6 Luxury Travel Essentials I Can’t Go Without
July 20, 2023 I am so excited to share some essential travel items specifically curated for women exploring the beauty of Europe. But don’t worry, none of these travel essentials for women have to be luxury. You can totally get each and every one on a budget. I personally justify splurging on the luxury version […]

Unforgettable Girls’ Trip at Wylder Windham Hotel: Exploring Upstate New York’s Charming Retreat
May 31, 2023 Embarking on a girls’ trip is always an exciting adventure, and our recent getaway to Wylder Windham Hotel in Windham, NY, was an absolute dream. From the breathtaking beauty of upstate New York to the luxurious amenities and charming accommodations, our experience at this boutique hotel was nothing short of unforgettable. Accompanied […]

How Virgin Voyages Changed my Mind about Cruises
I never thought I’d say this, but I am officially converted to a cruiser! Virgin Voyages is unlike any other cruise line and has completely elevated the industry. These adults only cruises are luxurious, fun, and fabulous.


South Lake Tahoe Summer Girls Trip
Another adventurous girls trip for the Babes that Wander! Traveling with this group is an absolute blast and I constantly find myself taking part in activities I never thought I’d have the chance to try. It always makes for a great experience (like in Bend!) and Lake Tahoe was no exception. A Lake Tahoe summer is not to be missed. So if you’re looking for things to do in Lake Tahoe in the summer, you’re in the right place.


Crete Travel Guide
I am so incredibly excited to finally get my Crete Travel Guide published! Crete is an absolutely magical island and I can’t wait to go back. With the popularity of other islands like Santorini and Mykonos, Crete is often overlooked. Which, honestly, makes me like it that much more.


24 Hours in Athens, Greece
January 5, 2023 If you’re visiting Greece, chances are you’ll go through Athens no matter which islands you plan to spend your time in. I’ve been to Athens a few times now and I remember the first time I went, countless people told me not to spend more than a day in the historically rich […]

10 Day Greece Itinerary
March 2, 2023 Planning a trip abroad can be tricky, especially when you’re not a super seasoned traveler. But if you’re a control freak like me, then you have no other choice than to do all the planning yourself. This was actually my second visit to Greece and I feel like I totally nailed this […]

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.
