Slante! Ireland is such a fun place, and we cannot wait to go back! My friends and I went for our 30th birthdays as mine is on March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day!!!) and my twin friends’ birthday is a week prior. I split off from my friends to explore most of Ireland with my husband but we did all do Dublin together. Some general tips to fully enjoy your Irish vacation: If you are not going on an organized tour…
Italy. I cannot say enough good things about this beautiful country. This (approximately) 2-week itinerary is my best curated trip to date! It had just enough planning to make sure we had a place to stay most nights but enough spontaneity to let us be flexible as we traveled about the country. I always want to be spontaneous on trips and decide when we get to a location how long we will stay but I also always want to make…
Cinque Terre is actually the name of the cluster of 5 northern sea coastal towns in Italy. In March 2018, we visited all 5 of these towns on our 2-week Italian adventure. Visiting these towns at this time of year was almost perfect, weather wise it was a little chilly but there were virtually NO tourists. I will take crappier weather over crowded streets any day! The five towns that make up the Cinque Terre are: Monterosso al Mare, Vernazza,…

I had a place to stay in Rome for the first…
My birthday is St. Patrick’s Day so for my 30th birthday, my dream trip was to celebrate in Dublin! So we did, and then decided to hop over (for $50 each!) to London for two days. It was a hectic two days, we saw a lot but I do feel like we came, saw and conquered it. We hit a good mix of touristy must-sees and local favorites. Overall Tip: If you are short on time in any big touristy…
With a birthday on St. Patrick’s Day, it only seemed fitting to have my 30th birthday in Ireland! So that’s what my husband and friends did in 2017. To do a post about our entire trip would be so many pages long and no one wants to read that much! So I’ll chunk out my trip in different categories so I can get more in depth on some pieces. First and most important post is of course “where are the…
