As I sip my morning coffee ☕️ at home today I’m reminded of my morning coffee at @thecharleshotelmunich 💜 This was my first (yes, first) experience with an Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts booking…and it was glorious. I booked using my Amex Platinum card so I got the following benefits through Amex FHR: • $200 credit on the room cost • €100 food and beverage credit • Free breakfast • Room upgrade • Early check in and late check out I’m definitely a fan of Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts after this experience and would absolutely recommend this hotel if you’re staying in Munich. Have you tried our Amex Fine Hotels & Resorts? What we’re your favorite hotels and how was your experience? ⬇️ . . . #amexfinehotelsandresorts #thecharleshotelmunich #roccofortehotels #munichhotels #munichtrip #morningcoffee #coffeetime #sundaymood❤️ #sundaycoffee #amexplatinum #milesandpoints #pointsandmiles #creditcardperks #luxuryhotels #affordableluxury #luxtravel #luxurytravel #germanytravel #amazinghotels #hoteldeals #travelhacks #traveltricks #travelsmarter #affordableluxurytravel #europetravels
🏄♀️That hair flip tho…. ➡️ SHARE this post with a friend you live to travel with! If you visit Munich, Germany you need to go see the surfers. Yes, I said surfers. In the middle of a German city! 🤯 You’ll find these surfers riding waves in Eisbach River in Englischer Garten nearly every day of the year. The man-made wave is strong, so it’s not for beginners and the water is cold! There were about a dozen surfers there the day I visited and I was struck by how organized it all was. There was an unspoken understanding of how it worked and who was next in line. This is a definite must-do when visiting Munich. #munichsurfers #munichgermany #travelingermany #munichtrip #thingstodoinmunich #europetravels #europetrip #europeanvacation #surfers #travelguides #travelmore #awesometravel #wow #crazystuff #travelinspiration #travelingcouple #traveltheworld #visitgermany #germanytourism #visitmunich #cooltravel #unexpected #travelawesome #travelfamily #traveldestinations #coolplaces

Miraval Berkshires is a luxury wellness resort in western Massachusetts. What I discovered during my recent 2-night stay was that the true luxury of the @miravalresorts brand is the space, time, and guidance to truly focus on the present moment. This all-inclusive adults-only resort comes with a $175 per person per night resort credit that can be applied to activities or spa treatments so each guest can tailor their stay to their own individual interests. Come with me to explore what it’s like to stay at this fantastic resort! 💜 A huge thanks goes out to @miravalberkshires for hosting my trip. #miraval #miravalberkshires #miravalmoments #miravalresorts #luxurywellnesstravel #luxurywellness #luxurytravel #luxtravel #zentravel #zenaf #allinclusiveresorts #sparesort #theberkshires #mindfullness #lifeinbalance #relaxedliving #momswhotravel #weekendgetaway #couplesgetaway #weekendtrip #spavibes #vacationgoals #hyatt #travelwithme #travelwomen #girlsgetaway #usatravel #travelingwomen #massachusetts #beautifuldestinations
😍SAVE this post for vacation inspiration!! Miraval Berkshires is a laid back spa resort with a focus on wellness and creating balance. I was recently invited by @miravalberkshires to experience the resort for myself…here’s what I loved (and didn’t love) 💜All food and snacks are included. 💜Non-alcoholic drinks are included (soda, juice, smoothies, specialty coffee, tea) 💜Each guest gets a $175 per night resort credit to apply to spa treatments or activities 💜It’s all connected indoors so you can stay warm even when it’s cold outside. 💜It’s super laid back. I’m talking wear-your-bathrobe-and-slippers-to-dinner laid back. 💜There’s a great schedule of activities (both complimentary and paid) 💜It’s bookable with Hyatt points (if you need more Hyatt points, you can transfer from Chase) ❌ It’s expensive and there’s a 25% resort fee on top of the room rate 😮 Here’s the solution to that…book with Hyatt points! When you do this you won’t pay a resort fee! 🎉 . . . . . #miraval #miravalmoments #miravalresorts #miravalberkshires #luxuryresorts #sparesort #wellnesslifestyle #wellnessretreat #luxtravel #theberkshires #meditationretreat #zentravel #zenaf #laidbackluxury #relaxedluxury #girlsgetaway #spavacation #weekendgetaways #couplesgetaway #weekendtravel #momswhotravel #allinclusiveresorts #travelblogger #travelwriters #amazingtravel #hyatt #pointsandmiles #hotelpoints.

OMG! I am so excited to say that an article I wrote is in the May issue of @travelandleisure magazine!!😃 (like, the actual hold-it-in-your-hand print edition!)This has been a big career goal for me so it’s crazy that it actually happened. I want to say thanks to my editor @pbbrady1 and the entire team at T+L for working with me. I’m so excited to be included in The Hotels Issue. It’s crazy to think that 7 years ago I was a stay at home mom who was desperate for a creative outlet. Then I started a blog, then I started freelance writing, and today my name is in print in Travel + Leisure.

While 2,500 SkyMiles isn’t a windfall, every mile counts, and it’s best to know any way you can easily earn more miles for doing basically nothing. This guarantee only applies to SkyMiles members, and your SkyMiles number must be on the reservation to be eligible. You’ll be awarded 2,500 SkyMiles if your bag takes more than 20 minutes to make it to the carousel (the clock starts when the plane doors open). The guarantee doesn’t cover instances that are out of Delta’s control like weather or airport baggage system malfunction.
