Central Florida is home to one of the state's largest Colombian communities, and that means incredible arepas, bandeja paisa, empanadas, and fresh-baked pandebono all across Kissimmee and Orlando. These are my go-to Colombian restaurants and bakeries in the area, the spots I send friends and family to when they want the real thing.
Sick of paying 30 euros for a mediocre lunch with a parking lot view? Same.

Here are some of the most fun, unique, and interesting rental homes I've found along the way. (And these are mostly dream getaways, but I was pleasantly surprised at how many super-fun options I found that were within easy driving distance. They'd make for such a fun family reunion or staycation.) Note: This list contain cash back and affiliate links.

If you've ever wondered where I get inspiration for my home, this is it. I love relaxed coastal spaces that feel bright, cozy, and timeless (not overly beachy or full of seashells). Before I decorate or buy anything, I always start with these websites, creators, and resources to gather ideas and create a vision for my space. I love saving ideas that bring in natural textures, soft colors, and that relaxed “summer by the ocean” feeling.
My husband and I have loved traveling through Michigan and visiting new and beautiful places. It’s actually where we went on our honeymoon. Another trip we took was further north towards the Upper Peninsula area and Mackinac Island. We have ridden mountain bikes, taken hikes, gone to beaches, visited lighthouses, and just explored different areas. It’s been an adventure.

If Assisi has been on your heart like it has been on mine… especially with everything surrounding St. Francis of Assisi right now… this list is for you. With the 800th anniversary bringing more visitors than ever, I wanted to put together something that isn’t just “touristy,” but actually helps you experience Assisi in a slower, more meaningful way. These are the places I would personally choose—from peaceful stays where you can truly rest, to cozy spots for authentic Italian meals, to the sacred sites that make Assisi feel unlike anywhere else… especially the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. I also included quieter moments—places to step away from the crowds, reflect, and really take it all in… because if you’re coming here, it’s not just a trip. It’s something deeper. Whether you’re planning a pilgrimage, a faith-filled getaway, or just feel drawn to the simplicity and beauty of St. Francis… I hope this helps you experience Assisi in a way that stays with you long after you leave.
