I'm Jessica!

Who am I? I’m not a digital nomad or backpacker. I have a demanding full-time career but still find ways to fit in tons of travel. I believe that sometimes you save and sometimes you splurge, and I’ll help you figure out how to have the best experiences regardless. My goal is to go everywhere, see everything, eat all the pastries, and soak up as much food, wine, culture, and amazing views as I can in this crazy life!

I've visited this city a couple times now and find it thoroughly charming. Here are 20+ awesome things to do, see, eat, where to stay, and more!

Magical time with the pups, racing over the snowy Magical time with the pups, racing over the snowy landscapes of Lapland 😍🐕❄️

I always recommend you do a lot of research to understand how the company you choose treats their dogs, look closely at reviews, and when you arrive look around the dog housing areas. Ours Guesthouse Husky seemed so happy, healthy, rarin’ to run, and the guides clearly knew each dog really well.

Ireland is full of magical little coastal towns, s Ireland is full of magical little coastal towns, so what makes Ardmore special?? 

Well, beyond the important Irish religious history, stunning ocean views, & amazing (super easy to access) cliff walk, it was also the inspiration/setting for one of the O.G. Nora Roberts romance series like, 25 years ago. As a teenager, I fell in love with her descriptions of the town's landmarks and its colorful (I assume largely fictional) residents. 

And when I found out Ardmore was a real town, I knew it had to be on my Irish roadtrip itinerary last spring! Here are all the things to see & do in this charming village on Ireland's southern coast!
