The Twin Cities have been on my list for a really long time. The art, fashion, and food scenes are thriving and the ease of access to nature within the metro area is utterly appealing (in fact, I warned Michael before we visited to watch out – we might just leave with a desire to …
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I have a love-hate relationship with packing. I love planning outfit combinations and picturing all that I am going to do at a destination, but I don’t really love the actual packing part. I’ve made a great effort to consolidate all of my travel items to …
Museo Frida Kahlo, check. Palacio de Bellas Artes, check. Museo Nacional de Antropología, check. I have good news: If you’ve been to Mexico City once before, but only for a few days – this post’s for you (and if you haven’t?

Sorry, what? Unclaimed Baggage? Yep – Unclaimed Baggage is an entire store dedicated to selling items left in unclaimed …

You guys really pulled through and I was prepared with my warmest clothes. This post contains affiliate links and I may receive a small commission if you make a …
When our families’ plans changed for the Thanksgiving weekend, Michael and I had to make a change to ours, too—and naturally, we took it as an opportunity to travel. With just a few days’ notice before the long weekend, we were left with limited options for flights in our price range and at times that …
