An unforgettable riverside forest stay in Glencoe An unforgettable riverside forest stay in Glencoe 🧚🏼

📍 RiverBeds Luxury Wee Lodges with Hot Tubs @ Woodlands Glencoe @woodlands.scot

One of the most unforgettable stays of our trip, complete with a private hot tub and lovely breakfast in the morning. We also found ourselves a quick drive away from a lot of iconic hikes, castles and locations like the famous Glenfinnan Viaduct.

Couldn’t believe our eyes 🥹 Luskentyre Beach Couldn’t believe our eyes 🥹

Luskentyre Beach is widely considered the most beautiful beach in Scotland, and to some, the most beautiful beach in the world. Located on the Isle of Harris, it features miles of dazzling white sand and striking turquoise blue water.

Think this was worth the ferry out from Isle of Skye, don’t you??

do you recognize this famous cafe in Kamakura? 🚃🍚

@yoridocoro #カフェヨリドコロ is well known for these train views and the experience of hand-whipping your own egg whites! You can watch the famous Enoden Line go by while eating a delicious breakfast.

🪑 We reserved these train view seats in advance (¥1,000/person), and tried a dried horse mackerel set (¥1,980) and a ajimirin dried fish set (¥1,980).

  • A Weekend at Glacier National Park
    While Montana may not be the first state that comes to mind for a getaway, it has so much to offer.

After all, the landscape is filled with cute barns and [continue reading…]
  • 10 Best Photo Spots in Shanghai
    I’ve put off writing a blog post about Shanghai for so long. Not because I haven’t wanted to, but because it’s a place so close to my heart. This city that I’ve lived in throughout high school, the place that I call home. It’s impossible to know where to start or how to scratch the surface on this bustling city of 26 million people—it makes [continue reading…]

    As a native Southern Californian whose family trips usually consisted of beach and sand, I’m not sure I would have believed you if you told me that one day I’d consider northern Norway my favorite winter vacation. Yet one week, three aurora sightings, 1,000 km of driving, endless islands scattered with picturesque rorbu fishing houses and [continue reading…]
  • Top 10 Things to do in Lompoc, CA
    In my mind, California’s central coast is one of the most beautiful and underrated regions in the state. When my husband and I had the chance to visit Lompoc one weekend with Explore Lompoc, we jumped at the opportunity! This area was first inhabited by the native Chumash people, and the name “Lompoc” is derived from the Purisimeño language [continue reading…]
  • A Winter’s Weekend in Washington, D.C.
    Both the capital of the United States and a strange district in neither Maryland nor Virginia, Washington, D.C. is the hub where all branches of the federal government operate. This political city center is filled with historically significant sites that are generally free to visit and instill a sense of wonderment in you. However you might feel [continue reading…]

Whether for a fun girls’ trip or a romantic couples’ escape, you can bet Santa Barbara will be the perfect place to spend a relaxing weekend. [continue reading…]
  • Hotel Review: Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort
    Few things make me sing, “California, here we come,” more than driving up the 101 to Santa Barbara. The ocean views, swaying palm trees and blue skies will draw you in, but staying at a place like the Hilton Santa Barbara Beachfront Resort really seals the deal and makes you never want to leave this beautiful coastal town.

I love a good remote Japanese island, and these tw I love a good remote Japanese island, and these two are some of my favorites ❤️

Rishiri Island (利尻島) and Rebun Island (礼文島) are two islands off the coast of Wakkanai, Hokkaido (and Japan)’s northernmost town (seriously, you can see Russia from the shoreline).

Between the stunning hikes, abundant wildflowers, delicious food (fun fact — Rishiri claims the “best” ramen in Japan with a secret local seaweed broth), welcoming locals and gorgeous views, there really is no place like these unique islands.

Feeling spirited away on Sado Island ✨ This isl Feeling spirited away on Sado Island ✨

This island sits about 1hr off the shore of Niigata via high speed jetfoil, and is an unforgettable Ghibli-coded visit. We barely scratched the surface of this beautiful place in the day that we had, and I’d love to return and spend multiple days here!

Some must-dos:

🌊 Taraibune Tub-Boat Riding Experience - This is the only place in Japan where you can still ride in a traditional taraibune

🌊 Tokinomori Park - A conservation park where you can see the rare Crested Ibis (Nipponia Nippon) 

🌊 Senagou Bus Stop - The most picturesque bus stop by the sea

🌊 Site of Kitazawa Flotation Plant - These ruins are free to visit, and are reminiscent of something out of Castle in the Sky

🌊 Lagoon Cat Coffee - A truly charming cafe with ocean views
