Spotlight: Voodoo Doughnut

When Tyler and I were visiting for the holiday in July 2019, I made sure we stopped for Voodoo Doughnut before we headed out to the Garden of the Gods. Are they the perfect hiking food?

A Weekend on Amelia Island

Amelia Island is located about 45 minutes north of Jacksonville, Florida, and it's the perfect secluded beach town. While Amelia Island is home to a few upscale hotels, the island is mostly residential and still has a lot of untouched natural Florida beauty to discover. With its proximity to Fernandina Beach, visitors to Amelia Island also have the luxury of exploring a quaint beachside town filled with amazing seafood, cute shops, and an active nightlife.

10 Great Eats in Tampa, Florida

As I’ve mentioned previously, I definitely make an effort to eat locally when I travel. For my recent visits to Savannah, Georgia, Charleston, South Carolina and Asheville, North Carolina, I did some extensive research to find great local restaurants.

These are the top 10 Tampa-local restaurants that I really enjoyed in the last year or so.

Girls’ Trip: 6 Days, 3 Countries

When my sister was graduating from college in 2018, I wanted to get her a really great gift. I ran a few ideas by my mom, like buying her graduation photos, but I found the ultimate gift in a Scott’s Cheap Flights email - cheap flights to London.

The Best Hidden Secret in Nashville

Located about 30 minutes outside of downtown Nashville, The Loveless Café is a famous southern-style restaurant that was previously a local motel from the 1950s. In 2004, local Nashville natives bought the property and renovated it to what we know and love today: The Loveless Café.

48 Hours in Amsterdam

Based on our scheduling, we only had 48 hours to spend in Amsterdam before we headed to Paris, France, for two days. This is absolutely not enough time to take in either city, but after getting a taste of all that Amsterdam has to offer, it inspired us to make a future return trip. If you only have a short time to spend in the capital of the Netherlands, these are my recommendations to make the most of your stay.
