Right after my husband and I got married back in 2011, we took an incredible honeymoon that changed our goals forever. It all started in Venice, Italy and it hasn’t stopped since. I absolutely head over heels fell in love with traveling.
By making travel a priority in our lives, we’ve been able to visit 17 countries and 100+ cities together.
This blog is a combination of everything I know; my background in journalism and marketing, plus my passion for travel and photography.
I don’t travel full time and wouldn’t want to. I’m happy having a home base and playing board games on the couch sometimes, ya know?
I work remotely doing marketing/advertising and everything that has to do with that world, and I dedicate a lot of time to this blog. My husband is a 9-5 engineer (think robots), but he helps me with the blog as much as possible.
We live in the beautiful city of Chicago. Have you been? You should come!
We love spending our downtime trying new restaurants and cafes in our hometown, watching comedies, fostering dogs, and dog sitting. Did I mention dogs?
When I’m not busy doing everyday life, I’m dreaming up new places to visit and planning some incredible trips. So, here I am sharing how we make it work, how you can make it work, and how a little careful planning can get you across the world.

Hi Annie! I have reviews of Airbnb’s in different city posts. I don’t have a post just for Airbnb reviews unfortunately. I will be writing about my favorite stays all over the world next week though. That post will include some Airbnb reviews. Keep an eye out for it! 🙂
