I last left off on day 5 of our adventure with Polarquest, navigating ice floats to see an incredible glacier front called Bråsvellbreen. This trip was otherworldly and our experiences varied so much day by day. I have so many photos to share that I had to make this a two part blog post. Here is part 1 of our…
Read the PostI recently made a goal for myself to explore more of the U.S. this year. Though I grew up on the west coast of California, most of the traveling I did at a young age was to Europe (both my parents are first-generation European, so most of our family is abroad).

We caught the sunrise from the top of Delhi’s old spice market; experienced Holi festival in the birthplace of Hindu god Lord Krishna; managed to be the first ones to enter the gates of the Taj Mahal at 5am; narrowly missed cows, monkeys and…
Read the PostUpdated July 2026 Earlier this year, my good friend Barbie and I were discussing our upcoming travels plans and Vietnam came up. Her family and a few friends had gone recently and talked it up, and now it was at the top of her list. Vietnam isn’t the first country that comes to mind for a ‘girls trip’, but I…
Read the PostTrue to the way we travel, I really wanted our first trip to India to be a balance of must-see sights and unique experiences. That’s why when I stumbled upon a safari property in India’s Bandhavgarh’s National Park – Samode Safari Lodge – I immediately wanted to tack it on the end of our journey. At first, I wasn’t sure…
Read the PostAt the start of 2019, Jacob and I made a list of the destinations we want to visit this year. India made the top, as we’ve been intrigued to go for the longest.
