Hallstatt, Austria – Seehotel Gruner Baum A beautiful lakeside hotel with jaw-dropping views of Hallstatt town, set amongst a picture perfect Austrian landscape. Last month I took my first trip to the postcard perfect town of Hallstatt, Austria. I’d been wanting to visit for a couple years now ever since seeing a photo of its idyllic wood houses perched on…
Read the PostHallstatt, Austria is every bit as dreamy as it’s made out to be. Picture stunning mountain ranges, crisp blue skies, and a postcard-worthy European town with a chapel, all on the water. You can walk the whole town in less than 20 minutes, but every street and view is just as picturesque as the last. We opted for winter in…
Read the PostIf you haven’t heard of Cesky Krumlov, I’m not surprised. Though it’s one of the world’s best-preserved medieval cities and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it rarely makes the top of European city lists. While most visit Cesky Krumlov from Prague on a day trip, it deserves so much more attention than a quick stopover. When my good friend Barbie…

This recent trip was an all girls trip, organized by Small Luxury Hotels in partnership with Norwegian Air. I’ve loved Small…
Read the PostEarlier 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 agreed that we…
Read the PostLast week Jacob and I traveled to Tulum, Mexico to attend a friend’s wedding. We had the dates for this trip blocked off on our calendar forever, so I’ve been eager to see Tulum in person. The area has gained popularity in recent years, attracting beautiful boutique hotels, well-known restauranteurs, and lots of visitors. I had high expectations! We flew…
Read the PostSintra is an easy day trip from Lisbon and neighboring towns like Cascais. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, filled with castles, palaces, and beautiful views of the surrounding area. I’ve visited the region twice now and still have the urge to go back and explore. If you’re planning a trip to Portugal, visiting Sintra is a must! Here’s everything…
