I absolutely love Western Rise and everything they offer! If you're unfamiliar, Western Rise is a travel and outdoor clothing company based in Telluride, Colorado. With their first production run taking place in early 2015, and some of the highest-funded Kickstarter clothing campaigns, they are a legitimate player in the “technical clothing” space.

Since we brought our daughter home from the hospital, we have acquired approximately 53 various devices to transport her. From strollers, to slings, to caddies, to hip seats, we have just about every option on the market. Unfortunately, none of these carriers are ideal for travel. In preparation for our big trip to Maui, I started looking for another option. That’s when I discovered MiniMeis, makers of the ideal baby travel carrier.

Maui has easily become our favorite of the four major Hawaiian islands. We fell in love with the island during our first visit, back in 2015. That trip was fast-paced and filled with adventures. For our return trip to Maui, we decided to slow things down and look for the most relaxing and luxurious accommodations. We would also be traveling with our 9-month-old daughter for the first time, so the resort had to be kid-friendly. [ 2,833 more words ]

Most of us travel to seek warm weather. Few things make me happier than departing the snowy Midwest and arriving at a sunny, tropical beach. Other than the occasional ski trip, this is how we plan most of our getaways. This means that I prioritize warm weather travel gear - lightweight tops are absolutely crucial. This post will feature a new t-shirt and featherweight hoodie from Ridge Merino. [ 495 more words ]

Swimsuits are a cornerstone of a good packing list. Let's be honest, most of the best vacations are to tropical destinations. That means, you will need at least one swimsuit for your trip, so you may as well find the best option. I think Harmonqlo brings a great product to the table, in this quick-dry, lightweight, comfortable suit. 431 more words [ 428 more words ]

This small, lakeside town in southern Chile is a necessary stop along the way, if you plan to hike the famous W-Trek in Patagonia. When we planned this portion of our trip, I imagined a sleepy, little place without much to do. Wow, was I wrong!

During our three-day visit to Santiago, Chile, we looked for a centrally-located hotel that we could book on points. Most of the chain hotels are located in the modern, business district of Las Condes, far from most of the tourist spots. Fortunately, we found the Crowne Plaza Santiago, right in the middle of everything we wanted to see. In my experience, Crowne Plaza hotels range from sad/run-down to nice/modern. [ 897 more words ]

Ever since the first day I donned a Patagonia jacket, and learned that it was named for a beautiful region of southern South America, I've wanted to plan a visit. Patagonia (the region) spans across Chile and Argentina, and includes many national parks. On this trip, we visited Torres del Paine on the Chilean side, and hiked the famous "W-trek." Before arriving at the park, we spent a few days exploring Santiago, Chile. [ 556 more words ]
