Brussels was the first European city we flew in to together. It will always hold a special place in our heart as the first stop on our Honeymoon. The chocolates, the fries, the beautiful main square all struck us as exceptional. We were pleasantly surprised in just how much we love reminiscing on our stay … Continue reading Brussels & Bruges

Portugal
We truly love Lisbon. Maybe it was our apartment, a loft with a perfect walkable location. Maybe it was the neighborhood, in the heart of Bairro Alto, a local nightlife and food hotspot.

Rhode Island
Believe me when we tell you, Rhode Island is a hidden gem. The smallest state always slipped past us unnoticed up until this recent Spring trip, but we now both rank Newport at the top of the list of cities we need to revisit.
