Life: Amsterdam

I believe I have grown to love Amsterdam. The city is kind of beautiful, except for certain areas...yikes, but the beautiful areas of Amsterdam definitely out number the bad. I think the number one thing that people think about when they think of Amsterdam, or Holland in general are the tulips. Tulips have always been my all time favorite flower so the fact that this country is kind of known for them, makes it all the more reason to travel and have an adventure there. I've been searching high and low on Pinterest for all things Amsterdam it makes my heart want to travel there even more!

The colorful bikes are another reason to travel to this European country. They come in a variety of bright colors that give the city a happy feeling when walking the streets. 

Like I said, the tulips are one of the many reasons why I would love to go. 

Have you ever had a passion to travel to Amsterdam?

Adventure: England

In the Summer of 2013 my mother and I hopped the pond over to England. To say that it was the best trip I have ever taken would be an understatement. There wasn't one thing about England that I didn't like; the people, food(yes, you can find amazing food in England), the city, the country, the parks, transportation, and so much more. The fact that any restaurant has some kind of amazing tea(besides the pubs) at any given moment, makes my heart so happy; the tiny sandwiches, the adorable desserts, and the fact that putting cream into your tea is all right by me!

I saw so many fantastic sites while in England and I couldn't thank my mother more for giving me the gift of travel. Traveling is a gift and it's the most precious gift anyone could ever give me.

Another reason England is so grand and beautiful is because of the amount of history that comes from it.  We went to Canterbury one day and wow. Just wow. The city's castle was built by William the Conqueror in 1070, seriously mind blowing that something in this world could be so old. There were parts of the castle that you could still walk around in and you could just feel the energy from the stone walls. 

One of my goals and bucket list items is to go back and explore other parts of England and possibly parts of Europe too. 

Have you ever been to England? What was your favorite spot to see??

besides all the cute guys with accents;)

101 in 1001

So I have decided to start a 101 in 1001 list. Design Darling has inspired me to create one. If anyone hasn't checked out her blog and adorable boutique, go check it out right now.

Anyway, within the next week I will have a special tab right below my title with my list of 101 in 1001.

Let's just say that it will consist of some adventures, trying new places to eat, and a few other surprises.
