Have you explored Maryland before? ⛵️🦀 I made a "Top 5 States" reel that went viral recently and got so much hate for it. 😂 I shouldn't be surprised, but who knew the most polarizing thing on the internet that day would be MY favorite states? Anyhow, Maryland (my home of 15+ years now) made the list, and here's one reason why—THREE major cities with SUPER different vibes are all within 45 minutes of me. And Annapolis is one of them. Want some tasty seafood with maritime vibes? Annapolis is for you. Additional notes... ❤️ Maryland invented the Orange Crush. Which is really just a Screwdriver with fizzy anything (Sprite, Prosecco, ginger beer...). 💛 Anyone else need like 29 drinks for every meal? 🖤 My last brand deal afforded me this piece of sh*t boat. (Just kidding. I'll need, like, two more before that bad boy's mine. 😉) #maryland #visitmaryland #annapolis #annapolismd #visitannapolis #summercocktails
Can anyone relate? 💁🏻♀️ Me (traveling): OMG, I’m SO exhausted. I canNOT wait to get home + sleep. Also me (home): OMG, I’m SO restless. What am I even DOING with my life? Sooo, when I’m at home, I meet up with fellow travelers, celebrate their travel books, and we all sit around and talk all things travel. 🤷🏻♀️ Massive congratulations to @jenonajetpane on her new book “12 Trips In 12 Months!” Great to catch up on her whirlwind book tour that took her to @greedyreads in Baltimore. 👏 LOVE surrounding myself with strong, independent women doing THEIR thing on THEIR terms—and, wouldn’t you know—we’ve got THREE right here. All solo-traveling, small-business-owning women out there KILLIN’ IT. (And @johnthecurioustraveler, who I love just as much. 😉) 👉️ Now, who’s grabbed the book?!? #travellover #ilovetravel #doyoutravel #travelblogger #travelwriter #travelbooks
Gimme a 🙋🏻♀️ if you’re over unnecessary drama, too. #reclaimingmytime #innerpeace #enlightenment #mindfulness #selflove #spiritualgrowth #healing #positivethoughts
What do YOU think? 🤔 A wise couple once said... "And then there is the most dangerous risk of all—the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later.” (That wise couple is @honeytrek... quoting Randy Komisar.) Yep. Camp Indie was a vibe. With all kinds of weirdos... just like ME. If you're looking to embrace life NOW through location independence (or figure out how to do it), @locationindie is for YOU. My first year at Camp and I was SOLD. PLUS, I had an amazing speaking engagement. AND an inflatable unicorn costume that didn't get NEARLY as much play as it should have. 🦄😆 #takelifebytheballs #letyourfreakflagfly #digitalnomad #remotework #locationindependence #contentcreator #digitalcreator #blogger #travellover

WOULD YOU ATTEND AN ADULT SUMMER CAMP? 💁🏻♀️ I’m here to tell you that Camp Indie = one big F*CK YES. (Also, this is my road trip version of a pre-flight libation... post-drive. Contrary to popular belief, I AM a reasonably responsible adult.) This year was my first Camp Indie and it did NOT disappoint. I will 1000% be back next year and YOU should know that 2025 tix are already on sale! Get ‘em while they’re hot, because they won’t last long. You snooze, you lose, sucka. #summercamp #summertime #summervibes #digitalnomad #remotework #freelance #locationindependent #connecticut #kentconnecticut
AMERICA!!! F*CK YEAH! 🇺🇸 Happy 4th to my fellow Americans. Hope everyone’s weekends were LIT AF. Also, “She was actually a HALF-American girl,” but any reason to inject a little Tom Petty into my day. Anyhow… That sinking feeling when a visitor wants to see the fireworks on the Mall. 🫥 And you KNOW you can’t deny them. ...Because it’s the 4th of July fireworks in our nation’s capital for Gawd’s sake. It would be like visiting Paris and not seeing the Eiffel Tower, right? But the truth is that the whole idea makes me almost break out in hives—the swampy heat, the crowds, the walking, the parking, the Metro... AND if you’re sitting RIGHT on the Mall, you CAN actually get a little smoked out and/or have flaming fireworks shrapnel falling on you catching your blankets on fire. (I speak from experience.) 🧨 So here are a couple helpful tips to make it as painless as possible. (And if you ARE the visitor, you’ll want to know these, too.) Save this for next year, and—hopefully—you’ll remember that you saved it. 😆 ⭐️ I found a rooftop bar that only charges $30(!!!) for 4th of July fireworks views. YES. If you’re from here, you know that places like The Vue will charge HUNDREDS. But Potomac Distilling on The Wharf is just $30. AND you get a welcome drink. Full plates of food ran less than $20, and drinks—well—standard DC prices at $16 per. No schlepping camping chairs or standing on bridges for an hour. 🙅🏻♀️ ⭐️ Try to hop on ONE Metro stop BEFORE the Smithsonian or Archives in whatever direction you’re traveling. You can at least try to grab a seat before the masses board. BONUS: The Metro was FREE after 6 pm this year and, weirdly, the locals were being extra kind to the tourists. (Maybe it was just some holiday spirit. 🤷🏻♀️) ⭐️ Stay a bit longer to catch the Old Town Alexandria fireworks show. And THEN some! Because there are a bunch going off all around the DC border. 👉️ LOCALS: What tips can you add? VISITORS: Do YOU wanna catch the show at least once in your life? #america #indepenceday #4thofjuly #nationalmall #washingtondc #thedistrict #fireworks #dc #mydccool
