Why Everyone will Love a Tennessee Vacation

Why Book a Tennessee Vacation During our recent Tennessee Vacation we started in Nashville and ended in the Smoky Mountains. One thing I realized about Tennessee travel is that there is a wide variety of things to do. We took in the music scene, ate way too much, wine-tasted, hiked, and so much more. There are heaps of posts out there about the food, music, art and more about Nashville. Therefore, when I was thinking about what I’d share with all of you lovely people, I realized I wanted to show all the ways that Tennessee is perfect for everyone.

Why You’ll Love a Mykonos Greece Trip Even if You Don’t Party

I’ve officially been to Greece twice and while I certainly love the less touristy islands but I still think Santorini and Mykonos are worth your time. I talk to so many people these days that say to skip them, but I disagree. No, I won’t take another trip to these islands but I’m definitely glad to have gone and was pleasantly surprised by my Mykonos Greece trip. Santorini was beyond gorgeous as expected, however, each one was perfect in its own way. The most surprising was Mykonos which is why I’m posting about it today. It’s known as a party island and so my expectations were a little low. I don’t think Mykonos gets enough love and is known too

The Best time to Visit the Australian Outback & One Tour You Need to Book

The Australian Outback is a huge part of the country. However, a lot people go to Australia and never see it. In reality, if you want to see the real Australia, then step away from the edges. Yes, the coast is gorgeous, yes the reef is amazing, yes the cities are lively, but the outback is where it gets interesting. The heart of the Australian Outback is Uluru: the largest single rock formation in the world. There’s more than just a giant rock in this area. Called “the red center”, you’ve got canyons, gorges, camels, all near the giant rock that is Uluru. This post may contain affiliate links. Which means I get a portion of the sales if you

10 reasons to visit Jamaica

The Best Reasons to Go On a Jamaica Trip & Which Tours are Worth Your Money

A friend and I recently took a Jamaica trip with a friend. We stayed in an all-inclusive resort, booked a couple of tours, and basked in the sun. It was lovely. I’ve never done an all-inclusive resort before because it’s really not how I like to travel. I’m usually the one that wants to get the full cultural experience, save money, and sleep wherever. However, I definitely think if you want to do the resort thing, this is the place for it. Everyone at the resort was Jamaican and like I said we went on a couple of tours to get us out of the resort. We stayed at the Jewel Grande and it was fantastic. They also had great

4 Amazing Australian Beaches and How to Visit Each One

Australian beaches were the fifth part of our 45 days around Australia.  If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read about the whole trip here. Part one was spent in Adelaide and Surrounds, part two in Perth and Surrounds, part three in Exmouth, Karijini, and Broome, part four in Broome to Darwin.

This part of the trip involved us revisiting our favorite beaches/islands, as well as hitting one new one.  To start, we hit up Moreton Island off of Brisbane. Next, we returned to Byron Bay and Noosa, which we loved during our first visit.  For that part of the trip, we did the Juicy camper van. To finish off, we returned to the Whitsundays; the Whitsundays have the best beaches in
