I 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). So, when the team at Experience Kissimmee invited us…
Read the PostOutfit details: Faithfull White Linen Pants; Anthropologie Ruffled Top; white cableknit sweater (similar here); Matisse boots. I’ve been getting more into style lately. Maybe it’s because we’re in New York, or maybe it’s because I’m still without many clothes (most of our belongings are in storage in Amsterdam!). Whatever the reason, I was inspired to bring this off-the-shoulder white top and…
Read the PostStay details: Vermont Treehouse Airbnb in Hardwick, Vermont. A 5.5 hr drive from New York City. I’ve been craving snow more than ever this year. Since living in Amsterdam, I’ve been more aware of how experiencing a new city can be so different depending on the time of year. Some of my favorite trips in the past couple years of…
Read the PostOf all the Hawaiian islands, Kauai is by far my favorite. It boasts incredible mountain landscapes, crystal-clear water, quaint restaurants, and beautiful waterfalls. The locals are friendly and tourists don’t seem to linger around on the beaches as much as on Maui or the Big Island, which makes it seem a bit more untouched.

Read the PostLast week we headed to Aruba for some sun and fun before the start of Fall. The Aruba Tourism board contacted us to visit, and we jumped at the chance to finally see Aruba! We’d heard great things about the island while living in Amsterdam, since Aruba is actually part of the Netherlands. We rented a Jeep for the week…
Read the PostThere’s nothing like the feeling of flying into a destination with clear blue water on all sides. This trip was a long time coming — though Jacob and I lived in the U.S. most of our lives, we never made it to The Bahamas. Now we can’t imagine why! It’s a short flight away and a welcome slice of paradise….
Read the PostIf you read my post from earlier this month, you know this year was a big one for us. It’s also one of those years that completely flew by! Though our home base is now in Amsterdam, we spent most of 2017 traveling. Some of the places we visited were completely new to us (Romania, Canary Islands, Dominican Republic), and…
Read the PostIt’s been a little over a year since my last life update about our travels after leaving Los Angeles last year, to travel and move to Europe. And I’ll be honest — there’s been some changes! We’ve had more and more people reach out to us lately about how we did it and how we can afford to keep traveling.
Read the PostThere are some destinations you can visit over and over again, and Hanalei Bay in Kauai, Hawaii is one of those places. Jacob and I have gotten in the habit of flying out there at least twice a year to relax on the pristine beaches of the North Shore and enjoy the island life. Hanalei holds a special place in our hearts —…