DRINKS WELL WITH OTHERS. 💁🏻♀️ All good things must come to an end, but what could POSSIBLY be the best way to end this trip? Randomly running into @diningtraveler at the airport and having a tasty send-off! 🥂 (Then having the automatic lounge doors close on you. 😆) I'm here to answer ALL your burning Basque country questions with an unfiltered travel review, SO here goes... 🤔 Would I come back? 1000% YES. 🤫 Would I recommend it to others? Also, 1000% YES. 🍷 Favorite drink of the trip: Txakoli. 👍️ Highlights: Txakoli, pintxos, new friends, old friends, $2 glasses of wine at Michelin star restaurants, AND... feeling SUPER safe wandering solo. 👎️ Lowlights: 3 flights, not enough time, not accessible by train, almost felt difficult to find an actual complete meal in downtown San Sebastian. (Not to be confused with Rioja Alavesa where we had multiple 8-course meals!) QUESTIONS? Lay 'em on me! #hosted #tbex #tbex2024 #tbexbasquecountry #spain #spaintravel #visitspain #sansebastian #riojaalavesa #visitbasquecountry #basquecountry #ilovetravel #doyoutravel
EXPERTS ADVISE MULTIPLE 8-COURSE MEALS BETWEEN WINE TASTINGS. 🤤 (Me. I’m the expert.) 💁🏻♀️ If you’ve been eyeing my recent @rioja_alavesa posts, just go ahead and save this one. Spain’s Basque Country is known for being the cradle of Spanish cuisine and is also actually the world’s largest exporter of white asparagus. Which is insanely delicious. 😋 So, when touring this incredible region, be sure to stop by the following spots for 8-course meals that offset all your wine (and then have some MORE wine when you’re there): 🍽️ @villalucialaguardia. Where we watched a 4D movie (YES), enjoyed a traditional dance, toured a museum and wine collection in their basement, AND topped the evening off with a FIFTY year old bottle of wine. Nothing short of amazing. 🍽️ @restaurante_amelibia. For incredibly gorgeous, colorful, and TASTY plates. I never knew vegetables could be this fresh, and I’d go back here a hundred times over. 🍽️ And, Medoc Alaves at @silkenvilladelaguardia. We were SO stuffed by the time we got here, but somehow, we managed to keep eating. #hosted #TBEX2024 #TBEXBasqueCountry #VisitBasqueCountry #spain #spaintravel #visitspain #foodie #foodporn #foodstagram
WHAT’S BETTER THAN WINE COUNTRY? 🍇🍷 Wine country + picturesque Spanish villages. Welcome to Labastida! Where the wine is cheaper than water and the views are priceless. #hosted #spain #visitbasquecountry #riojaalavesa #labastida #allthewine #TBEXBasqueCountry #tbexeurope2024
In Paris Spread over 75 acres, Jardin des Plantes is actually the main botanical garden in Paris, located in the famous Latin Quarter (5th arrondissement) near the Seine. Some of the top attractions worth visiting in Jardin des Plantes are the Menagerie, Natural History Museum, Alpine Garden, Labyrinthe, Rose Garden, and six greenhouses, just to name a few. This beautiful park is great for getting a glimpse of local life, far from the city’s tourist attractions. While most tourists in Paris flock to the Eiffel Tower to get a bird’s-eye view of the Paris skyline, many of them aren’t aware that there’s another tower in the city that actually offers an even better view
With talking pictures, debauchery posters, and a speakeasy to finish off your tour, it’s definitely one of the best things to do in Savannah, Georgia. Another one of my fav things to do in Savannah, Georgia is to stroll through Bonaventure Cemetery. And that makes it one of the best things to do in Savannah, Georgia! With all the available options, it’s hard not to include eating, drinking, and shopping as one of the best things to do in Savannah, Georgia.
The bridge wasn’t exactly what I’d expected from the photos, but I tried to get some nice photos out of it. Unfortunately, the main drag was filled with tourists and little shops, but just one road over, you got the same little houses minus the crowds. It was a super pretty monastery and all the locals have said we must go, but I’d seen so many monasteries at this point… Walked to the Ajuda Botanical Gardens of Belem from there. We walked through a couple of cool areas (Pink Street), but I was busy being a brat, and didn’t realize some of the spots we went through had much more to see than… what I saw.
Now, Philippe told us that Sintra, Portugal is actually a microclimate, but I didn’t truly understand what that meant until we got there. What it meant was that, while it’s 90 degrees every day in Lisbon, it’s cold, rainy, and so foggy Pena Palace is fairly famous and, if you admire travel photos at all, you’ve probably seen this one—a bright red and yellow tiered fairytale castle in the mountains of Portugal. The town of Sintra, Portugal—our first stop—is in the mountains and, periodically, in the little streets, they have intricate little fountains with spring water that you can just drink straight from.
