Exploring Ireland: From Dublin to Cliffs of Moher

I had another opportunity to work remotely from London by tagging along on my boyfriend’s work trip. I don’t think I’d ever been in the U.K. in the dead of summer and the dry, sunny weather was a game changer! We spent a lot of time walking the streets and soaking in the sun instead […]

The beauty of Porto, Portugal

I visited Portugal way back in September and then life came at me quick and the back half of 2023 really got away from me. We’ve been prepping for yet another cross-country move, taking care of a sick pupper and going on lots of small trips around the Midwest. Sitting down to recap our week […]
