Know before your Switzerland Road Trip Driving in Switzerland Driving in Switzerland is relatively straightforward. The roads are very well kept and it’s fairly easy to navigate.

Where to Stay in Paris: La Maison Favart

November 9, 2021 No Comments

Ah, Paris. There’s something incredibly magical about this city. No matter how many times I visit, I fall in love with it all over again. With the charm and appeal of the various arrondissements (districts of Paris), it can be hard to narrow down where to stay in Paris. Luckily, I stumbled upon La Maison Favart, located in the 2nd arr. and it was the perfect home base from which to explore the city. (I was welcomed as a guest at La Maison Favart. As always, all opinions are my own) Where to Stay in Paris Why Stay in the 2nd Arrondissement?

Why Visit Glasgow? Here’s 6 Reasons

October 30, 2021 No Comments

I’ll be honest, Glasgow was not a destination I had on my radar before my trip with Visit Britain. My knowledge of Scotland is made up of Outlander (hello Jamie why didn’t I find you in Scotland?) and stories of friends’ trips. After spending four days in Glasgow, I truly didn’t want to leave. Here are 6 reasons why you should visit Glasgow. (This blog post is in collaboration with Visit Britain, Impact Travel Alliance, and Fora. As always, all opinions are my own.) Why Visit Glasgow? People Make Glasgow You’ll see signs all around the city claiming that people make Glasgow, and it couldn’t be more true. Not only are the people some of the friendliest but also, they are advocates for climate policy, the homeless populations, and the BLM movement. Their passion for driving change is infectious and you’ll find yourself wanting to learn everyone’s story. Less crowded…

Okay, enough about me. Here’s 7 destinations to add to your travel bucket list! Bucket List Destinations Dahab, Egypt This may honestly be one of my favorite places that I’ve ever been to. Dahab is not like the rest of Egypt. Once you get your fill of centuries old history, head to sea-side Dahab for a more relaxed, chill vibe. Everyone is very nice and friendly, the town is adorable, and the diving/snorkeling is out of this world. Ronda, Spain Located just an hour and a half from Seville, Ronda is a mountaintop city with jaw-dropping views. It’s steeped in history and is the perfect place to wander around. Be sure to see the…
