Isla Mujeres - The best beach in Mexico

I love to start my Mexico adventures in Isla Mujeres. Playa Norte is rated the best beach in Mexico and for good reason. I almost don't want to share this place as it seems to keep growing in popularity with tourists.

Williamsburg and Kingsmill Resort - a great place for a family vacation!

Williamsburg is the largest living history museum in the world. Walk the Jamestown Settlement, learn about colonial life, and visit the Yorktown area. It will surprise you with Bush Gardens, the Williamsburg Winery, spas, and shopping. There is world-class food and enough to keep everyone in the family happy.

Kobe, Japan - A Beautiful Port City with Amazing Food

A wonderful mix of cultures. We indulged in Wagyu and Kobe beef. Rode the cable car to the top of Mt Rokko. Strolled through vintage shops and enjoyed Kobe's Chinatown.

The amazing city of Kyoto, Japan

Kyoto is the most epic city in Japan. It is full of culture and history while embracing the modern. Ensure you make time to visit the Bamboo Forest and Inari Shrine. Don't skip a day trip to Uji to indulge in Matcha.

Osaka, Japan, and our day trip to Nara

Street food and markets are everywhere. This area feels more friendly and outgoing than Tokyo. you may have heard of a cat cafe but how about a hedgehog cafe? It was unbelievable to play with these adorable creatures. A must-do is a day trip to Nara. The friendly deer are the highlight but there is so much more !
