Planning a trip to Ireland? I hope so, because it is one of my favorite travel destinations to date! My husband and I visited Ireland as part of a two week trip (we also spent time in England), and we absolutely loved it. I’m excited to share how we decided to spend our 4 perfect days in Ireland. (Note: We were technically in Ireland for 6 days, but I’m focusing on our non-full-travel days in this post.) I’ll mention the obvious: we did not see everything in Ireland. Not even close! When we planned our trip, we decided to take it somewhat slow. We didn’t want to spend each night…

36 Hours in Dublin
Are you considering a trip to Ireland? If so, I am so happy for you! My husband and I spent several days in Ireland as part of a two week trip to Ireland and England, and I absolutely fell in love with it. It was everything I dreamed of- and more! If you are planning to visit Ireland, you are probably planning on spending some time in Dublin. We personally wanted to spend as much time in the countryside as possible (specifically Killarney), but we did visit Dublin for a couple days near the end of our trip before taking the Stena Line back to England (where we finished our…

Are you considering spending a day in Bath? If you’re looking for the perfect city to explore in Southwest England, UK, Bath is the perfect choice!

We enjoyed the view from the top of the Bath Abbey, explored the beautiful architecture and rolling hills in Southstoke, got our history-fix at the Roman…

6 Restaurants to Eat Gluten-Free in Paris
Are you gluten-free (or san gluten, as the French would say) and looking for a list of restaurants to enjoy in Paris? I know that traveling with this allergy/sensitivity can be daunting. Some travel destinations are friendlier toward food allergies than others, and thankfully Paris definitely makes the list of the friendly destinations. I was pleasantly surprised at how many options I had on my trip to Paris last fall. You will find that the go-to gluten-free flour in Paris is buckwheat flour (although you can find other options as well). Before traveling to Paris last year, I did my research (like I always do!). Traveling with food allergies does…

5 Tips for Traveling Internationally with Food Allergies
Food allergies… they are a pain. Many people (myself included) get nervous when traveling (especially internationally) when food allergies are a part of their everyday concerns. But they don’t have to get in the way of your travels! And they certainly do not need to stop you from going on an amazing adventure! As someone who deals with this, I can attest to the fact there are few things as stressful as being in a foreign country, hungry, with no idea what to do about it. I’ve been in this situation too many times. Should I just go hungry? Should I cheat and eat something that I know will make…
