Episode 6: Travel Takeaways and Tips

Today we are talking all about one of my favorite hobbies: travel!


Recently, my husband, Patrick, and I traveled to Canada (Vancouver and Whistler). After a summer spent at home in Santa Barbara, this was the first true vacation (and international trip) that we have taken in a while. As we all know, travel comes with its highs and lows and successes and headaches. I’ve been reflecting on our trip, and I wanted to share some tips and observations about traveling with you all (some more serious than others):


• Change is constant
• Casual clothing at the airport
• Trusty reusable water bottles  
• TSA PreCheck and Global Entry for the win
• The unfasten-seatbelts ding moment
• Airport hotels really are convenient
• Why we usually don’t rent a car
• Make plans, but also, don’t
• Chat with the locals
• The souvenir that I always buy

I hope that this episode will be useful for your future travels! As always, if you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, share, or leave a star rating and review. You can always reach me by email or send me a DM too. Thank you!

Black cats make up roughly one-third of the total Black cats make up roughly one-third of the total animal shelter population, and yet they have much longer waiting times and lower adoption rates. Sadly, superstitions still play a role in this. ☹️

In Japan, black cats are symbols of good luck! They are said to ward off evil, bring luck in love, and increase financial success and prosperity! 🍀 

We love our lucky Lucy! Have you had a black cat before? Maybe this is your sign to get one! 🖤

I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Da I’m not sure who made the “no white after Labor Day” rule, but clearly I’m disregarding 😂🤍

I’m still obsessed with this dreamy shoot at @sanysidroranch with @laurenmaevephotography 🥰

You know I love a rooftop dinner, and @salina_rooftop did not disappoint! The pizzas were so good! 🍕 

Do you enjoy visiting Paso Robles too? It’s a little over a two-hour drive for us, but not bad at all! 🚗
