One Day in Madrid (Walking Route Map Included!)

Madrid - Spain’s popular and walkable capital city. If you're short on time, follow my walking map to see the main sites with just one day in Madrid : While living in Valencia, I traveled to Madrid several times. For a few of my visits, I had only one day to introduce the city to newcomers. Through trial and error, here is the best way I've found to maximize your time!  Some links in this…

Sometimes you can even get free childcare thrown i Sometimes you can even get free childcare thrown into the mix. It’s really a great practice and I highly recommend everyone to try this travel hack!

Details on visiting ⬇️🦇 I feel like we all Details on visiting ⬇️🦇

I feel like we all collectively forget this fact, but Mammoth Cave is the WORLD’s longest cave system- 🌎 not just in the USA, but yes...the WORLD! 

They’ve already explored and documented around 400 miles of it, and they know that’s not all there is to it. 🤯

I was pleasantly surprised with how accessible the cave and its tours are for families. 👶🏼 

We did two different cave tours with a baby (in a front baby carrier) and a toddler (walking, but had a toddler sling holder for steps, etc.), and both went really well!

🦇 When you visit the cave, there are multiple tours to choose from. We did the “Frozen Niagara” and the “Historic Tour”, both of which were great! 👍 

Being from Kentucky, I’ve been to Mammoth Cave several times over the years, but it never ceases to impress me! 😮

Everyone should visit at some point…unless you are claustrophobic, scared of the dark, or scared of bats!!

🌷Holland, Michigan : a little piece of the Neth 🌷Holland, Michigan : a little piece of the Netherlands here in the Midwest 😇. So much beauty and fun activities, you need to go! @discoverholland 

Founded in 1847 by Dutch immigrants, they brought tulips, windmills, and a whole lot of wooden shoes with them! 🇳🇱 Now it’s a great blend of European charm and small-town vibes.

Here are 5 unique things you *must* do in the Holland area:

1. 🌬️ Explore the windmill, canals, and trails at the @windmillislandgardens . Bonus points for trying all the cheese 🧀 

2. 🌷 Stroll among 4.5 million tulips during the Tulip Time Festival! @tulip_time 

3. 🚲 Bike along the scenic lakeshore to Big Red Lighthouse, or have a beach day 🏖️ 

4. 🥖 Grab a pastry at @deboerbakery (because carbs > everything) or drinks at @newhollandbrew 🍻 

5. 🕰️ Jump back in time and explore Dutch history, culture, and food at @nelis.dutch.village 

🚗 Drive Times to Holland:
- Grand Rapids: 35 mins
- Chicago: 2 hrs 15 mins
- Detroit: 2 hrs 45 mins
- Columbus: 4 hours 30 mins
- Cleveland: 4 hours 30 mins
- Cincinnati: 5 hours 15 mins

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.
