Ireland is a beautiful country with lots to see! We did an 8-day trip with a few stops Dublin -> Cork -> Dingle -> Doolin (Cliffs of Moher) -> Back to Dublin. Below are our favorite things we had done in each place. Make sure you make car reservation in advance and request an automatic car if you aren't used to driving manual! Roads are narrow and consider how much daylight you will have when you are booking your trip

sept 26-28th - we made the BEST OF IT SHOCK YA BOTTOM - i met some of the greatest locals here - also is everyone just inherently funny here or do we just have the same sense of humorI swear, Richmond has that effortlessly creative energy — vintage shops, killer food, and people who are way too funny for their own good. I met some of the best locals here, and I’m starting to think humor just runs in the water. Whether you’re here for the weekend or plotting a full soft-launch relocation, these are the spots that made me fall for RVA fast. Richmond, you surprised me. Met the funniest people, ate unreal food, and felt right at home in 48 hours flat.

I Love it all, but it doesn't just have to be the generic experience. Pretty much stay in the bougie place and eat the rich food.

Nice travel accommodations for families of 5 or more. It is hard sometimes to find places for more than 4 people without splitting up the family.

I’ve never been a huge fan of country music, so when I moved to Nashville, everyone was confused. But there’s so many places that aren’t overly country on Broadway! These places are fun and full of amazing talent.

We visited Amsterdam in April 2022 for three nights. This is my ultimate travel guide for what to expect, where to visit and where to eat out on a budget. Overall I think we paid around £700 for both of us for the weekend which I think is pretty good! Food & drink over there was as cheap as you make it, dine fancy pay more go to McDonald's pay less. Honestly this is one of my favourite places in the world and would go back in a heart beat!!!

Singapore is a one-of-kind blend of Western and Asian culture that is expertly done. Through stunning skyscrapers and incredibly architectural designs, this modern city is stunning to walk through with manny activities geared towards tourism. However, it also comes with rich Asian cultures (both South and East Asian) and hosts incredible restaurant, street stalls and charming neighbourhoods. A Singapore city break is a must do, and somewhere that I truly loved!

As someone who's little is 5 and has been on more plane rides than most of my colleagues, I have become a pro at traveling with littles. Traveling with kids is never easy, I always say it's not a vacation, it's just parenting in a different state or country. These are the things I have found to be must haves when traveling with littles.
