Portugal

Day one The name of the game is: travel until you almost die. The alarm went off at 4:00 am. Someone please tell my husband how fucking horrendous the iPhone alarm is. Good God, I’d rather get woken up by getting hit in the face with a frying pan. After the pleasant sound of that,Continue reading “Portugal”

Turkey

My husband has the travel bug as bad as I have it, but sometimes he plays hard to get and makes me beg to go visit certain countries. Turkey was one of those places, he insisted that he didn’t think it was a safe place to visit and he was just very stubborn about skippingContinue reading “Turkey”

Peru

Day One The most stressful travel day of my entire life. Holy fucking American Airlines, man. We got to the airport 1.5 hours before departure and when we check in at the airline counter, the precious little AA employee immediately tells us that we have the wrong COVID test; lovely. According to her, our testContinue reading “Peru”

Let me tell you, this place is everything you see in those desktop pictures that look so fake and so photoshopped. You are stuck on an island, which sounds scaryContinue reading “The Maldives”

Iceland

Seven days in Iceland, you’re probably thinking “No way!” and I’m over here like: “Bro, it can be done”. On a side-note, Hater (my husband) is a little bit more practical when it comes to planning trips, he would gladly buy a plane ticket that includes eight layovers if it saved us $20, while IContinue reading “Iceland”

Athens, Santorini and Mykonos

First post!! This is the big one, and the honor goes to Greece. Let me be clear about this, even though it is definitely in my top ten, it is NOT my favorite place in the world. That is a whole different convo, and a very controversial one when it comes to discussing it withContinue reading “Athens, Santorini and Mykonos”
