RESORT REVIEW: ANGAMA MARA

Slade and I have been lucky to take a big trip together each year for seven years now, and we’ve tried to have varied experiences in each one. Africa has always been high on our destination list. After seriously considering our alternative for this year’s trip (Nepal), we settled on Africa and, as always, I enthusiastically dove into planning our itinerary.

PORTLAND HIGHLIGHTS

PORTLAND HIGHLIGHTS

Portland, Oregon is known for being quirky, artsy, open-minded and a little bit weird (okay, maybe more than a little). There’s something for everyone in this city. The downtown core is small and walkable, but there are plenty of surrounding neighborhoods that deserve some time too.

RESORT REVIEW: PETIT ST. VINCENT

RESORT REVIEW: PETIT ST. VINCENT

We chose Petit St. Vincent (PSV), a private island in St Vincent and the Grenadines, for our honeymoon in November 2018. We had always wanted a beach vacation for our honeymoon, and after much research and consideration (Mexico, Hawaii, Bora Bora, Cuba, Costa Rica…) we remembered this website that had helped us plan our Peru trip in 2017.

ORCAS ISLAND

ORCAS ISLAND

Situated directly between Vancouver Island and Washington State, Orcas Island is the largest island in the San Juans and, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful. With a size of just over 148 square kilometers, the island serves just the right amount of civilization while still providing a remote escape. 

OLYMPIC NATIONAL PARK

Another long weekend had arrived and Maria and I were looking forward to checking out our second National Park in Washington, Olympic National Park.
