Hey there! My name is Dani and I am an avid traveler. In addition to being the Lead Community Manager for Perlu, I also run my own travel blog.
After living abroad in Australia for 16 months, I developed a desire to see the world and write about it! My blog is focused on giving people tips and tricks to save money and get the most out of their traveling experiences.
I have a strong belief in being authentic and honest. All photos used are my own, with occasional pieces from guest contributors and Instagram posts. I only write about places that I have actually visited and experiences I've had on my own - and will be clear if something was simply a recommendation!

Hey y’all! Since we aren’t able to travel these days, I’ve started ‘traveling’ around my neighborhood lately. One of my besties meets me (and sometimes the hubby) in the driveway to come along, but don’t worry - the dog leashes are six feet long, so it’s an easy gauge to know we are a safe distance apart! I’ve got to say, these walks definitely help my mental and emotional heath. It’s hard not to let the anxiety build up with everything going on. How are you holding up? What are you doing to keep your sanity while being quarantined? I’ve been watching the Harry Potter movies constantly on @syfy alllll week long.

Hello everyone! It’s a strange world we are living in right now. I’ve taken this opportunity to give my home office a fresh facelift - and the timing is great, because I just got my new Victoria metro map in the mail from @thecameragraphic. It’s the perfect addition for my work space since I can look up and reminisce about the time I spent living in Melbourne. I can’t wait to print some old photos to put around the frame. Jake is the artist at The Camera Graphic, and he does a great job. The best part? It’s an online shop, so right now you can order from home! Get yourself a map of a place you’ve visited, or get one for a friend to remind them of a time they spent living in another city. So how are you holding up? What’s your home office look like? Tag me in your photos so I can see them! On a personal note, I’m lucky to work for @perlusocial, a subcompany of @terakeet, and we can continue to work remotely at full capacity. My heart goes out to all the people who have lost their jobs and also those who are on the front lines - healthcare providers, delivery drivers, those in the food industry, and more - my husband included! Just remember that we are all in this together and we will get through! In the meantime, I’ll probably be sharing some flashbacks to keep us all inspired. #sponsored #remotework #workfromhome #workfromhomelife #homeoffice #thecameragraphic #minimalistmetromap #metromapart #linemapposter #proudtobeftb #femaletravelbloggers #bloggerlife #blogginglife #travelblogger #workingremotely #visitmelbourne #melbourne #melbourneaustralia #minimalistart #australia #studyabroad #coronavirus #quarantine #harrypotter #wanderer #wewillgetthroughthis #doyourpart #girlswhotravel #girlslovetravel #wanderingwomen
Throughout the winter months, the Inn at Cooperstown holds a monthly Bed & Brew package along with Ommegang Brewery. is Cooperstown/Otsego County Tourism Board, The Inn at Cooperstown, and Ommegang Brewery for hosting my husband and me during our weekend in Cooperstown. About The Inn at Cooperstown Owned by Marc & Sherrie Kingsley since 2003, The Inn at Cooperstown is everything you’d hope for in an inn. When you book your Bed & Brew weekend in Cooperstown, you’re encouraged to bring some beer to share with the other guests.
