We spent the weekend doing yard work, bringing Juniper snowboarding for what might have been the last time this season, and Ben participated in the Orange Theory Dri Tri (running, rowing, & weights)!
I'll brag on Ben's behalf (because he won't)... he absolutely crushed it and finished in 35 minutes 42 seconds (aka very fast!).
This morning, it dawned on me that April is flying by. It's my birthday week (yay!), which always means summer will be riiight around the corner.
If you're like us and still making some last-minute plans (or maybe you have the plans but still need to finalize details), this next part is for you...
Got summer travel plans?

There are few places in the world as spectacular as Italy. The food, the landscapes, the people, did I mention the food?!
We studied abroad in Florence in 2009 and being that it has been a while since we've been there, we called upon our team member Amanda to create a perfect Italy itinerary! She made not one, but TWO:
Classic Italy trip: Rome, Cinque Terre, Florence and Venice
Amalfi Coast itinerary
Highlights:
Discover ancient wonders on a tour of the Colosseum & Roman Forum
Enjoy the best Italian street foods on a food tour
Witness sunsets all over Italy from atop of a castle, across from the iconic Cinque Terre viewpoint, and from Piazzale Michelangelo
Indulge in pasta at authentic Italian bistros
Get your fill of world-famous gelato
Conquer the most epic hikes along the Italian coast
See Renaissance art at some of the best museums in the world
Try the best pizza in the world in the birthplace of the Margarita pizza
Explore the Italian coast by boat!
Note: You can buy these itineraries individually or as a bundle!
Hidden gems: these are our bread and butter (we've spend hours researching the coolest off the beaten path experiences for you!)
Places to eat: one of my hobbies is finding ahhh-mazing restaurants around the world – ones where you'll find the best regional dishes! I mean, why have mediocre food on a trip when you can experience the best of the local cuisine?!
Hikes: with all the details on what to expect
Unique accommodation: reasonably-priced and memorable (some of our itineraries have campsite recommendations too)
Cocktail bars, breweries & wineries: 'nuff said!
Insider tips: things that only someone who has personally been there can tell you!
& more! Our itineraries also have directions, our personal photos, packing tips, maps, and so much more.
How much do they cost?
Our itineraries are very reasonably priced for what you get. (At this point, they are all $17.*)
Don't just take it from me...
We've had several people message us after downloading their itinerary and say something along the lines of,
"I was not expecting this to be so detailed for the price," and
"I would have paid way more for the quality of this itinerary!"
*We will be raising prices later this year (not sure by how much or exactly when), but this is your heads up to grab 'em for your travels this summer or for future trips!
Note: We try to keep all paid content as affordable as possible, but keep in mind that creating these detailed itineraries takes weeks of our time.
More itineraries:
Our top-selling itinerary is a 1-month New Zealand road trip! We are working on giving it a nice refresh, and anyone who has already purchased it will receive the update when it's done!
Japan itineraries are coming soon! We will have a 2-week classic route and a 3-week hidden gem route (both itineraries will have options to shorten or extend your trip). Join the waitlist and be the first to know when they are ready!
