This moment wasn’t planned… but it felt meant to happen 🤍
I found out where our secret trip is earlier than expected — and the excitement is unreal. I only know the country, nothing else. No plans, no itinerary, just trusting the process and staying curious!
I’m keeping it a secret for now (yes, even from you 😌) but I’ll be dropping hints, sharing pieces of the prep, and letting you guess along the way before we go.
This trip already feels special — and we haven’t even left yet 🤍✨

Anyone else craving adventure and ready to travel?
I have been stuck within my state borders because of the pandemic, so naturally, I am itching to travel.
There has been one thing keeping my wanderlust at bay, virtual traveling! I know it doesn’t sound as exciting as packing a bag and getting out there, but I have been loving seeing new places worldwide. I have found places I never knew I wanted to travel to!
Here are my favorite ways to travel virtually right now!
Ariel America
It began with my dad turning this on during slow Sunday mornings and has turned into me finding episodes on YouTube with states I am eager to learn about. Ariel America is the perfect blend of telling their audience about the state’s nature, history, culture, landmarks, etc.! If you are interested in learning about the United States of America, check out Ariel America!
Rick Steves‘ Europe
Rick Steves’ Europe shows are fantastic! He is just a regular guy touring beautiful places all over Europe. He takes you along on realistic trips all over Europe. Some of my favorites have been the Greek Isles, Palermo, Sicily, and Southeast England. I find his show on YouTube! If you’re craving some European adventure, check out Rick Steves!
Down to Earth with Zac Efron
This show was unexpectedly great. It was incredibly informative and showed places I have had my eye on traveling to for awhile. I found it neat that the show focuses on finding healthy and more sustainable ways of living. If you’re looking for a unique way to virtually travel, check out Down to Earth!
Happy Traveling!
