🌿🐒 Iquitos & The Peruvian Amazon 🐒🌿

Deep in the Peruvian jungle along the Amazon tributaries near the Tahuayo River, I experienced one of the most unforgettable adventures of my life. From the moment we landed in Iquitos until the moment we departed, the team at Tahuayo Lodge took incredible care of us. I would recommend this lodge to anyone wanting an immersive and authentic Amazon experience.

The lodge itself is built over the water, with huts connected by wooden walkways and surrounded by the sounds of the jungle. Falling asleep to rainstorms, frogs, insects, and distant wildlife was unbelievably peaceful. Each evening after delicious fresh meals, our guides and biologists helped us plan the next day’s excursions.

Every day brought new adventures including birdwatching, piranha fishing, riverboat tours searching for monkeys, night excursions for nocturnal wildlife, cultural visits, and hikes through the terra firme rainforest searching for poison dart frogs. One of my favorite experiences was swimming with the famous pink dolphins of the Amazon.

The biodiversity was beyond anything I imagined. We saw monkeys with babies, sloths, macaws, toucans, caiman, tarantulas, poison dart frogs, parrots, hummingbirds, bats, butterflies, and so much more. The guides were incredible at spotting wildlife hidden deep within the jungle.

The Amazon is hot, humid, wild, beautiful, and deeply humbling. Between the wildlife, jungle thunderstorms, colorful fresh food, and the kindness of everyone we met, this became a once in a lifetime journey I will never forget. I already dream of returning someday with my family. 💚

🇵🇪 Cusco, Aguas Calientes & Machu Picchu, Peru 🇵🇪

I am fresh off the plane from an unforgettable women’s trip with .adventure to Peru, and my heart is still somewhere in the Andes.

To begin our adventure, we started in Cusco and travelled by van and train through the breathtaking mountains to Aguas Calientes, also known as Machu Picchu City. Along the way, we stopped at a few incredible Incan sites, each one offering its own glimpse into the rich history and culture of the region. From the moment we arrived, it felt like stepping into another world, one filled with color, history, culture, and unbelievable natural beauty.

It is nearly impossible to describe the majesty of Machu Picchu and the surrounding mountains. The lush green peaks seemed endless, while soft clouds wrapped themselves around the mountaintops like blankets drifting through the sky. We were blessed with beautiful sunshine that made the ancient stone city glow against the dramatic landscape. It absolutely lived up to its reputation as one of the Seven Wonders of the World.

Walking through the ruins, learning about the history and culture of the Incan people, and simply standing among such wonder was a deeply moving experience. Every path and every stone seemed to carry stories from centuries past.

Back in the quaint town of Aguas Calientes, the streets were alive with celebration during the First of May holiday processions. Music filled the air while colorful shops overflowed with handcrafted gifts and treasures to bring home to loved ones.

One of the most unique experiences was enjoying traditional Incan massages using coca leaves and herbal lotions meant to relieve stress, restore energy, and rejuvenate tired muscles after long days of exploring. It felt grounding, peaceful, and deeply connected to the traditions of the region.

And of course, the food was unforgettable. Every meal was vibrant, fresh, and bursting with flavor, a beautiful reflection of Peru itself.

Peru is a place that awakens every sense. A destination filled with beauty, resilience, history, and spirit that stays with you long after you leave.

🇬🇧 London, England 🇬🇧

London is a place I have returned to time and time again, and each visit feels just as special as the first. There is something about the pace of the city that I absolutely love, especially in the spring when everything feels fresh and full of life.

While some say it is hard to catch a sunny day, I have been lucky to experience London bathed in sunshine, with flowers in full bloom and the parks coming alive with color. Wandering through the gardens near Buckingham Palace, watching the ducks glide across the water, is one of my favorite past times.

There is a beautiful balance here between history and modern life. The guards stand in their traditional posts, a timeless sight, while the city hums with energy all around them. That blend of old and new is part of what makes London so captivating.

Some of my favorite meals have been here, especially ducking into a cozy British pub for a warm savory pie and a refreshing cider. The city is also home to some of my favorite museums, each one filled with stories, art, and history waiting to be explored.

