Things To Do in Newmarket, New Hampshire
I’m usually focused on what my next adventure away is going to be. But even though the world has opened up a lot more the past several months, the staycation still has its appeal.

My Big Fat Greek Vacation: Highlights of Athens, Mykonos, & Santorini
It had been a year since I traveled internationally and I was definitely craving a change in pace and to submerge myself in another culture. After getting COVID-19 this past spring (and yes I know this is a bad reason) and with travel restrictions being lifted in both Europe and the US, I knew I…

How to Spend 4 Days in Northern New Zealand
I can’t believe it’s already been four years since I visited this amazing island country in Oceania.

Visiting Virginia and the Outer Banks, North Carolina
My husband and I were recently invited to a “destination wedding” in Cape Hatteras in the Outer Banks. Just getting to the Outer Banks, a region in North Carolina comprised of islands out in the Atlantic, takes some logistical planning. Cape Hatteras is 2.5 hours away from the nearest airport. So with that in mind,…
