36 Hours in Luxembourg City
I think I got off on the wrong foot with little Luxembourg. My journey by train from Amsterdam was met with sudden route changes, extending my transit time from the better part of a morning to a full seven hours – which meant I was filled with a bit of regret before Michael and I …
Dutch Day Trip Guide for Delft and The Hague
Tell someone you’re heading to Delft and they’ll immediately conjure up either: mental pictures of scenic canals and swimming patterns of blue and white pottery, or a faintly hidden look of confusion. Delft is tiny yet has been established on the tourist trek – but if you’re willing to give a wide berth to the …
Rotterdam Day Trip + Visit to Kinderdijk
The Netherlands’ second city doesn’t get nearly the amount of attention it deserves – which makes it a great day-trip destination.

Travel Guide: 36 Hours in St. Louis, Missouri
Ah, St. Louis, Missouri (also known as The Gateway City). It’s a place that has been on my travel list for quite some time, yet Michael and I didn’t solidify our plans to visit until less than a week before departure. In fact, we weren’t even planning to be in the Midwest that particular weekend—we …
Travel Guide: 36 Hours in Jacksonville, Florida
It was surfing that brought Michael and me to Jacksonville one weekend. Not what you expected, right? Perhaps a sporting event or convention or family or something, but not surfing. Yet there we were on a recent Saturday, standing on the beach in our swimsuits and wondering what we’d gotten ourselves into. This post contains …
