There are so many amazing places to see in the United States! I definitely haven’t seen them all but I’m making my way down the list. In today’s blog post I’m sharing 10 travel destinations that I have visited in the past couple years!

Over Thanksgiving, my family and I stopped by Joshua Tree National Park on our way to Palm Springs. I have always wanted to see Joshua Tree so I was super excited to finally get the chance. I can’t even describe what a beautiful, magical place Joshua Tree is. It looked like a place not out of this world… like Aliens put it there or something lol! We didn’t get to see everything the park had to offer because we were only there for a day but I wanted to share my favorite spots that we did see.
Over Thanksgiving, I flew to Phoenix, AZ, where my parents have retired to spend Thanksgiving with my family! My parents had a hotel deal in Palm Springs for a week so after Thanksgiving we drove there from Phoenix so that I could enjoy a couple of days in Palm Springs with my parents and sister. I had never been to Palm Springs before so I was super excited to check it out! I had a few places I definitely wanted to check out, some of which were closed due to Covid, but it was still fun. I’m sharing all of the spots I loved in this blog post!

The Best Murals in Nashville – Nashville Murals Guide
By Esperanza on August 13, 2020
I’m so excited to share this blog post with you guys especially because I have been working on it for several months now lol! I’m obsessed with cool murals and there are so many fun ones in Nashville so I knew I just had to make a Nashville Mural Guide. I’ve broken down the murals into neighborhoods to make it easier for those of you who are visiting the city and are unfamiliar with the areas. It makes it easier if you know which ones are close together when you are planning out your travel itinerary!
We decided to take our first road trip since moving to Nashville to Memphis, TN, about a 3 hour drive from Nashville! Both Schyler and I were really interested in visiting this city because of the music history there. Blues music originated in Memphis so there is a ton of music influence everywhere you go there and of course it was the home of the famous rock star Elvis Presley! We had such a fun time in Memphis and I found tons of cool spots for photos while visiting the city which I’m of course sharing in this blog post with you guys.
On our recent trip to Europe, my sister and I decided to take a day trip to Ghent from Brussels, Belgium. Ghent is a small, Belgian city about 30-45 min outside of Brussels by train, so it was perfect for a day trip! The city is very walkable and it has so much character! Even on a rainy day, we were able to see a lot of what the city had to offer. It’s a beautiful, medieval city with tons of hip boutiques, coffee shops, and restaurants. We absolutely loved it! It actually reminded me a little bit of Portland, OR where I currently live. Both cities are very unique! I wanted to share some of the spots we visited and restaurants that we ate at for those who might be interested in visiting Ghent but don’t know where to start.

By Esperanza on September 10, 2019
Luxembourg is a very small country that borders France, Germany and Belgium. On our recent trip to Europe my sister and I decided to take a train from Cologne, Germany to Luxembourg City (about 4 hours and 30 min) where we stayed for a few days. It’s a beautiful city with a lot of French influence in it’s architecture and gardens. We absolutely loved it! In this blog post I will be sharing places to see, where to stay, and restaurants to eat at.

Instagrammable Places in Amsterdam
By Esperanza on September 3, 2019
Amsterdam is an incredibly unique city with something beautiful to see around every corner. From the canals lined with house boats, flowers, and bikes to the stunning dutch architecture, it truly is a Instagrammer’s dream! This was my second time visiting the city but my first time visiting Amsterdam with my sister. Rocio has always wanted to visit Amsterdam so it was really cool re-discovering the city through her eyes and exploring areas I didn’t get to see on my last trip. We took some really fun shots so I decided to put together an Instagram guide for Amsterdam! In this blog post, I am including Instagrammable places and restaurants.

Staying in a Modern Cabin with Getaway
By Esperanza on August 30, 2019
Earlier this summer Rocio, Indio, and I got to stay in the cutest Getaway cabin near Mt. Adams in Washington! I had seen these cabins all over Instagram and Pinterest so I was really excited to stay in their new Washington campground. It was only about an hour and a half outside of Portland so it was the perfect weekend trip! The campground is full of these amazing modern cabins.
