I went on a spontaneous, short trip to Portugal for my birthday last fall, and out of the 23 countries I’ve visited so far, it’s honestly one of the prettiest countries I’ve been to. Portugal is easy to travel to, especially if you’re on the east coast of the United States, and is one of…

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.

So with that in mind,…
