To my Fabulous 👑 Queen
Happy 17th birthday! Here’s to another year of laughing at our own jokes,
dealing with challenges, fitness walks, sneaking into the fastpass line, and keeping each other sane!

I ❤️💗 you more than i can ever express baby girl!

I had the pleasure of consulting with Business Insider last week, on a travel topic that isnt new, but has been gaining popularity recently. Here is the article!

Open-jaw flights, which fly into one city and out of another, are popular among those traveling to Europe. They're usually cheaper than one-ways.

Malina is still the queen- she caught 6. Niko came in a close second, with 5. And me… well I only got 3 but that is one more than last year!

Social media has changed the way we vacation and think about vacation. Not all of the impact has been positive. 🙁

Overtourism is now a global problem, and it continues to result in a declining quality of life for locals. Too many 🌎 tourists visiting one place in too condensed a time can cause stress, damage, and an often inauthentic experience.

So what can we do? I recommend checking out less popular, but very similar, alternatives (plus you’ll save $ by doing this).☀️

Swipe to see some popular destinations that are affected by overtourism and some great alternatives to consider visiting!

If you ARE going to visit touristy destinations, here are some ways to lessen your negative impact:

✔️Visit during off season
✔️Stay more than a day — the longer, the better.
✔️Support local tour guides, and stay in boutique or eco hotels.
✔️Shop and eat at family-run places so your dollar has the most impact.
👉 Reach out with your questions!

I’ve been getting lots of DMs looking for ideas on where to travel with kids that is different from the basic all-inclusive type of vacation. So I put together this list of “beginner friendly” countries for international family travel.

Let me know if this is helpful and if you’d like to see more of these types of posts! 🙂

✨ Travel Tip✨
Flying can be a little hectic these days with lots of delays and cancellations. Putting an Airtag in your luggage will allow you to keep track of it - this is especially important for long journeys, connecting flights and super busy airports.

(Haha I just noticed how dusty mine is!🤦🏻‍♀️)

We’ve talked 🛳️ about the best time to BOOK a cruise, but here are the best times to actually CRUISE to these popular destinations. Of course “best” is subjective. But in MY opinion, this is when the weather is at its best and when the most variation of excursions are available, and when I recommend you cruise to these spots.

🏔️Alaska: Jun - Aug
🌴Caribbean: Dec - April
🍁Canada/New England: Sep - Oct
🌍Europe: Apr - Jun, Sep - Oct
🌈Hawaii: May - Sep
☀️Mexican Riviera: Feb - Apr
🐨Australia: Nov - Mar

As always, reach out with your family cruise questions!
