Enjoy the splendor of a Slovenian summer! 🇸🇮..
Head to Slovenia in July (before the August European holiday rush) and you’ll absolutely fall in love with this hidden gem. 💎 For a small country Slovenia has a lot to offer! Fairytale landscapes, vibrant cities, a charming seaside and majestic alps. Summertime is the perfect time to enjoy all the outdoor pursuits!..
July is warm enough to take a dip in Slovenia’s pristine alpine lakes like Bohinj Lake and the iconic Lake Bled. Or venture into Triglav National Park and hike through valleys adorned with wildflowers and climb Slovenia’s highest peaks. 🏔️..
In summer Slovenia comes alive with a warmth that matches the hospitality of its people. It’s a perfect climate for exploring the capital - Ljubljana, with mild temperatures ideal for wandering through charming old town, exploring the medieval castle, and savoring the local flavors at outdoor cafes. ☕️..
While July is a popular time to visit, the warmth of Slovenian hospitality and the abundance of natural beauty ensure that you'll find your own quiet corner of paradise. So, pack your bags, and let Slovenia cast its enchanting spell on your 2024 summer getaway! 😎 ..

☀️ Take in the beauty of Zion National Park in June ..
While June is during the busy season for Utah’s first national park - with a little pre-planning this is a beautiful time of year to visit! ..
You can make a reservation for a campsite as early as 6 months out for the conveniently located Watchman Campground. And if you want to hike the famous Angel’s Landing, be sure to enter the new lottery system for a permit. ..
Other than that, the park’s shuttle is free to ride and will get you to most places in Zion Canyon. I suggest the Observation Point hike as a permit-free (but equally gorgeous) alternative to the Angel’s Landing hike. Get an early start, as afternoon temps start to rise in June. But not to worry, a hile thru the Narrows in the Virgin River will cool you right off! ..

It's officially spooky season 👻
Time for frights and fall delights. 🎃What kind of spooky stuff do you have planned this fall? I'm definitely leaf peeping 🍁 👀 and *trying* to watch some scary movies 🫣😆
Snapped this moody shot on our hike out to Ann Lake in Washington while the whole area was covered in forest fire smoke. Definitely a little spooky, but still worth it. 🙌

Some trips are epic treks, while others are quiet walks - but both nourish the soul 😊
We recently returned from a long overdue trip to Michigan to visit family and connect with my family’s roots. This trip was postponed several times due to the pandemic but I’m so grateful we were finally able to make it happen!
I’m reminded by how important our human connections are. ❤️ Remember to cherish every moment with your loved ones folks! Do you have family you need to travel to see? Maybe it's time for a trip! ✈️

Do you like trying new things? 😋🌺
I do! I fell in love with this drink while in Egypt! It’s hibiscus tea (I think they call it karkadeh) and it’s sooo refreshing!
It’s made from steeping dried hibiscus flowers in boiling water and adding some sugar (or not) while it’s cooling. Once chilled the result is this brightly colored tart and tangy tea that’s so refreshing!
We were offered this drink (usually as a welcome) all over Egypt, but you could order it at restaurants too!
You can buy the dried hibiscus flowers in all the spice markets, I brought some home and have made several pitchers of it. It supposedly has great health benefits too!
If you want to try some this summer yourself, check your local international markets, I found some at the Hispanic and Arabic supermarkets!
I’ll link the recipe in stories so you can make some at home too!

Take a little trip to Philae Temple🌴
What a fascinating place! This temple was originally built around 690 BC to worship the goddess Isis. But when the Aswan low dam was built in the early 1900s the island where the temple sits was flooded.
In the 1960s UNESCO started a project to save this temple and others from the rising waters and successfully moved this temple and others to safer higher ground. You can still see water marks on the temple walls where the waterline used to be!
You can visit the Philae temple complex by heading to the Marina Philae Temple in Aswan, where official boats wait to take you to Agilkia Island for a small fee.

