Amsterdam in winter is a true treat. The streets are quieter, the city is sleepier, and there’s a general ‘merry’ atmosphere around December. Oftentimes you’ll wake up to a foggy morning, or if you’re lucky, a light snowfall. On even rarer occasions the Amsterdam canals freeze over and you can go ice skating on them, something I was fortunate enough…
Read the PostPARIS, FRANCE – LE ROYAL MONCEAU Hotel Website | Link to Book I’ve been to Paris a number of times, but something about this trip made it feel like a completely new city. Jacob and I were invited by Le Royal Monceau — Raffles Paris to spend Valentine’s Day weekend in Paris, a dream stay. Le Royal Monceau is a…
Read the PostIndia has been at the top of our list forever. Last year Jacob was invited on a fairly last minute work trip that happened to fall over Holi Festival in India.

Whatever the reason, I was inspired to bring this off-the-shoulder white top and…

Read the PostAs some of you know, Jacob and I announced in July that we were leaving Amsterdam to travel full-time. For the past few months we’ve been traveling more often than we were home. Being present when we returned to our home base in Amsterdam was hard. It was a logical move to give the full-time travel lifestyle a shot. After…
Read the PostThis year, we took more winter trips than ever before. I finally feel like I can sum up what makes the perfect winter getaway…and where to go for some of the dreamiest snowy destinations in Europe! Jacob and I both agree that our favorite destinations from our travels were Lapland, Finland (it’s unlike anywhere we’ve been before) and Lech, Austria…
