Amsterdam embodies the term “open minded”. As a city they excel at easy travel, picturesque views and quick access to any number of wonderful museums. The architecture in Amsterdam pays homage back to the city’s 17th-century Golden Age and helps preserve a unique history. As a place to travel, Amsterdam provides all of the experiences you could want and is easy to visit by air or by train. The canal systems, bicycle paths and narrow houses lend a special atmosphere to a large city that can also feel inviting like a small town. Fun Fact: Did you know that bicycles outnumber people in Amsterdam? ___________________ Check out the "Transit & General Info" section at the bottom to see tips for getting around the city & exploring Amsterdam at an affordable price. See "Day Trips Worth Considering" if your trip leaves you with extra time for exploring beyond the city limits. ____________________ I recommend visiting Amsterdam while in the Netherlands to feel the history of the city in contrast to its more modern cousin, Rotterdam.

Rotterdam has so much to offer! Here are 9 stops I recommend. Walk through the city to find each of these sites, or shorten the distance by biking or using public transit.

These are all the places I love to share with my Italian friends and family who come to visit. 🤩 Like every Scandinavian city, the weather can be very mutable, so be sure to dress accordingly with many layers that can be taken off if needed. And always remember: There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes 😄 I have added a section of places I love that are subjected to seasonal openings, I specify it in the guide 😉 There could be many many other places worth of being included, but these are my faves :D

This is a guide to the Danish capital from a local's perspective. We're serving you the must-sees mixed in with our local favorites - the treatment that until now, we only gave our visiting friends and family!

As one of the countries with the highest daily consumption of coffee, Danes certainly know how to roast their beans, and Denmark is, without a doubt, the right place to appreciate a good cup of Joe. With that said, here are a few carefully handpicked favourites to satisfy your caffeine cravings. Keep in mind: ◾ Oat milk is a widespread dairy-free alternative, so don't hesitate to state your preference if you fancy a caffe latte or a flat white. ◾ Copenhagen tops as one of the most expensive cities in Europe. Prices range approximately from DKK30 ($4.50/4€) for a filter coffee to DKK50 ($7.50/7€) for a caffe latte. Make sure to budget accordingly. ◾ Most places offer great food options. Let yourself get tempted by the squishy sourdough buns with cheese and butter or the mouthwatering pastries!

I'm Maeve and I'm 50% Irish (hence the Gaelic name haha). I have visited Ireland at least once a year of my 26 years and to no surprise, it's my absolute favorite place on earth! My family is primarily from the Shannon and South-East regions of Ireland. My mom and her three brothers were raised in Limerick, my granny was born and raised in Limerick City, and my grandad was born and raised in Cahir, Co. Tipperary. Like many Irish families, we have relatives spread out across the country too. I know Ireland pretty well for never having actually lived in the country long-term. I grew up spending 8-weeks of my summer in Spanish Point Co. Clare with a bunch of my cousins---just as my mom and granny did when they were younger. When the weather was great we played in the grass, swam in the sea, milked cows, rode horses, and just lived outside all day long. But there were weeks when it felt like the rain never stopped and I can guarantee that 6+ stir-crazy kids were a nightmare to take care. As a result, our parents would take turns going away on overnights or mini staycations within Ireland. Ireland is majority lush, green, rolling hills and winding country lanes. There is so much to see and do. However, just because you'll likely spend your days in your wellies trekking through the countryside, there is NO need to forfeit the finer things in life when it comes to your accommodation. Here's a guide to 10 luxurious hotels across Ireland perfect for a couple's getaway. The majority of places my family or I have visited ourselves and the others are on my travel wishlist. As always, I'm happy to help you plan a custom itinerary for your trip to Ireland! Just reach out to me directly (:

The ones you won't find necessarily find as recommendations in Lonely Planet or by your local tourist office. As someone who's lived in Dublin for 25 years, these are just some of my favourite bars and pubs in the capital. From high-end cocktails in swish surroundings to creamy pints in grungey locals; from craft beers in hipster joints to fine wines in cosy cellars - the city is awash with vibey and quirky places to have a drink or two, and maybe some decent food. Or perhaps some Sunday jazz. The options are endless. Spoiler alert - only one of them is in Temple Bar...

The Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful coastal routes in the world.
