Porto was my wildest dream and worst nightmare. It’s my wildest dream because of it’s shear beauty – with unbelievable views from every street top, ruined buildings, vibrant azujelos (tiles), and bold, bright, fun colors – every second I felt like I was in an old magical movie. There is gorgeous street art everywhere you […]

A few weeks before Valentine’s Day we decided to head down to the city of love to celebrate the weekend. Ended up the train tickets we way too expensive, so we rented a car and drove down (which was surprisingly way cheaper than the train). The five hour drive flew by (although I’m sure Jack, […]

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything personal, and I recently realized that’s beacuse my photography blog hasn’t been a true reflection of my personality. I’ve tended to just post photographs and features, creating a boring (albeit, beautiful) space just used to release new content. This is mainly due to the fact that I […]

One of the main reasons we headed to southern Swizterland was so that we could go to Lake Como for the day. It was a quick 45 minute drive from were we were staying in Luggano and was beyond anything that I could have imagined. I pictured of a small little lake with sprawling estates […]

In November we went down to Belgium for a weekend because Jack had a conference. Gent was a really fun city with lots to explore (although it was a little hard to figure out with it’s misleading streets and confusing layout) but it was great to see a new place. On our last day I hopped […]

After a solid start to our Scotland sojourn, we set off for the Isle of Skye. We figured the drive from Glencoe to Skye would only take a couple hours but that was before we realized what we would be passing along the way. The farther north we went the more otherworldly this place became. […]

“You have to go to Scotland in the Fall!” That was the advice that we received a few months ago from a friendly Scottish woman that we had just met in a cafe in Chamonix. This was one of those cafes where the tables are so close together that you cannot help but overhear the conversation of […]

I feel like most blog posts and trip reports gloss over the imperfections or mishaps to tell a story that is almost too good to be true. In the case of our adventure on the Isle of Skye, it was the imperfections and mishaps that made our experience so memorable and actually made the place […]

When we were planning our move to the Netherlands we knew we wanted to travel a bit before Jack started his program in September. Jack’s a big fan of big mountains and the outdoors, and I love all things pretty cities and landscapes, so we decided that Swizterland would be the perfect place to spend a […]

Our last stop of the trip was just north of Lake Geneva in Greyer. We randomly choose Greyer because we like cheese and needed a place to stay on the last night, and it ended up being the perfect quaint little swiss town to wrap up our trip. Perched on the top of a hill […]

The end of our Switzerland trip took us around Lake Geneva, and I’m so happy we took this long route because the scenery was stunning. Sunflower fields, apple orchards and lake side villages for all far as the eye could see. I wish we had a few more days to explore (we didn’t have the energy […]

  The fall in Holland is beautiful. The leaves have turned a gorgeous mix of yellow and red, and the air is crisp and beautiful. It’s usually grey, with bouts of clear, dazzling blue skies, then thunderous rain storms that sweep through the country side to start the day afresh. It’s the perfect excuse to […]
