I had the pleasure of visiting this lake on our recent Thanksgiving getaway to Idyllwild, California and it was such a treat on a crisp fall afternoon. The water is soooo blue and the fall foliage in the background with the San Jacinto Mountains was just BEAUTIFUL! I highly recommend making a stop

My girlfriend and I have had Idyllwild on our radar for a while now but seeing this new property on TikTok definitely nudged us to finally book the trip. It’s a great place to stay for couples, families, and large groups with several cabin sizes to choose from but was it worth the $500 price tag?

You might be familiar with these spaceship accommodations you might have seen a couple times on the internet, there are actually about 50 of them around the world and you might be surprised to find out that one of them is in Idyllwild California! These “Futuro Houses” were manufactured back in the

My least favorite day in Norway 🙃 And don’t get me wrong, these were some of the most beautiful views I’ve ever seen! This route is so popular for a good reason, but it just wasn’t my favorite especially after 2.5 weeks of self-driving Northern Norway where there were far less tour buses and hor

I saw this topic trend and thought, what travel trips do I usually come by that I actually DON’T agree with?? I’ve planned so many trips long and short and definitely have developed a personal groove & preference when it comes to certain things. Here are some common travel tips that I actually

San Sebastian is a MUST for any foodie and lover of beautiful coastal cities and architecture. I had the pleasure of having a little girls trip here with some of my closest friends last year and it’s a place I think about constantly. San Sebastian, Spain 🫒 1hr flight from Barcelona , 1hr bu

... and they may not be what you expect! I absolutely love exploring foreign supermarkets as a big foodie and these are some of the best local treats we had in Norway . And unsurprisingly - they’re mostly CHOCOLATE. Great souvenirs for yourself and friends and family back home. 🛒 Freia Melkesjo

Porto is one of the most charming European cities I’ve ever been to - and one of the most affordable too! Most people usually skip this for Lisbon, but here’s why it’s worth the visit: 🇵🇹 Views: the view from the Douro is UNMATCHED! 🇵🇹 History: Porto has been more untouched by natural calami

As someone who frequents exhibitions & galleries, I’m always skeptical about outdoor illuminations. I wasn’t sure that I wanted to visit Sensorio in Paso Robles for $45 (limited exhibitions at that, you have to pay another $15 to see an exclusive area) but since it was one of the top things to

Marfa Texas is such a niche destination and so hard to get to to, especially from Los Angeles as you need to fly in to the city of El Paso first and then take a 3 hr drive from there!
