Stockholm took me by surprise. I was not expecting to love a city as much as I did, but it certainly wooed me.

Obviously, bags of candy are a draw for anyone (no, just me?), but the abundance of museums, restaurants, and walkability made for a great visit. Did I mention how clean and just plain beautiful it is? I am not usually one for visiting the same cities, but Stockholm is one I would return to in a heartbeat. I have unfinished business with the ABBA museum.

What we enjoyed during our time there:

🚢 Vasa Museum & Vrak Museum (we purchased the combo ticket)
🗡️Viking dinner at Aifur Krog & Bar
☕️ Pastries and coffee at Stora Bageriet
👟 Exploring Gamla Stan (Old Town)
🍬 Candy at Old Town Polkagriskokeri (thanks Steph)
🍭Creating our own bags of candy at the Coop’s
🍷Exploring Djurgården (so many restaurants and cafes along the water to try)
📷Fotografiska Museum
🐟Fish tacos at Dirty Taco

One of our favorite activities while in Lofoten was kayaking among the fjords. Our guide, Antonio, was incredibly patient with Leif as he threw hardball questions at him at a rapid pace, like, “Where are the narwhals?”

We booked a two-hour family ride with Lofoten Arctic Adventures. If you are planning on staying a few days in Lofoten, I would recommend scheduling it at the start of your stay in case you need to reschedule due to inclement weather or wind shifts.

Happy exploring!

Lofoten is known for its idyllic fishing villages, and Nusfjord is one of the best preserved. Walk through the village, visit the small museums, and stop at one of the bakeries or restaurants along the harbor. Plan for about two hours here to explore and grab something to eat before continuing your trip. Or, you can opt to stay at the hotel or fishing cottages around town.

Entry: 150 NOK per adult, children free

We enjoyed a slower pace for the last two days in Henningsvær. We’re in the middle of a two week road trip through Norway and Sweden, and this was the last stop in Lofoten before we start making our way back to Stockholm. After some long car days, followed by long adventuring days, it was nice to enjoy some down time in this cute village.

Restaurants & Cafes (that we enjoyed):
☕️ Henningsvær Lysstøperi & Cafe
🐠 Fiskekrogen
🥩 Vind Brasseri located at Henningsvær
Bryggehotell
🍨 MIX (also have reindeer hot dogs if that’s your fancy and an assortment of souvenirs and groceries)

🏺The town is filled with lots of great shops, and I picked up some mugs at Engelskmannsbrygga. You can also see into their pottery making room and on certain days, watch a demonstration.

🦅 There are so many options for wildlife treks, kayaking and more from here, as well as some challenging hikes (can also drive to nearby Svolvær to do the Fløya hike).

On the road again!

Located an hour from Catania, Ortigia made the perfect base to explore the eastern side of Sicily. We stayed in the heart of the old town, and though we were just a street away from Piazza Duomo, it felt quiet and secluded. Every morning, we strolled to a local cafe (different each day), grabbed our cappuccinos and croissants, and then set out for the day of exploration.

Restaurants we enjoyed:
🦐 L’Altra Isola Ristorante Siracusa
🐠 Pindaro Ristaurante & Bistro
🍷 Acca Punta (square views of Fontana di Diana)

Sights to See:
⛪️ Cathedral of Syracuse
🍷 Palazzo Borgia del Casale
⛲️ Fountain of Arethusa (sunset views)
🐟 Mercato di Ortigia
🪨 Neapolis Archeological Park of Siracusa
🏝️ Spiaggia di Cala Rossa
🏰 Castello Maniace
🚤 Explore the island by boat

Save for your trip to Ortigia!

The only thing certain in this military life is change and uncertainty, so when you find your people, you hold on tight and soak up every moment you can.

, thank you for bringing us all together, pushing us every day to be better humans, and planning a fantastic few days in the mountains. ❤️

Whirlwind trip to Paris

We made the most of our quick trip, blending in fun with some downtime.

Day 1: Late arrival meant ditching our museum plans and simply exploring Monmarte with an ice cream cone before our evening cabaret at La Nouvelle Eve.

Day 2: Versailles! We opted to go big and enjoy a lovely three-course lunch at Airelles before an afternoon tour of Versailles. After walking around Versailles for a few hours, we enjoyed one last drink with a view before taking the train back into Paris. With a quick stop at the Trocadero for obligatory Eiffel Tower photos, we ended the day with drinks and a light dinner at Terrass Rooftop.

Day 3: We woke early to get unobstructed photos of the Eiffel Tower and had the world’s most expensive cappuccinos at Emily’s (which, we all agreed, were not great, but the vibes were cool). Sadly, after that, we had to pack up and head to the train station, but we were all happy to not have to sit on the floor for seven hours going back, win!

10/10 would do it again!

1-5: Versailles
6-11 Airelles
12: Cathedral near Versailles
13-15: Monmarte
16-17: Eiffel Tower views from Rue de Université
18-19: Walking around near Rue de Université

Save for your Paris trip!

I’m often asked where is my favorite place I’ve ever traveled, and I always come back to Scotland. I’ve visited four times, and feel like I have barely scratched the surface.

If you’re planning a trip, here are a few not-to-miss spots (many on or around Skye). And if you want the full route, you can grab my 10-day itinerary on my site.

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Glasgow: Hidden Alley, Pollok County Park (highland cows here), dinner at the Buttery
🌺 Luss: my favorite stop between Glasgow and the Isle of Skye. Browse the General Store there for cute souvenirs.
🚤 Oban: An adorable fishing town with greats shops and quaint b&b’s. A jumping off point to the Hebrides.
🚂 Glenfinnan Viaduct: During the summer months, you can glimpses of the Jacobite Express Steam Train (get in place by 10:45) or opt to ride it.
🏰 Eilean Donan Castle: One of Scotland’s most iconic castles, worth a visit when you go to Skye. The best viewpoints are past the castle on the left.
🌺 Portree: The capital town and main village on the Isle of Skye with colorful buildings accenting the water.
🏰 Dunvegan Castle: Scotland’s oldest continuously inhabited castle. Stunning grounds, boat/kayak tours of the loch leave from the back (schedule in advance).
🥾 Old Mann of Storr: This 3.8 km out and back hike has spectacular views from the top. Great family hike.
🐑 Neist Point Lighthouse: There are few options for viewing, from the parking areas, walk up and to the right for faraway views looking down, or opt for the 2.2 kilometer out and back trek (usually among sheep) to see it up close and personal. The scenery around Neist is spectacular.
🏰 Ballindoch Castle & Gardens: Construction started in 1542 and it was built as a home and fortress. Today it remains a home of the Macpherson-Grant Family and a busy working estate.
🦌 Cairngorm National Park/Reindeer Herd: For families, this national park has so much to offer, and our favorite was walking with the reindeer herd.
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Edinburgh: Of course you can’t miss the Royal Mile, but I loved Victoria Street and Circus Lane first thing in the morning.
