    Off-Season Travel Magic: Why Fall & Winter Are Better

    10/13 /1 Comment

    Off-season travel is one of the best-kept secrets in the travel world. When most people think “travel,” they imagine summer beach trips or spring escapes. But fall and winter bring a different kind of magic—a quieter, more authentic experience of place. In this post, I’ll share why off-season travel deserves more love, how to make it work for you, and a few of my favorite destinations to inspire your next trip.   Photo Pexels Why Off-Season Travel Wins Fewer Crowds, More Breathing Room One of my favorite things about traveling outside peak season is the space to actually feel the place — no jostling in lines, no fighting for the…

    Top 6 Road Trip Passenger Essentials for the Ultimate Ride

    04/03 /No Comments

    There’s a unique kind of freedom in a road trip—the kind that starts before you even hit the road. That feeling of knowing the next few hours (or days) are yours to cruise through, window down, snacks in hand, with nowhere to be but where the road takes you. And while the driver might be focused on exits, speed limits, and how to parallel park on a hill, the passenger’s job is simpler. But still important. You’re the co-pilot, the DJ, the in-car therapist, and sometimes the designated snack distributor.     Via Pexels Comfort Kit (Neck Pillow, Blanket, Eye Mask) Ever tried to nap in a car without a…

    Dysfunctional: a : not functioning properly : marked by impaired or abnormal functioning b : characterized by abnormal or unhealthy interpersonal behavior or interaction Since the 1980’s the word dysfunctional has been used to describe family dynamics. Talk show hosts paraded family members on screen for entertainment and the more obnoxious the better.
