How to Use Google Flights’ Explore Tool

Sep 7, 2020
Katie
The way everyone uses Google Flights is not the way I make the most of it. I have talked about the $375 roundtrip tickets that Tyler and I booked to Copenhagen, a place we had not previously considered going and where we had one of the best dining experiences ever, but we didn’t just randomly search “Copenhagen” with some dates and hope for the best; we used the Google Flights' Explore tool.

36 Hours in San Francisco, California

Aug 31, 2020

Last August, I headed out west for an important work meeting, which gave me approximately 36 hours in San Francisco, California. I never miss an opportunity to squeeze some “vacation” out of work travel - also known as a “bleisure” trip - so I, along with two of my lovely coworkers, made the most of our day and a half in the city. If you’re short on time in San Fran, these are your must-dos and must-eats!

Spotlight: Grady Goat Yoga

There are many wonderful day trips from Tampa, but I have to say the GOAT is a trip to Grady Goat Farm for some Grady Goat Yoga. ;) Located about 25 minutes from downtown Tampa, this is a must-do activity for anyone who even remotely likes yoga or baby animals.

That Time When… We Got Free FC Barcelona Tickets

I came into the downtown Tampa office on a seemingly normal Wednesday morning and found that our office Slack channel was blowing up because, since Rakuten is currently an FCB sponsor, we had some tickets up for grabs for the game. I quickly texted my husband Tyler to see if he wanted to go - after all, our club seats would include dinner and drinks, but it did mean leaving work early and driving to Miami in just a few hours.

Where to Eat in Charleston, South Carolina

Jul 27, 2020
Katie
With two visits to the Holy City just this year, I’ve spent a lot of time researching great food in the area - and now that I’ve returned from Charleston for the second time, I can confirm that these places are some awesome options that won’t break the bank. If you find yourself in the city, I would recommend eating...

Is Blue Lagoon Worth It?

Jul 20, 2020
Katie
Blue Lagoon “was named one of 25 wonders of the world by National Geographic,” so we figured it was worth a visit. Considering I have now been there twice, I can confirm that yes, it was worth it - for me. However, I think there are several factors to consider before pre-booking your reservation.

That Time When… We Were Almost Mugged

Last September, my husband Tyler and I went with his parents to Puerto Rico. We stayed for a few days in Rincón, which is on the west coast of the island and known for its gorgeous beaches. Overall, we had an awesome time drinking from coconuts and sampling local delicacies, like stingray empanadas and mofongo. However, in a very scary moment on the trip, we also almost got mugged.
