Cloud Forests & Hot Springs in Costa Rica

Epic Hikes in the Snowy Range, Wyoming

Laramie is nestled in a high elevation valley with mountains on multiple sides.  It makes it a perfect jumping off location for outdoor adventure and days spent exploring the surrounding trails.

Epic Universe Theme Park Review

I was invited to go to Epic Universe, Universal Studios’ new theme park in Orlando, Florida before it was officially opened to the public. Hope this can be a resource for planning your own trip to this new park!

Travel to Komodo Island, Indonesia Itinerary

The best part of a trip to Indonesia is a day trip to Komodo Island. It’s a well-known and popular destination with many ways to visit.

Visiting Northern Thailand Itinerary

We had a phenomenal time in Southeast Asia on our last trip. The variety of cultures, religion, and melting of ethnicities, transported us to a world so foreign from our own. From countries on the southern tip of the Asia continent, to the endless island nations, each country is unique from its neighbors. In some countries, it varies greatly from island to island, and even region to region just a few hours drive away.

One Week on the Edge of Europe & Asia – Discover Turkiye

Where in the world can you find a place that resides in two continents? That destination is Turkiye. While this country may be unexpected for some and “out there” for others – we hope this itinerary will shed light on the magic, beauty, and kindness of the people in Turkiye and why it should be on your bucket list if it isn’t yet!

That can really rack up a total trip cost when you add those to your plans (and most of cannot afford this kind of travel budget!).