This past weekend @gocooperstown hosted my husband and me for the perfect getaway - and a nice way to celebrate Valentines Day and our wedding anniversary. Most people know how much I love bed and breakfasts - and The Inn at Cooperstown is no exception! The owners, Marc & Sherrie, are some of the kindest people I’ve ever met. They immediately made us feel at home - and Ryan at the front desk was just as amazing! We were lucky enough to experience their Bed & Brew package that they run with @breweryommegang. Friday night was a beer share at the inn, the perfect ice breaker for the weekend. Some couples were there for the first time, while others were back for their second or third bed & brew weekend - and they came from several different states. After breakfast at the inn and some free time to explore Cooperstown on Saturday, we took the trolley to Ommegang for a VIP tour, tasting, and gourmet dinner and beer pairing. Let me tell you that this was some of the best food I’ve ever had. The staff of Ommegang was also so generous. It was an incredible and unique weekend and I already can’t wait to do it again. Here’s the best part - they are offering $50 off the March Bed & Brew weekend if you book it by February 24th (call 607-547-5756 to redeem the discount). . . . #gocooperstown #ommegang #ommegangbrewery #craftbeer #bedandbreakfast #newyorkonly #onlyinnewyork #proudtobeftb #girlswhotravel #femaletravelbloggers #femaletraveler #traveltolive #iloveny #weekendgetaway #letsgo #seetheworld #localguides #inn #valentinesday #letsguide #thattravelblog #exploremore #travelblogger #wanderlust #newyorkblogger #sponsored #beerpairing #brewerytour #gourmetdinner #foodiesofinstagram
Unlike most places you go snorkeling, Silfra doesn’t have many fish, so that’s not what draws people in. How to Book a Tour to Snorkel in Silfra Silfra is located in Thingvellir National Park, and snorkeling is only accessible with a guide. As I mentioned, make sure that you’re wearing thermals under your clothing and you’ve got warm hats, gloves, and boots – and maybe a change of socks – While not necessarily the cheapest thing to do in Iceland, snorkeling in Silfra in the winter is something I’ll remember forever.
Happy Valentine’s Day to my forever love and favorite travel partner. Through our travels I’ve embraced his love for craft beer and he loves finding street art with me - like these spots in @wynwoodmiami! It’s so important to find a person who balances you out and teaches you to appreciate and learn about new things. I’m excited to be celebrating this weekend with my hubby down in Cooperstown. Where will you and your loved one be celebrating? . . . #valentine #valentinesday2020 #happyvalentinesday #truelove #travelcouple #lovetravel #miami #wynwood #wynwoodmiami #visitmiami #onlyinflorida #visitflorida #streetart #streetartchat #proudtobeftb #girlswhotravel #loveFL #letsgo #seetheworld #localguides #letsguide #thattravelblog #foundinmiami #streetartofficial #wanderlust #wynwoodwalls #miamistreetart #loveflorida
Even better, on our recent trip to London, we got to see all three: Buckingham Palace, Windsor Castle, and Horse Guards Parade. Even after the royal family moved into Buckingham Palace in the 1800s, the Royal Guard remained at St. James’s Palace. When: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays at 11am Similar to the ceremony at Buckingham Palace, Windsor’s Changing the Guard Because the ceremony is held inside the gates of Horse Guards Parade, it is crucial to arrive early, as the entrance tunnel gets very crowded, and then closed off shortly before the ceremony starts for the cavalry to get through.
Is there a more iconic photo to take in London? I’ve been working on an article about the changing of the guard ceremonies in London (stay tuned - it’ll be live tomorrow!), so I’ve been reminiscing about my trip from the fall. What’s your favorite cliché photo you’ve taken on your travels? . . . #london #visitlondon #instalondon #femaletravelbloggers #letsgo #sheisnotlost #travelgirlsgo #girlslovetravel #traveltagged #explorelondon #exploremore #darlingescapes #wanderlust #travelblog #neverstopexploring #lovetraveling #timeoutlondon #passionpassport #secretlondon #prettylittlelondon #londonuk #unitedkingdom #thattravelblog #phonebooth #classic #takemeback #rememberwhen #adventureawaits #visitengland #visituk
Obligatory selfie in Times Square! Last week I had a whirlwind trip to NYC for a work meeting and grad school alumni event. Between the two events, I had just enough time to snap a few photos at the heart of Manhattan. I can’t explain it, but every single time I’m in Times Square, it feels magical. It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve been there (dozens), I’m always in awe of it all. What do you think? Is Times Square special? Or is it overrated? #proudtobeftb #femaletravelbloggers #newyorkonly #onlyinnewyork #girlswhotravel #femaletraveler #traveltolive #womenwhotravel #girlslovetravel #letsgo #seetheworld #localguides #letsguide #thattravelblog #exploremore #travelblogger #wanderlust #newyorkblogger #globelletravels #sheisnotlost #timessquare #manhattan #iloveny #ilovenyc #bucketlisttravel #ladiesgoneglobal #dametraveler #wanderful #cityphotography #citylife
