Valencia, Spain: Top 10 Things to Do

Valencia is a gorgeous Mediterranean city on the east coast of Spain. It's not typically a common stop in the country however, with most travelers opting to visit nearby Barcelona instead. For anyone who makes the great decision to visit this city though- it certainly won't disappoint! Check my curated list for the best Valencia things to do! I'll admit- I'm a little bit obsessed. After studying abroad there, spending a year living there, (and…

Underrated travel activity: Going to historic ceme Underrated travel activity: Going to historic cemeteries! Strange? Probably. 🤷🏻‍♀️ But it’s like a free walking history tour at an outdoor sculpture museum! 

Ok maybe it’s weird, but hear me out- if you love history, or are really into ancestry research like me then they are so fascinating! Reading those old epitaphs- gotta love it 🪦. 

I feel like you learn a lot from reading the old graves, and it really drives home what hard lives people had before modern medicine. 😞 It also makes me really appreciate what our ancestors went through so we could be where we are today. 

Plus…my toddler is obsessed with going to them now so he can look for ghosts 👻 😂

Anyone else love a good cemetery walk? 👇🏼

Y’all gotta stop hating on Cincinnati! 🇺🇸 Y’all gotta stop hating on Cincinnati! 🇺🇸 Just like anywhere it’s not perfect, but it’s actually a pretty great city and I feel very fortunate to have been born and raised in this area (technically I’m a northern Kentucky girl but you know how it goes 💁🏻‍♀️)! 

If you have any questions about the locations in this video just let me know! ⬇️

Excited to welcome baby Leo to the crew! 🎉 If y Excited to welcome baby Leo to the crew! 🎉 If you’ve been following along for a while you already know what I usually post- but if you’re new, here’s what to expect! (🩵 Also just to clarify, this is not becoming exclusively a “mom account”- I still want my posts to be relevant to travel lovers without kids too! 🩵)

⭐️ Posts about specific locations I’ve traveled to and things to do or see there (lately sharing my backlog of Scotland and Wales content!)

⭐️Tips for making family travel, toddler travel, and travel with a baby go smoothly (although I’m by no means an expert 😅), and sharing some great baby travel products

⭐️ Budget travel tips, “hacks”, and general advice on ways to make travel as attainable and affordable as can be. I like to share useful apps, and specific tactics I’ve used over the years

⭐️ Local content! I’ll be sharing some of my favorite things to do in Cincinnati and Kentucky (& nearby!) since I’m based here and inevitably can’t travel quite as much this year with a 👶 newborn. 

If you read all this, comment with the 🦥 sloth emoji and then I’ll know who my truest fans are 😜

We wanted to try out something new, and so renting We wanted to try out something new, and so renting a pool by the hour with @swimply was a great idea! 🏊‍♂️ It basically works like AirBNB where local pool owners can choose to rent out their backyards, pools, and/or hot tubs. 🏝️ Most places allow bigger groups too, so if a bunch of friends went in on it, it’s not a bad price at all!

There aren’t too many listings for my area, 😅 but bigger cities of course have loads more. Either way this was still really fun and I’d definitely recommend it as a way to beat the heat this summer! ☀️ 

👉👉To get $100 towards your first rental, go to the referral link in my bio! 

(PS the pools I did the screen record of are located in NYC)

If you are a fellow fan though, I’m sure you get me 😂 My poor husband was such a good sport, although he definitely thinks I’m crazy now (if he didn’t already)! 

PS this was filmed at the ancient Standing Stones of Stenness on the island of Orkney in northern Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿! Also the intro shot is of the stones at the Ring of Brodgar. Make sure to check out my “Scotland 2022” story highlights on my page for more details!

Did I trick you? 😜 Wales definitely felt like Did I trick you? 😜

Wales definitely felt like a “hidden gem” as a travel destination- 💎 at least as someone from the US! I don’t think I’ve met more than 2 or 3 people who have ever been! 

Most of the places we went were not crowded at all, and everything was so peaceful and beautiful 😍 

Is Wales on your radar? 🐳 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hidden gem 💎! East Fork Lake is only about a 40 Hidden gem 💎! East Fork Lake is only about a 40 minute drive from downtown Cincinnati. It has a nice sandy beach, 🏖️ and if you bring your chairs, cooler and umbrella you can mentally feel like you’re in Florida! 

Seagulls 🐦 even included (I honestly had no idea they existed in Ohio until recently 😂)! 

We “discovered” this place when all the pools were closed during Covid, 🏊‍♀️ and now we love going as often as we can.

Looking for other sandy beaches in the area? Check out a full list at the link in my bio! 🏝️
