It would be about OUR kids, OUR finances, OUR jobs, OUR extended families, OUR expectations and OUR future. And that we needed to make sure that the “OURS” aligned. She said I needed to be sure that this guy was THE GUY.
It’s important that you both feel you have a part in the success of the trip, it’s even more important to work within each other’s strengths and comfort levels. I usually ask for input on where to go and take it from there, but your partner may enjoy wading through pages and pages of information, virtual tours or guest reviews.
After 3 whole days of partying, sightseeing and goulash in three different countries—jamming to YMCA in a Vienna taxi, a dance off in a Budapest nightclub and photo-bombing a bride and groom on the cobblestone streets of Bratislava, yes Bratislava, we hadn’t heard of it either.

Our hike from Monterosso to Vernazza promised an adventure, yet it was tougher than any of us anticipated. A little research would have chave been nice, but we skipped that. We overlooked the weather forecast, adding another layer of unpredictability to our journey. "What could possibly go wrong?" You`ll have read my latest blog post to find out how a simple trek along a mountain ridge linking five quaint fishing villages turned into an unforgettable experience. The Cinque Terre, with its rugged beauty along Italy`s Riviera, etched a lasting memory in our hearts, filled with lessons, laughter, and the sheer unpredictability of travel....

Out here by myself on the salt flats in Utah, with the sky turning orange and pink at sunset, I love making the water splash and seeing the clouds at my feet. It`s pretty amazing. It gets me thinking about where I`m headed as a content creator – there`s a lot of room to grow, but the exact way forward isn`t totally clear yet. #saltflatselfie

Tycoga Winery & Distillery says it all with its name. While they have a line of spirits, were just driven 30 minutes to taste their award-winning winning and grab a bite to eat.

I`m taking you along on my adventure through Tuscany, a place famous for its picture-perfect landscapes and deep history. But there`s a twist – we`re going eco-friendly. We`ll also see why their food and wine just taste different (in a good way!) and learn why picking organic and local stuff isn`t just a trend—it`s a choice that`s better for us and the planet. Spending the day at Il Vecchio Maneggio is more than just eating and drinking; it`s about making decisions that help keep our earth healthy....
