London was my second-ever international trip with my parents and brother when I was 16. The city felt larger than life, and I remember there being so much to do all the time. That hasn’t changed. So this spring, my husband and I packed up a couple of suitcases and headed to the UK from late March to mid-April. If you’re planning a trip to London in March or April (or anytime), this post has some tips to help you out.
A Weekend in Llandudno, Wales
I have fond memories of spending over a month with a friend in Swansea way back in 2014. It was summertime, and she lived a 10-minute walk from the beach. The small harbor we walked by every day was charming, and life in Wales is the perfect pace–not hurried at all but not terribly slow. So when my friend and her husband invited us to spend a weekend with them in Wales during our recent UK trip, we were excited.
Where to Stay in Kenya
Having visited Kenya twice and counting, we’ve had the pleasure of experiencing some truly remarkable stays. In this post, I’ll share some of my favorite places to stay in Kenya, two places I’m eager to return to, and one place that, while it didn’t quite capture my heart, I believe could still be a great fit for certain travelers.
Kenya Travel Guide: What to Know Before Your First Visit
Kenya is one of our favorite countries to visit (we visited twice last year!), and we try to go there at least once a year. If you’re planning a trip to Kenya and have questions about safety, moving around, budget, or anything else, I’ve got you covered. This post will answer the most commonly asked questions about visiting Kenya, so if you have any additional questions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
What to Do in Kenya Besides Safari
Kenya is fast becoming a well-known African travel destination, but most visitors only know the country for its safari potential. Having done a Kenyan safari, we wholeheartedly recommend going on safari in Kenya. However, safaris are not cheap and not the relaxing experience either, so if you’d like to sit it out on this visit and are wondering what to do in Kenya besides safari, this is the post for you.
My 2023 Travel Highlights
Although we’re already one month into 2024, I couldn’t skip the chance to reminisce on a wonderful travel year in 2023. Our travel year did not go exactly as planned (when does life ever?), but it was definitely adventure-filled and left us very excited about our 2024 plans.
A Foodie’s Guide to Nairobi: My Favorite Places to Eat in the City!
We spent a little over two weeks in Nairobi and ate at over 20 restaurants (some multiple times, too!). I’ll share my favorites, those I liked (but could be better), a few “just fine” places, and several I would have loved to try but didn’t get a chance to visit.
Our Visit to Lamu: Lamu Travel Guide
Even before I actively wanted to visit Kenya, I’d heard so much about beautiful Lamu. Several social media connections had posted pictures on a sunset dhow—and honestly, I wasn’t sure Lamu would be my kind of island. It seemed so remote, so far away, so still, so old. But one weekend on this slow-paced island changed my view. If you’re contemplating a visit to the Kenyan coast, put Lamu on your radar. This Lamu travel guide will provide all the information you need to make your trip a success.
Diani Beach: The Best Coastline on the African Continent?
Diani was not on my list of places to visit in Kenya. For our first trip there in July 2023, we planned to do a 4-day safari and then spend a few days in Nairobi afterward. But when I asked a friend who lives in Kenya for one must-see spot, her answer was Diani!
