bars and restaurants in Vienna When you spend two weeks somewhere, you figured out what your favorite places to eat and you tend to frequent them. Our hotel was right next to Santos, so I probably ate there more than two hands worth in my time in Vienna. I like to think they knew me well before I left. Another place I loved to drink at was 1516. I went on a few tinder dates there actually, and even ran into my cousin there on the 4th of July. So without further ado, here are my six favorite restaurants in…
I’m so excited! Tomorrow, it is time to fly to Scotland with my boyfriend, Jordan. This has been a long awaited trip and I’m so excited to finally be going back to Europe. I’ll be spending the first week with Jordan, traveling to Glasgow, Edinburgh, Cork, Galway, Dublin and a few places between. We are both really excited to have a week of vacation just the two of us exploring Scotland and Ireland. Next Saturday I’ll meet up with my graduate school friends and Jordan leaves that Monday. I’ll be…
Last summer I was lucky enough to spend two weeks staying in Vienna, Austria for school. With each passing day, I fell in love with the city even more. Between the rich musical history, beautiful architecture, and great food and beer selections, there’s never a shortage of things to do. I plan on taking my son back with me someday, and if I do, these are the top six things I’d do with him. My list for adults is quite different, and I’ll be posting that soon. In the meantime, check out…
Being a travel agent, I have tons of packing tips and tricks. I’ve compiled a list of things that you should be doing every time you travel! Leave a comment below if you have any to add to the list! It is forever growing. 🙂 General Packing Tips PACK LIGHT! I know you’ve heard this a million times before, but seriously, do it. Airlines charge fees for overweigh bags and you want to have enough room to bring home souvenirs! You also want to be to travel with your luggage comfortably. Going along with packing light, pack…
What is Curacao? For those of you who don’t already know, Curacao is the southernmost Caribbean Island. It is one of the “ABC” islands that consists of Aruba, Bonaire & Curacao. They are known for their great diving locations, unique culture and all of their residents speaking four languages… that’s right… FOUR! It truly is a beautiful island and many people have never heard of it, unfortunately. But, with recent education and more frequent flights to the country, it is steadily growing as a hot destination in the Caribbean! I was lucky…
One of my favorite things about traveling is my ordinary (or sometimes not so ordinary) interactions with the locals. When I traveled to Europe for thirty days back in the summer of 2010, I had a few of these moments that are still very much alive in my mind. While these memories are meaningful to me, they aren’t necessarily significant to the every day pers on. The reason they are to me is because, for a moment, even though there was a huge language barrier between us, I was able to have a conversation with someone who lived…
In honor of Mother’s Day, I asked several bloggers and business owners to share their most significant travel moments with their children, or their mom, with me. As a mom myself, travel is very important to me, and a big part of my relationship with my son. I loved reading each of their stories and seeing how travel factored into their relationships as well. I hope you enjoy these moments as much as I did! Rash & Chalukya – Go Beyond Bounds “We had visited the tulip gardens of Morges in Switzerland last May. Our…
After all the recent events lately, I can’t help but think that in spite of everything, I am even more excited to travel the world. This is the best time. This is the time when we defy the barriers they are trying to set on us. This is the time we take the world back. If you were going to die tomorrow, would you be okay with your last days being spent at home on the couch living in fear? Or would you want your last day to be doing something memorable, something out of your comfort zone…
Many people think that the Travel Agent is outdated. I promise you, we aren’t! I’ve been a travel agent now for five years, working in the travel industry for about eight years. I’ve seen every experience you can think of when it comes to booking travel. I’m here to tell you, even if you don’t use a travel agent, I HIGHLY recommend never using a third party booking engine. (But really, show some travel agents some love! We want your trip to be just as memorable as you…
This is the story of Stephen. Stephen and I crossed paths in Vienna. I hope our paths cross again someday. 🙂 I get home from Bratislava with my writer friends and Stephen and I, a guy stationed in Spain with the Navy but in Vienna by himself for the weekend (from Tinder), make a plan to meet in front of McDonalds on Stephensplatz in about an hour. I change, freshen up my make up since I’d been sweating in Bratislava all day, and head out to meet him. I decide to walk, since it’s only two stops…
