Czech Republic - 2019
Czech Republic - 2019

Prague and the rest of the Czech Republic has so much to offer. The food there is delicious—loads of dumplings and potatoes with savory meats—and the landscapes are delightful. Going there alone aside from my 10 month old was also easier than I expected, everyone was helpful and kind when I needed assistance, and Prague is not hard to get around. I mainly wore my son, though, as the streets are cobbled and uneven and a stroller may have been difficult to push.

Las Vegas, Nevada - 2018

Sin City, where what happens there stays there, is often sought out for the exorbitant number of casinos and gambling available, or for its cost effective, unique wedding locale. It has so much more to offer than that though! With one of the largest convention centers in the world, Vegas might have the allure of attending one of the many expos and conventions held here. Las Vegas also has so many shows and entertainers on hand, and is within a quick drive of the Hoover Dam and a longer drive of the Grand Canyon. There's no end to the things you can see and do in Las Vegas!

Iceland - 2017

Iceland is one of the most picturesque places I've been.It has fjords, mountains, glaciers, active volcanoes, geothermal springs and baths, and waterfalls galore! It also has great folklore with trolls, giants, dragons and fairies. It's a great place for solo trips for women, too, as it is one of the safest countries in the world (last year there were a grand total of 2 murders in the whole country). During the summer, there is nearly 24 hour daylight and during the winter there is nearly 24 hour darkness/twilight. In the winter, it is great location to see the Northern Lights.
