When Oliver and I were planning our East Coast Australia itinerary, the one non-negotiable was visiting the Whitsundays, and obviously, that meant Whitehaven Beach. I’d seen the photos of crystal-clear water and perfectly swirled white sand and just knew I had to see it with my own eyeballs. Oliver had already been there a few…
Last year, I turned 30, and since Oliver and I were living in Australia, we figured, what better excuse to have my family fly over from Texas and celebrate? I mean, it’s only a 27-hour flight or something like that, ha! But they were more than happy to hop across the globe for an East…
Before heading to the island you should know that Caye Caulker is tiny. At just 1.5 square miles, the whole island is walkable, and with no cars (just golf carts and bikes), life moves at an easy, sun-soaked pace. But don’t let the size fool you—where you stay can make or break your trip. When…
Caye Caulker is the kind of place where you can’t help but fall in love with the laid-back vibes, the turquoise waters, and, of course, the unforgettable snorkeling. I’m not exaggerating when I say this was the best snorkeling I’ve ever done! Located in the Belize Barrier Reef, it’s seriously epic. We booked our tour…
Caye Caulker might be tiny, but when it comes to diving, it packs a serious punch.

Whether you’re into wall dives, shark encounters, or just cruising through coral gardens, this is one of the best…
Finding the perfect place to eat has always been a double-edged sword. On one hand, I spend hours reading reviews, scrolling through menus, and overanalyzing Google ratings like it’s my job. On the other hand, I almost always end up at the best spots. So was it really wasted time? (Absolutely not.) Me and my…
Backpacking through Mexico and Central America is one of my greatest joys—and also one of the biggest pains in the ass. Last year, I went on a girls’ backpacking trip with some of my best friends. We knew we wanted to explore Quintana Roo, but then we saw this dreamy little island in Belize, Caye…
Caye Caulker seriously took me by surprise. A couple of my friends had visited and raved about it, so when my three girlfriends and I planned a three-week backpacking trip, we decided to spend a week on the island. Let me tell you—I will NEVER forget this trip. From the best snorkeling I’ve EVER done…
I went to New York twice last year for long weekends, once in late summer and again in winter. And, of course, I loved it. But here’s the thing: I’ve been to New York quite a few times now, and every time I try to plan a trip, I end up scrolling through blog posts…
If you’re anything like me, food is one of the best ways to experience a new place—and Berat did not disappoint. Known as the City of a Thousand Windows, this UNESCO World Heritage site offers more than just stunning Ottoman architecture and cobbled streets—it’s also a hidden gem for food lovers. During my time in…
