayed in the bes 🇺🇲 Where were you when you stayed in the best AirBNB/VRBO rental you've experienced? 👇 Bonus points if you can "at" them on here! When my spring baby moon to Puerto Rico was canceled (😭) and then any summer travels were also canceled (😭), 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. 🏊‍♂️ The cabin had its own private dock, and honestly we only left the cabin once to get food 🍞. Sometimes a rental is good enough that you don't really need to leave to enjoy yourself! 😁 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. 💕 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... 😜🤦🏽‍♀️ .................... #tennesseelife #visittennessee #lakelifeisthebestlife #lakenorris #sheinofficial #norrislake #vrbo #airbnblife #visitusa #sheisnotlost #visittennessee #babymooning #dametraveler #momssupportingmoms #wearetravelgirls #roadtripusa
🇨🇺 Cuba was easily one of my favorite places 🇨🇺 Cuba was easily one of my favorite places I've ever been The 3 different families we stayed with in home stays 🏠during our ten day trip were all so genuine and friendly. ☺️ 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, 🌏 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 💕 What city or country have you been to with the friendliest people? 👇 ...................................... #trinidadcuba #cubatravel #waterfallsofinstagram #cubanosporelmundo #topesdecollantes #visitcuba #cubalibre #carribeanlife #expediapic #dametraveler #wearetravelgirls #cuba🇨🇺 #ladiesgoneglobal #cubatrip #cincinnatiblogger #cubalove
