I’ve been to Disneyland several times as a mom, starting when my daughter was just four-years-old. And each time I am probably just as excited—if not more!—than my daughter for our trip. I always do a bunch of research and planning to ensure that we were planning a trip to Disneyland on a budget (to keepRead more
Welcome to my latest post on my secrets to budget travel! Did you know that in the last twelve months, I’ve traveled to three continents, four different countries, and seven U.S. states? (Okay, one of the continents was North America, but still, that’s impressive, right?) I was reflecting on my budget-savvy travels over the lastRead more
Sandpoint, Idaho, is somewhat of a hidden secret in the Pacific Northwest. Located in North Idaho approximately 60 miles south of the Canadian border, this small resort-like town is a year-round tourist destination. Home to the largest lake in Idaho and one of the best ski resorts in the entire Pacific Northwest, there is plentyRead more
No matter what you’re interested in as a traveler—culture, food, history—New York has it all, and at all price points. You can spend hundreds of dollars on front-row Broadway seats or you can see new shows for $15 at off-off-Broadway theaters.

As I’ve written about before, Buenos Aires is an incredible city that I initially underestimated but ended up really enjoying.

It’s almost a new year, which means it’s time come up with the New Year’s resolutions that you’ll completely forget about by mid-February. Kidding! New Year’s resolutions can feel like a marketing gimmick for gyms and health food stores, but the values behind them—visualizing what you want your life to be and committing to makeRead more
I love to travel, but honestly, South America was not on my radar as a prime destination until a family situation arose last year that necessitated me going; since then, I’ve been to Buenos Aires twice and have fallen in love with it. It reminds me of a large European city, with its history andRead more
I’ve always considered London to be a great gateway to Europe if traveling from the U.S. I just got back from my third trip there and it was the most cost-effective yet; with the value of the British pound at an all-time low as a result of Brexit, US dollars go extra far. Travelers, it’sRead more
I love New York City, but not in the kind of way that makes me want to live there. (Even though in a previous life, I totally would have considered it!) I love it in the kind of way that makes me want to visit as often as possible. There’s so much to do andRead more
Are you planning a trip to Argentina? Well you need to make sure to visit Bariloche! My husband and I have made two separate trips to Argentina in 2018, spending a few days in Buenos Aires and a couple weeks in Bariloche, and we loved the country and our time there. After spending so muchRead more
