What's your favorite travel destination in the Spring? 🌷I love this time of year for seeking out places that usually would be too warm in the summer (tropical destinations like Mexico & Hawaii), and for places that have seasonal flowers such as tulips that bloom in the Spring (like Amsterdam), or cherry blossoms (like Japan)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This shot was actually taken in Rhode Island at , which is opening again in 6-7 weeks! 🌷🌷🌷⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Does your travel revolve around the seasons at all?

HAPPY ST PATTY'S DAY FROM IRELAND! 🍀Do you get excited about St. Patrick's Day too? I'm not sure if it's because it's near my birthday, or because my family is from Ireland, or because I like Guinness, but it's always just felt like a really fun holiday to me!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A friend said it's because there are never any expectations around this day, only celebration, and I think that's such a true point!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. I'm actually still in Boston & not Ireland (sadly), but have been reminiscing on our past Ireland trip a lot today! Have you been going down memory lane with any travel shots in quarantine?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In honor of International Women's Day, let's talk about the women who helped make travel a part of our lives! ❤️My mom was a teacher, which mean she had summers off & was able to take me to Tulum or Hawaii each summer growing up! This instilled in me an ongoing sense of adventure and seeing a way of life different from my own.🌴⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

What women helped shaped your travel horizons? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever visited a place that forced you to imagine yourself in another era? That's exactly how I felt in Venice, Italy! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With the Venetian hotel decor, the gondolas, winding streets and bridges connecting hundreds of canals, I couldn't help but think of what life must have been like here centuries ago. The sheer history of Europe is mind boggling and it's one of my favorite parts of traveling there! Have you ever experienced this?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Merry Christmas to all who celebrate! 🎄Have you ever been to Ireland over the holidays? We got to go last year, and it seems every town goes all out with lights and decorations! I hope to be able to go back soon now that my Irish passport is renewed! 🌟⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Who else is missing home for the holidays this year? 🎄 I'm bummed I won't be able to travel home back to San Francisco this season, but I'm focusing on being grateful for the health of my family and friends! How are you spending the holidays?🌟

Have you ever slept in a treehouse? 🌴🌙 treehouse resort in Tulum is one of the most unique places I ever stayed! They do have 2 outlets for phone chargers in the room and a fan on the ceiling, but other than that there's not much electricity! 🕯⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Candles are lit in your room at night, which is so peaceful & helps you get your circadian rhythm back to it's natural state within a day or so (even for a night owl like me)!🦉⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever walked across the Brooklyn Bridge?🗽 I went to NYC to for a conference & influencer collaboration, and we carved out time to wake up at 5am one day to walk across the bridge without all the tourists. It happened to be a nice sunny day in New York and it was SO worth the early wake up time!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Would you wake up early in the city that never sleeps?

05/12/2020

Have you ever booked a solo trip? I took a trip back home to the West Coast (pre-covid), and visited SF, LA, and Reno. I was able to visit with friends in each city, but it was also really nice to have some alone time at the airport and in hotels like the luxurious . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My room even had a mirror in the middle that turned into a TV & could swivel to face either the couch or bed area! I need to find the video for that one in my camera roll somewhere 😂⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What solo trips have you taken?

Do you love to see color on your travels or more into neutral architecture? One of my favorite parts of exploring the streets of Venice is all of their super bright colors! Their buildings and canals have so much personality, it’s something you’ll never forget!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⛰Fun facts about St. Lucia's Pitons!⛰ We were lucky enough to take a boat out for a day, adventuring and snorkeling around the Pitons (Gros Piton & Petit Piton). 🛥 Here are some of my favorite facts about these impressive mountains ⤵️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌋They are volcanic plugs, created when magma hardens within a vent on an active volcano. Over time, wind, rain and sea erode the outer material, leaving only the tough inner core.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰ Oprah Winfrey is a big fan, once declaring the Pitons one of her top five places to see before you die.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰The Pitons were worshipped as gods by the Arawaks, early inhabitants of St Lucia. Petit Piton was referred to as Atebyra and represented their god of fertility and food, whereas Gros Piton, referred to as Yokahu, represented their god of fire, thunder and rain, according to the Soufriere Foundation.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐠Offshore, the Pitons are home to diverse marine life, including healthy coral reefs. Surveys have found more than 160 types of fish and dozens of types of other sea creatures including corals, mollusks and sponges. Hawksbill turtles are seen inshore, and whale sharks and pilot whales offshore.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰They are not the island’s highest peaks – that honor goes to Mount Gimie.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰They are extremely old – experts believe they were formed between 200,000 and 300,000 years ago during a period of intense volcanic activity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⛰The Pitons are a UNESCO World Heritage Site⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you visited the Grand Pitons on St. Lucia?

