Day 2 in Rome and I’m still not over how beautiful this city is. The Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps were definitely my favorites. Seeing them in person felt like a dream come true! I walked all the way to the top of the Spanish Steps, and every view looked like a painting, especially since there are flowers everywhere.

We also went through the Pantheon, which was interesting, too.

I can’t stop thinking about the architecture here. It’s wild to see buildings that are hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of years old, covered in incredible detail and history… and then realize one of them is literally a mall now!

Rome is such a fascinating mix of ancient beauty and everyday life, and I absolutely loved every second of it.

OH and the fountains are real! Water in Italy is fantastic, don't bother buying bottled water, just bring a refillable one!

Rome was one of those places that somehow feels massive and intimate at the same time.

One minute you’re laughing over seafood spaghetti at dinner, and the next you’re standing in front of buildings and ruins that have existed for nearly 2,000 years. It honestly didn’t feel real sometimes.

Seeing the Colosseum in person, especially knowing how much my husband wanted to experience it, was something I’ll never forget. Pictures are incredible, but standing there in real life gives you a whole different appreciation for the history, the architecture, and the people who built it all those centuries ago.

Also… still thinking about that pasta.....

Being an adult isn’t always fun or easy… but sometimes it looks like trading anniversary dinners for anniversary trips. ❤️

24 years together, and I still can’t believe we get to live this life side by side. The older I get, the more I realize the best things aren’t stuff, they’re the memories we make, the places we explore, the laughs in unfamiliar streets, and the quiet moments we’ll talk about for years to come.

There was a time I never thought experiences like this would be possible. Now here we are, celebrating 24 years in Italy, soaking it all in together. That’s my favorite part of every adventure. This is my favorite part!

These are some pictures I took in Vicenza. My nephew and I went for a walk through their neighborhood, and I couldn’t stop noticing how different it feels from a typical neighborhood back home in the US. Flowers everywhere — especially my favorite, roses — planted right where you can see them, touch them, and stop to smell them. The fences are more like beautiful walls surrounding the entire property instead of just the backyard.

It was absolutely lovely. Not grand and majestic like Rome, but quiet, charming, and full of little details that make you slow down and appreciate where you are. Definitely a place worth visiting. 🌹

Our first full day in Italy was all about slowing down and recovering from travel. We spent most of the day with my sister-in-law and her family, then ended it with an absolutely delicious dinner. 🍝

We rented a car, and at first Jay was NOT a fan! Narrow roads, unfamiliar roundabouts, unpredictable Italian drivers (and pedestrians 😅) had him stressed. But he did amazing, and by the end of the trip he was driving like a pro.

These views are from the top of a hill in Vicenza. The weather wasn’t exactly picture-perfect, but honestly, it was still so beautiful.

Also… every single thing I ate was gluten free AND delicious. Italy seriously puts the US to shame when it comes to gluten free food. There’s no reason GF food has to be bland or terrible! 😋

I love trips with Exoticca. I love how thoughtfully their itineraries are designed. You get the perfect balance of guided touring and free time to explore on your own. You can see the highlights and still have those spontaneous travel moments.

Trips include small groups, carefully vetted accommodations, airfare, transportation, and usually at least one meal each day.

If Peru is on your bucket list, I can help you get there!
Packages start at just $949 per person for 7 days, with trips up to 29 days available! YES that includes airfare!

Let me introduce you to Madeira, Portugal. Often called the “Hawaii of Europe," think the volcanic beauty of Maui, tropical vibes, black lava rock pools, waterfall views, and jaw dropping scenery around every turn… but starting at just $1,099 per person INCLUDING airfare.

Yes. My jaw dropped too.

This is an 8 day escape to stunning Madeira, Portugal’s island paradise. And it’s packed with incredible experiences:
🍷 A visit to the iconic Madeira Wine Company (hello wine tasting!)
A west side tour to the natural volcanic lava pools of Porto Moniz, nature’s infinity pools carved from black lava rock
An east side tour to beautiful Santana, known for its colorful, storybook cottages.
Plus, breakfast is included daily

8 days to explore, or relax, or just soak in island life! You’ll get the cliffside ocean views, the rugged volcanic landscape, the lush tropical gardens, the adventurous island energy (or total relaxation, whichever you prefer).
But instead of the $4-6,000 for Hawaii, this is all for less than half that!

If Hawaii has been on your bucket list, but your budget said “maybe later," this is your moment.

9 Days in Europe for under $2000? Yes! including the flight!

Stop dreaming about the "someday" trip and start packing. This is the ultimate 9 day traverse from the lights of Paris to the sun-drenched plazas of Madrid. All starting at an unbelievable $1,849 per person, including airfare.

This is a high end experience on a smart budget.
Most people spend this much just on airfare and a hotel in one city. You’re getting a curated journey through the best of France and Spain.

Paris: Wake up in the City of Light. Iconic views, hidden cafes, and that unmistakable energy.

Bordeaux: Sip world-class reds in the "Wine Capital" and wander through stunning 18th century architecture.

Bilbao: Home of the iconic Guggenheim Museum, and a stunning mix of ultra-modern architecture and old world Basque charm.

San Sebastián: This is where the mountains meet the Atlantic. Catch the legendary Basque waves and dive into the world’s best "pintxos" (tapas) scene.

Madrid: End your journey in Spain’s vibrant capital. From the Royal Palace to late-night churros, Madrid is pure magic.

At roughly $205 per day, you’re getting transportation, accommodations, and a hand-crafted itinerary that hits the "bucket list" spots and the hidden coastal gems.

Space is limited at this rate. Comment INFO or DM me for more information!
