Summer so far ☀️


Happy Tuesday!

I hope everyone is having a great summer so far! I'm enjoying the sunshine in Chicago, from catching up on books, to White Sox games, to planning an insane next year of travel.

I have lots of fun travel plans coming up very soon, and I can't wait to share them. Until then, I'm going to try to enjoy the heat in the city this week.

If you're up to anything fun this summer, I would love to hear about it! Hit reply and let me know.

Make sure you check out the giveaways, sales, and more below.

As always, you can follow along with my current travels on Instagram and Facebook!

Have a great week :)

Travel Resources

Travel Insurance: SafetyWing is my go-to for travel insurance because it covers so much, is easy to purchase for days or months, and is affordable. Many credit cards also include travel insurance. Personally, I get SafetyWing on top of my credit card insurance. Learn more about SafetyWing and the benefits of using them in my blog post about travel insurance

Flytographer: Flytographer is my go-to for vacation photos. You can book a local photographer in cities around the world for quick, professional shoots that capture your trip without the stress of taking your own photos.

Happy Tuesday! I've been packing for my next trip, so I thought it would be the perfect time to answer a question I get a lot: what do you pack that you actually use on all your trips. Here are a few things I bring on almost every trip. They make my life a lot easier when I'm on the road. Dry bag: Perfect for beach days, boat tours, kayaking, and protecting your electronics if you get caught in the rain. Microfiber towel: Lightweight, dries quickly, and doesn't take up much space.
