This 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…

Read the PostThis is the first time in months that Jacob and I have gone on a trip with no intention of working.

It’s a beautiful area that is completely transformed into a winter wonderland this time of year! Lately our travels have been more focused on cities and architecture, so there…
Read the PostKyoto is a beautiful mix of old and new. It’s one of those cities you can walk for hours and stumble upon something straight out of a magazine when you turn a corner.

Read the PostI knew Barcelona would be unique based on what I knew of Antoni Gaudí’s architecture, but I didn’t anticipate how much I would fall in love with it.
