Summer is right around the corner and it seems the Greek Islands are on everyone’s radar! One of the most common questions I’m receiving lately is how to choose which Greek Island to visit.

Between the unforgettable beaches (if you haven’t seen photos of the ‘moonscapes’ of Sarakiniko Beach, check them out ASAP), delicious fresh seafood, and quaint and uncrowded downtowns, it’s truly a slice of paradise.

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 PostSantorini is one of the most breathtaking places I’ve ever visited. The island itself is a caldera (volcanic crater), and the half moon shape of the island makes for some amazing photos!
