Couple Travel: How to Cope When One of You Gets Vacation Burn Out I have a small confession to make. It had been quite a while since either Tom or I had done a long road trip and we packed a bit too much into our recent trip to New Zealand. Well, it wasn’t ENTIRELY [...]
All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go… The day has finally arrived. I can hardly believe it. And thank goodness the world didn’t end yesterday. I would have been very mad if it had ended right before I went to… New Zealand! Yup, our bags are packed, the house sitter is coming, and [...]
Love and Travel: The story of how Tom and I met and bonded over travel I was perusing Facebook last night and came across a friend whose status update was this: “I want to travel the world and marry a man who will travel it with me.” Aw, love and travel. The two fit together [...]
Planning Your Next Trip is So Much More Fun if You Walk A Cat on a Leash While You Do it. Really. It suddenly dawned on me today that Tom’s and my New Zealand trip is going to be here before we know it and we’ve barely talked about it. I realized I barely knew [...]
Witnessing an Awkward and Strange Wedding Proposal in Florida Every weekend it seems every other person in my Facebook newsfeed is posting about a wedding they just went to. Wedding season is almost over, and this year it made me randomly think about a proposal Tom and I witnessed a few years ago and if [...]

He has been visiting Petra, navigating the streets of Dubai, off-roading in the desert, and floating in the Dead Sea. I, on the other hand, have been moping on my [...]
5 Ways Camping as a Couple Brings You Closer The first time Tom and I tried to go camping during a PCH road trip, it began pouring down rain the night we were going to camp and Tom decided he did not want the first time camping with his very-unsavvy-when-it comes-to-camping girlfriend (i.e. me) to [...]
It took us two pro and con lists, spending guesstimations, a guidebook, and travel blog perusing, but we finally decided on what country we’re going to visit next. Drumroll please… NEW ZEALAND! It’s official, folks. Tickets are booked and I’m jumping off the walls ecstatic. It can’t come fast enough. Since we don’t have oodles [...]
I'm a travel marketer and travel writer. My husband, Tom, is getting his MBA and never stops studying. We have two cats. We have a mortgage. We have a passion for traveling. We have limited vacation time and funds.
Our friends and family wonder how we travel so much.

For our honeymoon, Tom and I splurged our miles on getting first class seats. It wasn’t my first time flying first-class, but it was my first time knowing I was going to (all the times before had been a last-minute upgrade thanks to frequent flier status). Therefore, I was just as excited about the first [...]
