I am currently planning a trip to Italy for July 2025 with my sister and her family. This will be my third time to Rome and I am so excited! Since I have been a couple of times, I want to share how I plan my trip to Rome.

To save money and be able to travel more, I am doing more "out and back" trips, where you leave early in the morning and fly to a different city, spend they day exploring, then fly back home that night. Recently, my sister and I did an out and back trip to Chicago, Illinois. This was the perfect day trip as it was only an hour and half flight from Nashville.

My cell phone provider's international data plan can be expensive and not the best option to stay connected while traveling. On my last couple of International trips, I have tested two different eSim data plans to stay connected abroad.

After 5 years of trying to coordinate this trip, my cousin Erin and I finally visited Portugal. We ate and drank our way through the cities of Porto, Lisbon, and Cascais in the span of a week.

From the historic streets of Boston to the witchy allure of Salem, my solo adventure was packed with unforgettable moments, historical insights, and meaningful connections.

I visited my cousin Madeline and her family in Stuttgart, Germany. Together we explored Esslingen, Heidelberg, and the Black Forest. After a transportation strike canceled my solo trip, I changed plans and visited Ludwigsburg and the Ludwigsburg Palace.

Using your cell phone provider's international data plan can be expensive and not the best option to stay connected. A mobile hotspot can be more cost effective and offer a more reliable internet connection for your next international trip.

A trip to the Mediterranean is the perfect Summer experience. Not wanting to travel solo, I signed up for one of Contiki's group trips: Rome to Barcelona by Train hosted by the YouTuber Morgan Yates.

I took a couple vacation days to explore Chattanooga, Tennessee. Join me as I take a train ride at the Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum, taste some whiskey at the Chattanooga Whiskey Distillery, and hike up to Ruby Falls to wander the caves.
