Wine weekend has officially become an annual tradition. Last year: Fredericksburg. This year: Dripping Springs. Also a tradition: Cold and rainy weather apparently. We picked Dripping Springs because it was close to Austin and had a few cute wineries we hadn’t been to. We also picked it because it was one of the closest wine … Continue reading
So happy to finally be able to sit down and write this post. After all the craziness of traveling, blog parties, TV appearances, and holidays over the past two weeks it’s been chaotic to say the least, but I’m so excited to write about one of my newest favorite cities in Europe–Berlin! Not only is … Continue reading
If Glamping is wrong, I don’t want to be right. Glamping Hub recently launched its new Texas hub, and it took me all of 5 minutes to decide on The Crow’s Nest in College Station, Texas, mainly because it’s adorable but also because it’s just down the street, y’all! And I’ve never been to C-Stat, … Continue reading

Well, apparently I’ve been missing out, because Quattro in the Four Seasons has a great brunch buffet. Here’s how to do it … Continue reading

Generally, I travel with my family or friends but as of … Continue reading
Barcelona felt instantly different from Madrid. Like a whole different country (which it basically is, Catalonia). And some described the difference in a very Texas way: Madrid is Dallas, and Barcelona is Austin. I HATE this description bc I love Madrid and would not compare it to Dallas, ew. Just kidding. But, I still … Continue reading
We’ll I’ll be damned if I didn’t admit that I fell in love with Amsterdam with my weekend trip in the city. It was filled with whimsical canals, intricate architecture, restaurants that served more than just bread and cheese, and some of the most gorgeous fall colors of the season. As I’ve been traveling for … Continue reading
Munich. The Capital of Bavaria. International Destination for Ocktoberfest. And perfect excuse for a quick day trip to Europe. If you have only 24 hours to spare, here’s how to spend the most magical day in Munich. Morning: Parks O’clock As someone who’s been on the road traveling for work (and the occasional fun) for … Continue reading
So, I did all this travel recently, which was amazing. 10/10 would recommend. And during my 12-day trip around a new continent, I stayed in four different cities in three different types of lodging: hostel, hotel and Airbnb. I went to Paris, Barcelona, Madrid and Rome — check out the city guides! I did a lot of … Continue reading
