    Chichen Itza & Playa del Carmen | Mexico

         Playa del Carmen is an interesting one to write about. I nearly wasn’t going to bother at all, since I wrote about it last time I was there, and there’s honestly not that much to see and do.…

    Merida | Mexico

    Arriving in Merida late the night before after the long drive from Palenque, and only venturing out the hotel for food, didn’t exactly let us see much of the town right away! But that theme did sort of continue throughout…

    Hawaii Short Break

    I feel like I’ve seen images of Hawaii for as long as I can remember, thanks to the number of movies that feature it. Honestly, it wasn’t super high on my bucket list, as I associated it with over-tourism and…

    4 Days in Yosemite National Park | USA

    Towering mountains of stone, tumbling waterfalls dancing with rainbows, endless crystal lakes and giant, ancient sequoia trees. Yosemite might just be a little slice of paradise! One of the earliest National Parks in the USA, thanks in part to Scotsman…