🌎Happy Earth Day!🌍
Today is the day we celebrate Earth and all her glorious beauty! But it's not just a celebration. It's also a friendly reminder to actively give a crap about this beautiful planet that we collectively call home. As far as we know, we only have one Earth!
So...let's pick up our own (and other's) trash. Reduce how much stuff we throw away (it's going SOMEWHERE when you throw it out.) Reuse as much as possible. Buy electric and hybrid cars. And acknowledge that climate change is very real, and unless we all start stepping up, it's coming for us real soon.

✨ The Ramesseum in Luxor ✨
Good ol' Ramses II...he built more temples and statues—and had more babies—than any other Egyptian pharaoh. 👑 This place was his memorial temple.
The Ramesseum site is near the Valley of the Kings on Luxor's West Bank. It's a mortuary temple. Which means it was a place of worship dedicated to the pharaoh, seen as a god on earth, where his memory would have been kept alive after his death.
It's a site that often doesn't make Luxor's "must-see list" which meant we had it mostly to ourselves! 🙌

Step Pyramid of Saqqara 🐍
The Saqqara Archeological site is full wonders. 🤩 Including the ancient Step Pyramid, the oldest of Egypt’s pyramids. At more than 4700 years old, it's 200 years older than the great pyramids at Giza! Built by the architect Imhotep for the Pharaoh Djoser (Zoser) it’s known as one of the oldest stone structures built by man.
The Saqqara complex is a vast ancient burial ground. And they are still making new discoveries! Check out "Secrets of the Saqqara Tomb" on Netflix to see some incredible new tombs they have discovered very recently!

Ready to get high? 😉
Climb Ponce Inlet Lighthouse in Daytona Beach! A great place to get up high for sweeping views of the inlet, intracoastal waterway and the eastern Atlantic coastline. 🌊
This National Historic Landmark was completed in 1887, and is one of the tallest in the US at 175 feet. It was built to improve the safety of what was then called Mosquito Inlet, where many ships had met a watery death. It's light can be seen 20 miles out to sea! ✨
Be ready to earn that view though - its 203 steps to the top! Totally worth it! And you can reward yourself with a beer and fresh seafood afterwards. 🍺 🍤

Ready to MOD-ify your view? ☀️🌴
Palm Springs is a perfect winter or spring getaway! Sunny skies, warm (but not scorching, yet) temps and some super fun mid-century modern architecture to enjoy. Like this beauty! 👆
Joshua Tree National Park is also just a short drive away! I can help you map out the perfect long weekend itinerary. So you can marvel at some mod architecture AND take in gorgeous desert landscapes. All in the same weekend!🌵 😎

Happy International Women's Day! 💪
Today is a day to commemorate the social, political and economic achievements of women. It’s also a day for women to strengthen and uplift one another and continue to fight the barriers that would keep us from living our most fulfilled lives.
On this I'm also thinking of and sending love to the brave women and girls of Ukraine. The ones who were forced to flee, and the ones who stayed behind. We’re with you. 💙 💛

Hey there Tuesday! 👋
Throwback to last February when we were literally walking in a winter wonderland in Utah. ❄️
I must freely admit that a Utah Winter is way more magical than this brown bi-polar winter crap we have in Tennessee...😒 Who else is ready for spring? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Welp, it's a New Year. How's it going so far? 🤗
At the beginning of 2020 we were all so excited. New decade! New chapter! I even deemed it "the year of change!" LOL.... I guess I wasn't specific enough with that one. Because phew, it was a year of change, just not the kind of change we wanted.😬
When 2021 began, I was a little timid to be optimistic about the New Year. We wanted to tread lightly, and HOPED things would get better in this crazy world. But had no expectations. Turns out, 2021 was really just a year of "making it through."
For 2022 I'm *cautiously* optimistic. I'm definitely not declaring it "our year." But I'm hoping it will be a year of POSITIVE change. Cause we need to be more specific this time, and all we can do is hope. 🙏🏻 Onwards and upwards my friends! ✈️ 🌍
