Bali has treated us well so far! We’ve been to Alila Manggis, Grand Hyatt Bali, and Ailia Ubud so far. They were all incredible in their own ways and we loved the varied environments to do different kinds of activities. More to come!

Check out this one for 9-nights: a rail package from ORD in January or February 2023 from $1200pp with air, hotels, and rail package!!!

Got so many questions about this toddler plane activities story that I wanted to make sure everyone knew it has a highlight on my profile! Just click on “✈️ Activities” so you can go back when you need a reminder. We’ll document how well the plane ride goes (or doesn’t go- you never know with toddlers 😜)

One of my favorite nooks in our home! We finally started our scratch off map (4 years later 😅) and also document our travels with our photo wall. Since we’ve been married, we’ve been to Spain (x2), France, Hungary, Mexico (x4), Ireland, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Antigua, Barbados, Catalina Island, and several US States (Colorado is always one of our favorites!) Our passion for travel is one of the things that brought us together, and we love that we get to share it with our little nugget. Wondering how we travel so much as two entrepreneurs (me in nonprofit and Hascall is the coffee biz!)? Send me a dm! I’d love to share all my secrets to luxury but budget friendly travel!

Can you picture yourself walking these beaches? I have clients spending their honeymoon at the Mystique Royalton in St. Lucia in just under a month, and I couldn’t be more excited for them! St. Lucia is the most incredible mix of beautiful beaches, jungle and adventure, and relaxation. While they’re there, they’ll be going scuba diving, taking a sunset Piton catamaran tour, and going hiking. I love planning honeymoons and making them the celebration they should be!

Travel tip for all you parents with small children! Find a resort where you can reserve a swim out suite- absolute game changer! Since we were so active, Selah was napping three times a day in Mexico, but that didn’t stop us from being able to enjoy the pool since we had our own private one! Plus, we traveled with friends and had rooms next door to each other, so we were able to have all the kiddos together in our own private section. To top it all off- waiters would come by and take our food and drink orders! Shout out to and for being the best travel buddies 🤩 We stayed at Royalton Riviera Cancun and it’s by far our favorite resort we’ve stayed at. They have some epic deals going on right now- let me know if you want a quote!

Aaand we’re back! In case you’ve been wondering where I went, this little nugget here is the reason! I had to take a season off to focus on family (COVID didn’t help the travel business either, haha), *but* I’m back and ready to share all things travel with you again! Our family just got back from Mexico, so I thought I’d share some of our memories. Our sweet Selah Joy is the best travel buddy, and at just over one year old has already been to Colorado, Illinois, and Mexico (twice!). I’ll be sharing lots of best practices for parents and traveling with kiddos too, so keep an eye out!

I know it's been a while since posting (thanks COVID), but I couldn't pass up letting you all know about the EPIC deals all-inclusive resorts have going on right now. I've been so impressed with the updates they're sending out to agents about their safety measures- all resorts all 50% capacity (hey empty beaches and pool chairs!), no buffets are open (all the fancy foods from the good restaurants), masks required for all employees, and all airplanes have hospital-grade air filters!

There are resorts doing "Workcations" that you can stay 14 nights for $899! All-inclusive resorts in Cancun/Riviera Maya with round trip airfare from $799 for a week. If you're itching to take a safe, relaxing vacation, let me know and I'll send you some options!

My number one travel hack? ! They send me fare sales and mistake fares straight to my inbox, so when my hubby and I are wanting to travel somewhere specific, we never pay full price for airfare. If you want 10% off a premium account (where you get to choose the airports you fly out of and more deals) here’s a link http://fbuy.me/n-XR4 ! They also have a free account, too!

I just booked Logan+Anna a honeymoon in Costa Rica! They wanted a mixture of relaxation and adventure, so we went with three nights in La Fortuna at the Tabacón Hot Springs, and three nights in Manuel Antonio at the Gaia Hotel and Nature Reserve. Who wants to join them looking at all these pictures?!
