48 Hours in Porto


I can't believe it's been a month since we got back from our Europe trip! After my family trip to Puglia, Joe and I spent a few days in Portugal. Neither of us had been before, and we loved it! We spent 48 hours in Porto, and a few days in Lisbon. We absolutely loved Porto; it deserves a proper recap!

Malaga & Marbella, Spain Recap

Malaga & Marbella, Spain Recap Fran Acciardo


Two weeks ago I traveled to the Costa Del Sol region of Spain for my mom's birthday trip! Joe and I flew out to Malaga to meet my mom and brother to celebrate my mom's 60th birthday. My family had never traveled to Europe together before, so it was really special, in addition to just being able to celebrate my mom's milestone birthday with her. She invited Joe along and it was just such a fun trip with some of my favorite people! Let's recap it!

After traveling a lot already this year, I realized I couldn't really join in on the entire Spain trip with my mom and brother; they started in Madrid and went to Barcelona and Grenada before Joe and I arrived. We tagged along just for the second half and it worked out so well! We stayed in Malaga, but we took little day trips to Marbella, Peurto Banus, and Mijas.

Spring Break Destination Reveal




Happy Monday! I took last week off of blogging to recover from a horrible cold I caught while in New York two weekends ago. I spent this weekend at home relaxing and hanging out with my mom, and I am finally feeling a little bit better. There aren't many things that make you feel more drained than a post-vacation slump combined with a bad cold, nasty cough, and tons of homework on top. I am recovering mentally however with my sights set on spring break! Guess where I'm headed?!

Off to Europe

Four countries in just a little over two weeks... starts now!

Normandy, France

I've been looking forward to this trip for the last two years. As a sixteenth birthday present, my grandparents take us (the grandchildren) on a tour around Europe for a little over two weeks in the summer. When my brother went two summers ago with my other boy cousins, I loved the idea so much that I began planning my trip immediately. My cousin and I are just a year apart, and I love her so much so I am of course thrilled to spend some solid time with her and my grandparents these upcoming weeks. I've been looking forward to this trip for so long and I am so so so excited now that the time has come!

Positano, Italy

Despite the fact that we will be flying out to London today, I actually am not 100% sure on our itinerary for the whole trip. (#typical) However, I know it'll go a little something like this: London, Barcelona, Paris, Venice, Florence, Pisa, Rome.

I couldn't be more excited, but we haven't done too much planning, so if you have any recommendations in any of the cities above, please leave a comment or shoot me an email!
