The Florida Keys Girls Trip
Another successful girls trip for the Babes that Wander! I got together with my favorite travel blogging ladies for a visit to the Florida Keys and it did not disappoint! We did so many activities, ate at so many restaurants, and visited breweries on our Miami to Key West road trip. I’ve already done a Key West travel guide, so this post will share more group activities, Islamorada restaurants, breweries, and general things to do in the Florida Keys.


An Escape to Wrightsville Beach, NC
Wow, what a great little weekend getaway to Wrightsville Beach, North Carolina! I’ve been to the Carolinas a few times in my life, but I had never been to the beaches there. I honestly felt like it could be the perfect setting for a book. You know those summer beach reads that make you wish you lived in a charming beach town – or at least “summer” in one? That’s Wrightsville Beach. So pleasant. So laid back. So dreamy. I think this might be my new favorite getaway from Atlanta!


Los Angeles Travel Guide
Los Angeles is one of those places that feels like a second (or third or fourth) home to me. So when my bestie invited Ryan and me on a couples trip, I thought it would be a fun opportunity to go to LA again–and see it through the eyes of three first-time visitors.


Bend, Oregon Winter Travel Guide
My experience in Bend, Oregon in the winter has totally opened my mind to traveling to cold-weather destinations more often. As long as you’re prepared for it with the right clothing and gear, being in the cold and snow really isn’t bad at all. And that’s what traveling is all about–opening your mind and expanding your own beliefs and perspective.


Belize Travel Guide
February 3, 2022 I am so excited that I finally made it to Belize! The Central American country has been on my list for a few years now. I envisioned laying on a beach, but Belize has so much more to offer. This trip was actually a gift from one of my best friends in […]

Delta Medallion Status Explained: Everything You Need to Know
October 12, 2021 With travel getting back to almost normal, many people are flying to visit family–or to just get away–for the first time in over a year. We’re seeing more and more people value travel and seeing the world. But are they all doing it in the most beneficial way? Definitely not. Ever since […]

Turks & Caicos Travel Guide
Ahh, beautiful Turks & Caicos. I often describe this island group as my favorite tropical destination. The water is the clearest and most vibrant turquoise I have ever seen and the powder sand beaches are breathtaking. It’s no wonder Grace Bay in Providenciales is often recognized as the most beautiful beach in the world – I couldn’t agree more.


A Day in Sonoma
September 30, 2021 I finally made it to Sonoma – and I absolutely loved it! I’ve been to Napa twice before and both times, so many people told me I just had to do Sonoma too. Now I see why. It’s so different from Napa. I took my mom for her 60th birthday so it […]

The Best Luxury Resort in Puerto Vallarta
It’s hard to even put into words the exquisite luxury I experienced at Garza Blanca in Puerto Vallarta. I’ve been to luxury resorts all over the world–from an African safari to a floating breakfast in our private pool in Bali and everything in between–and nothing quite compares to the beautiful views, palatial suite, and impeccable service I experienced at Garza Blanca. The staff made this a trip I’ll never forget for as long as I live, and I have a feeling I’ll be comparing every future trip to this one.

Chacala: A Hidden Gem in Mexico
April 8, 2022 In a land far, far away, lies a magical little town with friendly locals, the most deliciously fresh food, and dreamy Mexican beaches. This land is known as Chacala. For the past two years, I have heard stories of Chacala and how vibrant, peaceful, and carefree the town is. After years of […]
