I’m wife to a handsome flyboy, Mom to three spirited children, a clinical counselor by profession, and explorer at heart. I love learning about far away lands and different cultures and have the unique opportunity to call Belgium our “home base” for the next few years (previously it was Hungary, hence all the great Hungarian travel content!). I plan to preserve everything we experience here as a keepsake for our kiddos, and share travel advice and inspiration as much as possible! View all posts by Brí

In Prague, little D was amazed by The Lennon Wall. I’m pretty sure that since she saw it, she’s never gone a day without drawing ON herself. “Can graffiti be a job?” She asked the other day. 🤣🤩 I bet Banksy would say yes...but if that doesn’t work out, there’s always body artists! (And I can’t get enough of the toothless grin!)

We spent a long day walking all over the city of Edinburgh. The Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo festival (not to be confused with actual tattoos) celebration was happening that night, but I was the only one in our family with enough energy to walk around the city after dark and enjoy the light show and fireworks. This beautiful view of the castle looking down Vennel street was especially memorable! I don’t usually go out by myself at night (even as a very tall woman, I still get nervous) but it was worth it for this!

🌲 I love trees! That’s no secret. They’re symbolic of everything that inspires me in life. Which is your favorite? These images, all taken at Bokrijk Kasteel represent:

The military moved us to Hungary and we were determined to make the most of our time in Europe. We had always dreamed of road tripping through the Scottish Highlands (you know, Outlander, Harry Potter, big fans...), so the first chance we got, we hopped a cheap flight to London and headed north! The forecast for the entire week looked grim, but that didn’t stop us...

—>SWIPE! The south side of Algarve, Portugal gets all the attention, when the west side has tremendous beauty, too! These photos are from Praia de Monte Clérigo, and Praia de Castelejo. Massive, cliff-lined beaches with awesome rock formations, huge waves (surfing!) and long tides. A treasure trove of all day fun! More on our favorite beaches in Portugal - link in bio!

What a gorgeous morning in Dinant, Belgium! This town is known for its picturesque buildings along the steep cliffs lining the banks of the Meuse River, as well as being the birthplace of saxophone inventor Adolphe Sax. You can’t miss the significance of the sax as there are huge saxophones all over town - each one representing a different country! My favorite part (besides the views) was checking out the delicious local boulangeries and sandwich shops. All the restaurants looked soooo good - we’ll just have to wait until after the pandemic to try them out!