And then there is the theatre. The West End offers unforgettable performances, and experiencing a show at Shakespeare’s Globe is something truly special, like stepping back in time.

London is a city of culture, diversity, and endless possibility. A place where every visit brings something new to discover and another reason to fall in love with it all over again.

🇮🇹 Venice, Italy 🇮🇹

Venice is nearly impossible to describe, because it feels less like a city and more like stepping into a living postcard. Life moves a little slower here, inviting you to breathe deeper, wander longer, and savor every moment.

It is easy to get lost in the endless canals and narrow corridors that weave through the buildings like a labyrinth. Around every corner there is a new treasure waiting to be discovered, a quiet piazza, a hidden bridge, a candlelit café, or a moment of unexpected beauty.

From the food and drinks to the ornate masks and the songs of the gondoliers drifting across the water, Venice feels timeless and romantic. It is easy to understand why so many are drawn here to escape, to reconnect, and to fall in love with the idea of slowing down.

This is a destination that invites indulgence. Take a gondola ride through the canals, enjoy a scoop of gelato, sip limoncello as the sun sets, watch a glass blowing demonstration, or take a cooking class and savor every Italian bite. Or do nothing at all, simply sit, listen, and watch the world glide by.

Venice is a place to pause, to feel, and to immerse yourself fully in the magic of the moment.

🇳🇱 Amsterdam, Netherlands 🇳🇱

Around this time every year for several years, I found myself preparing for a large exhibition for work that took place in Amsterdam each January. It was never a city that sat at the top of my list, yet somehow it quietly became one of my most beloved places in the world.

I fell in love with the people, the culture, the architecture, and the city itself. Amsterdam has an effortless charm, with its bright colorful cookie cutter houses lining endless canals that glow with lights year round. It is a city that feels almost like a fairy tale, one that is incredibly easy to fall in love with.

I especially loved venturing beyond the city into the surrounding villages, where historic windmills stand against open skies and you can get a true taste of the countryside. Springtime was always one of my favorite moments to visit, when fields of daffodils and tulips burst into bloom and completely overwhelm the senses with color and beauty.

If you ever have the chance to visit, I highly recommend taking a canal tour through the city, exploring the many incredible museums, and wandering the streets at night to soak in the glow of the lights and the magical atmosphere. Some of my favorite museums include the Anne Frank House and the Van Gogh Museum. And of course, do not miss trying a warm stroopwafel while strolling along the canals.

One last thing to remember, watch out for the bicycles. They truly rule the city and always have the right of way.

Amsterdam is a place that surprises you, captures your heart, and stays with you long after you leave.

🦬 The Black Hills, South Dakota 🦬

In my opinion, the perfect family road trip destination. The Black Hills are a place of adventure, beauty, and deep meaning, where nature, history, and culture come together in a truly powerful way.

Known as Paha Sapa, the Black Hills are sacred to the Lakota people and many other Native Nations. This land is considered the heart of everything that is, a spiritual center where creation stories begin and where generations have gathered for prayer, vision quests, and ceremonies. Wind Cave holds particular significance, believed to be the place where the Lakota people emerged into the world, making this land not just important, but ancestral and alive with spirit.

Beyond its sacred history, the Black Hills offer endless opportunities to explore. From iconic landmarks like Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse Memorial, and the historic town of Deadwood, to incredible outdoor experiences like hiking forested trails, exploring caves, and driving through scenic byways that seem to go on forever.

Wind Cave National Park is a wonder in itself, the first cave ever designated a national park, home to rare boxwork formations and a vast underground labyrinth. Above ground, sweeping prairie lands support wildlife including a genetically pure bison herd. Nearby, the Badlands feel like another planet entirely, with dramatic landscapes that leave you in awe.

Custer State Park offers lakes, wildlife, and some of the most beautiful drives in the country. And for a little fun and kitsch, there is Wall Drug, roadside attractions, Reptile Gardens, chuck wagon dinners, and classic family friendly stops that make road trips unforgettable.

The Black Hills are more than a destination. They are a place of reflection, adventure, and connection. A land that holds joy, learning, excitement, and reverence all at once. Opportunities here are truly endless.
