Take the Quiz →Welina Terrace at the 1Hotel Hanalei Bay The food scene in Kauai is delightful and varied: think casual side-of-the-road lunch stops, fresh Hawaiian poké, and curated menus with locally sourced ingredients. For me it’s almost nostalgic (we spend every winter in Kauai, and I rarely add new spots to my go-to list), as the island feels stuck in time in…
Read the PostLeft: Surfers as seen from the pier at Hanalei Bay, Right: Ohi Ohi market. I’ve stayed in Kauai every month of the year and now return annually around the holidays. While it’s known for being one of the rainiest places on earth, that statistic is misleading: the rain falls primarily on the Na Pali mountain range, an inaccessible area that…
Read the PostOver the last few years of living in New England, I’ve been fortunate enough to experience New England’s fall foliage in a number of different ways. It’s my favorite time of year here; the mornings are crisp but the days are still warm, the leaves are changing color by the day, and everyone is outdoors with a sweater and warm…

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…

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…

So, when I posted on our Instagram stories during our trip to Tulum, I received a lot of DM’s about…
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…
