San Miguel de Allende was named the best city in the world in 2017 by Travel and Leisure, and it’s not difficult to see this quaint yet sprawling town’s appeal. San Miguel de Allende’s narrow streets invite travelers to explore every nook and cranny, and each unassuming alley leads to an undiscovered treasure. There is […]
Norway’s Lofoten Islands are an unmistakable sight if you’ve spent absolutely any amount of time looking at travel photography. With its dramatic peaks rising sharply out of the Norwegian Sea, the scenery is unlike anywhere else on earth. Throw in some quaint red and yellow fishing cabins, and you’ve got yourself a cozy Instagrammer’s paradise! […]
Note: Due to the degrading path and increasingly dangerous conditions of the trail, Reinebringen is currently closed while renovations are made to build a new path, which should be open early 2019. Some sources indicate that the old path is still reachable, but I cannot recommend making that hike with the number of recent accidents […]
Scotland has to be one of the most well-rounded travel destinations that I’ve ever encountered in my life. Besides great cities that are overflowing with history and activity, incredible scenery is just a short drive down the road at any given time. The Isle of Skye is, to me, the highlight of an already incredible […]

Thankfully the government subsidizes a Faroe Islands helicopter taxi to make the […]
The Faroe Islands are one of the best destination for travelers looking for stunning, unique scenery without huge crowds. After news broke that just American tourists in Iceland this year will outnumber the local population, it might be time to find a less busy place to indulge in your landscape love. Despite the Faroe Islands posting […]
The Faroe Islands are home to one of the most unique landscapes in the world. However, despite being named the top destination in 2015 by National Geographic, these islands remain surprisingly untouched by tourists. I visited in the height of tourist season, and even then I found the roads to be completely empty of traffic, quiet restaurants, […]
Not everyone is able to hike miles at a time. Some people are physically limited, and, for others, it’s just not their cup of tea. I had a reader reach out to me recently asking if a road trip through the Utah National Parks was worthwhile if she wasn’t able to go on long hikes. […]
Háifoss was one of my favorite sights in all of Iceland. Between its dual waterfalls, sheer cliffs and majestic valley, it’s hard not to like such a magnificent place! After my post about driving the Iceland Ring Road, a lot of people asked me about how to visit Háifoss. The truth is, it’s not the […]
