We came across the News Steps while exploring Edinburgh. If you zoom in, you will be able to see this colorful display are locks. It’s located down a staircase where people leave these locks as symbols of love and memories. Over time, it has become one of those hidden gems that visitors love discovering while wandering the city.

Just a little reminder of why we love Edinburgh so much. There are unexpected discoveries around every corner in a city rich with centuries old history.

Hotel goals! ✨

How beautiful is the lobby at The Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh? This one deserved its own post. Originally opened in 1902, the grand architecture is stunning, but from the moment we arrived, we were met with beautiful fresh florals, tartan kilts, and timeless Scottish elegance throughout every detail. This quickly became one of our favorite stops on our recent trip to England and Scotland. Luxury, history, and charm all wrapped into one unforgettable stay in the heart of Edinburgh.

A place that feels like time has stood still. Welcome to Edinburgh. Cobblestone streets, centuries-old architecture, and a city packed with history, Edinburgh is unique in its own charming and unforgettable way. From echoing bagpipes to hidden pubs, mysterious castles, and moody skies, you may feel like you’ve stepped into a movie scene.

If you love history, architecture, cozy pubs, and a little moodiness in the sky, Edinburgh may need to be added to your bucket list. It’s also an easy stop when visiting nearby places like Glasgow, Scottish Highlands, St Andrews, or even London as part of a larger UK itinerary.

About this week…
These were some of the incredible views we experienced in Costa Rica this week.

The landscape scenery is amazingly unique and the wildlife you come across along the way makes it that much more memorable. Exploring Costa Rica is about as much or as little adventure and natural beauty as you would like. From the rainforests to the beaches to the wildlife, Costa Rica is packed with nature’s beauty.

We just had to share some of these amazing snapshots. Stay tuned for the itinerary of our adventures and recommendations up next!

Have you been dreaming about a Caribbean vacation? One with blue water and continuous tropical breezes?

Let us entice you with some snapshots from our recent Girlfriends Getaway to the British Virgin Islands.

The BVI is the kind of place that never goes out of season offering beauty year-round from calm turquoise waters to sun-soaked escapes in spring and summer.
There's no bad time to visit just different experiences based on the season.

May to June: Warm, quieter, and one of the best times for value

July to October: Warmer with some humidity, but ultimate privacy and fewer crowds

November: Slightly warmer, less busy, and just before the busy season begins

December to April: Picture-perfect weather + lively energy

No matter when you go, it's always breezy and the water is always this blue. Let us help you plan the perfect time for you to experience this Caribbean paradise. It's even better in person.
