India has been at the top of our list forever. Last year Jacob was invited on a fairly last minute work trip that happened to fall over Holi Festival in India. I was a bit more apprehensive of going last minute as I knew it would be tough to navigate (I’m always the planner when it comes to our travels!)….
Read the PostI last left off on day 5 of our adventure with Polarquest, navigating ice floats to see an incredible glacier front called Bråsvellbreen. This trip was otherworldly and our experiences varied so much day by day. I have so many photos to share that I had to make this a two part blog post. Here is part 1 of our…
Read the PostVisiting ancient temples in Siem Reap truly feels like stepping into another world. Angkor Wat is the largest religious monument in the world, and the most ancient. It’s an incredible, sprawling complex of temples located in Cambodia, dating back to the 12th century (aptly named Angkor Wat, “City of Temples” in Khmer). Though well preserved, it’s not uncommon to be…

Svalbard is a Norwegian archipelago of islands located north of the mainland, a 2 hour flight from Tromso.

At the time, we had no idea this was the start to an…

Hotel Website | Link to Book Like most of our trips these days, our time in Norway was planned very last minute. When we found out we would be making our way to Svalbard, I hopped online to see…
Read the Post Our first time in India was one of the most hectic, wonderful, and awe-inspiring experiences. We caught the sunrise from the top of Delhi’s old spice market; experienced Holi festival in the birthplace of Hindu god Lord Krishna; managed to be the first ones to enter the gates of the Taj Mahal at 5am; narrowly missed cows, monkeys and…
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 PostTrue to the way we travel, I really wanted our first trip to India to be a balance of must-see sights and unique experiences. That’s why when I stumbled upon a safari property in India’s Bandhavgarh’s National Park – Samode Safari Lodge – I immediately wanted to tack it on the end of our journey. At first, I wasn’t sure…