🌟What travels are you most grateful for?🌟 2020 has really emphasized how each trip is a gift, and the importance of not taking anything for granted. While my travel bucket list has grown exponentially this year, I'm also taking stock in recognizing past favorite travels:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☘️Ireland: Road tripping from Dublin to Sligo, then up to Northern Ireland felt like a second home!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Tulum, Mexico: Swimming in their underground cenotes & visiting Chichen Itza brought me back to childhood trips here!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🎠Venice, Italy: Visiting the floating city is like something out of a fairy tale!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊Los Angeles, CA: Taking a trip back to sunny California, the beach, and seeing college friends is always fun & something I can't wait to do again!

✈️ HOW TO SATISFY THE TRAVEL BUG AT HOME ✈️ I don't know about you, but I don't feel comfortable flying or traveling internationally until pandemic numbers are under control or there's a vaccine, etc. Because of that, my travel bucket list continues to grow at an alarming rate! 😂 Here are some ways to satisfy your wanderlust while social distancing:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Plan out your next trips - You don't have to book them just yet, but you can still decide where your next trips will be!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Bring travel to you - Have themed travel nights for your favorite destinations! You can dress up like that destination, cook their recipes, put on music of the region, and get creative!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Research cities, countries, and hotels that are offering discounts. These most likely will still have discounts once it's safer to travel.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Go through past travels - I've been having fun looking over past travel photos and remembering those trips, like this trip to St. Lucia at !⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Recycle travel content - Use this time to catch up on your content! You can create travel guides, hotel reviews, & cross-promote on different platforms to get the most out of the trips you've already taken.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✈️Staycation - We took a staycation with on Cape Cod, and it was fun to explore our backyard a bit without hopping on a plane.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you getting through the travel bug this year?

🌸Have you ever been to Cape Cod?🌸 We got to visit with and had the best time exploring Provincetown! Here are some fun facts about the Cape:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊It's about a 1.5 hour drive south of Boston in Massachusetts. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊Provincetown on the Cape used to be a pirate island town until they *floated* their houses over to the mainland to settle here!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊No county in the country Has More Lighthouses than Cape Cod (x14)!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊Most people visit in the summer from Boston⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊Sand dunes cover most shores on the Cape. It's a very nautical theme here!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌊Martha's Vineyard on the Cape has 318 colorful "gingerbread houses" which are real life-sized houses that look like they're out of a fairy tale!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Would you visit Cape Cod?

🌟HOW TO STAY POSITIVE🌟2020 has made us all realize the importance of staying positive and mental health! We took a staycation in Provincetown, MA on Cape Cod and it made all the difference to get out of the city and regain some perspective on what's important! 🌊⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Have you ever taken a trip that had the WORST weather? ☔️ Our Ireland trip happened to be storming & raining the majority of our time there! I guess that's not too unusual for the Emerald Isle, and we really made the best of it anyway!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The storms didn't stop us from exploring castles like this one (which was the House of Greyjoy in Game of Thrones), go horseback riding, and explore Northern Ireland too! ☘️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you ever encountered bad weather on a trip? What did you do to make the most of your stay?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🌴YOUR FAVORITE PLACE 🌴Is there a destination you keep going back to, or do you only travel to new places? For me, Tulum is my vacation happy place.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I grew up going here in the summers so I have childhood nostalgia here, the people here are so friendly, and you have a combination of the beach, the jungle, cenotes (natural underground pools), and ancient pyramids.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you have a favorite destination that you keep returning to?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
P.S. I'm so glad you're enjoying the Sunday "This or That" I posted in my stories! Take a look if you haven't already and I'll be sure to post more in the future since I really love hearing your answers!

🌴HOW TO DESTRESS DURING ELECTION SEASON🌴This year has been a nonstop rollercoaster, who's with me?? 🎢 Of course it's ending with a bang with this nail-biter of an election! So many people including myself (not even just in the U.S. but around the world), are feeling the stress & anxiety, so I thought I'd share a few tips & remind myself as well!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Take breaks from the news - schedule time in your day to check for updates, but refreshing it every 5 minutes keeps you in a perpetual state of adrenaline which = stress!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Take breaks from screens - read a book, get creative with a puzzle, cook something delicious (& healthy)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Get moving - taking a walk or doing a quick online workout or stretch can make all the difference and give your mind a much needed rest⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Call a friend (especially your funny friends) - This will give you something else to think about and let your thoughts out too!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌴Practice self care - whatever else that means to you. Maybe it's a bubble bath, looking back at travel photos, playing with the dog, or doing some yoga!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How are you coping this week?
