I just got back from Portugal! I went with my parents for a 9 day trip around the country and had a blast. The weather ended up being a little cooler than anticipated, but besides that, it was glorious. I am so thankful for breaks away from work and experiencing new places. We took an

After visiting both Iceland and England, we headed to Ireland! The very first night we got there we met up with some friends from Richmond who had moved there. I was so excited to see them again! It’s always nice to have friends in other countries and reuniting again was really special. We had dinner to

The next spot on our trip after Iceland was London, England! I hadn’t been back to London since 2009 when I lead a trip of high school students there. The last time I went we stayed in a dodgy part of the city and had a long commute in to see anything of interest. This time, we

I went to Iceland last year and loved it so much, I had to go back. Iceland Air had a great deal, when you fly to Europe, you can stop-over in Iceland for up to a week for free! I 100% took advantage of the deal to explore this beautiful country again. This time, however,

My boyfriend has landed in NYC. He will be getting his full-time residence there later this year, but for now, he is stationed in temporary housing. For the week of the Fourth of July, I went to visit him and spend some time hanging in the city. I worked from home every day that week

Gah! I am so excited to blog this. I have wanted to go to Iceland for a while. When I saw low ticket prices pop up in March, I called my friend Kaitlyn who was totally on board and we jumped on them fast. We booked an Airbnb the next month, and the car the

My company got a new office in Charleston South Carolina. I went down to visit and meet some of my new coworkers over labor day weekend. Of course, a hurricane hit and the office closed, but the day after was gorgeous so I still got to explore the city. In the morning, I wandered around

The second week we were in Canada, we went to Prince Edward Island. When we crossed over, our first stop was for lunch and Cow’s Ice cream! I just love Cows. It’s such the touristy place to go, but to me its represents years of gifts from my grandmother and saving my money while on vacation

I grew up going to Canada in the summers with my family. It’s part of why I love summer as much as I do. We got to escape the Virginia heat to head to the beautiful Eastern shore of New Brunswick. The town we live in is called Alma, and it is right next to
