If you find yourself having 24 hours in Roatan, Honduras my guess is that you’ve most likely come from one of the many cruise ships that dock on this beautiful island for the day. Or if you’re spontaneous /a little crazy like me, maybe you’ve planned a day trip to Roatan from Michigan. “Wait, did she just say DAY trip?” Yep, you heard that right. Disclaimer, these were the best 24 hours ever, and not…
Like most people, I do my research before planning trips and for my latest trip to Copenhagen all my research said visiting in the winter is not for the faint of heart… aka be prepared to freeze your butt off. But when a flight deal too good to pass up came across my laptop screen, I decided it was mind over matter and found myself in Copenhagen in the middle of winter. Now, I don’t…
If you know me, you know I’m all about spontaneity and will always say yes to a last minute weekend adventure! I’ve traveled to so many beautiful countries over the years, that I felt it was time to explore my own. After this whirlwind of a weekend, my consensus is that the USA is underrated which brings me to my first USA blog post! As the title hints, my best friend and I road tripped…
Now, I preface this post by saying I am not a Foodie. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoy a good meal like the rest of us but I’m sort of a picky eater, I’ve never been to a Michelin restaurant, and I’ve certainly never written a blog post centered around food before. There is a first for everything though, and I would be remised if I did not share my Montreal weekend itinerary with you.…

Iceland has been on my list for a while now, so I was SO excited when my boyfriend surprised me with plane tickets for us for Valentine's Day weekend. Before our trip, I spent a LOT of time researching what I wanted to do, and was overwhelmed by all there was to see and was wishing we booked 2 weeks instead of 3.5 days If you're feeling the same, then this post is for you! Not only will…

Biba Dushi! First off, no, I did not just swear at you. Secondly, hello! I'm Rachael's younger sister, Haley, and this is my first guest post on beeanythingbutboring. Biba dushi may seem like an offensive phrase to those of us who speak English, but it's actually a common saying to live by in Aruba. Biba dushi in Aruba means "living the sweet life". The language is actually called Papiamento and is one of Aruba's two official…
It’s no secret that a new year typically comes with new resolutions. However, come February, will you even remember what your resolutions were? This year, instead of making a list of New Year’s resolutions, how about making a list of New Year’s goals...because a new year means new adventures rights?! Exhibit A. courtesy of Webster: Resolution (n.) a firm decision to do or not to do something. Goal (n.) the object of a person's ambition…
When I hear Italy I think Ancient Rome, Vineyards in Tuscany, Canals of Venice. I recently returned from an amazing two week trip through Italy and surprisingly my most favorite place wasn’t any of these. It was Capri; an island I had never heard of and visited on a whim. In this travel guide I'm excited to share the perfect itinerary for exploring Capri in a day. Now, let me start by saying I’m a…
Have you ever heard the saying it doesn’t matter where you’re going, it’s who you have beside you? Well my recent trip to Bocas del Toro, Panama was the best of both worlds; as I embarked on a trip of a lifetime to a tropical paradise with a group of my closest friends. If you're looking for the top things to do in Bocas del Toro you've come to right place! Normally I’m a planner,…
Dublin is one of the most laid back cities in Europe. Unlike Rome and Paris, I’d argue there isn’t a list of must see monuments and tourist attractions. In fact, one of the best ways to experience Dublin, isn’t by being a tourist, but by being a local (even if only for a weekend) and experiencing this unique culture firsthand. That being said, I’m not going to tell you how good the Irish stew was…
I’m sure you’ve heard people say that Venice is sinking and truth be told it is. Once referred to as the “Floating City”, Venice is now sinking at a rate of 1-2mm each year, this is 5 times faster than predicted. Just one of the many reasons why you shouldn’t wait to get lost in Venice, if you wait too long this beautiful city may no longer be what it is today. Reason #1: The…
There’s the old saying that Rome wasn’t built in a day and by no means am I arguing that there is a shortage of things to do and see in Rome; you could easily spend days, weeks, even months in this beautiful city and never run out of things to do. However, if you are limited on time like I was and only have one day to spend, I’m here to tell you how to…
I’m the type of person that gets excited crossing an item off of my Sunday to do list, so just imagine how excited I am when I get to cross off a new country on my travel map. Malta marked country number 18 for me, and I have to say it is my most favorite place yet! I want to uncross it and cross it off over and over again. And lucky for you, I'm…
The Azores. What the heck is that? Well, let me tell you. A month ago I hadn’t heard of the place either. But thanks to many google searches and Instagram hashtag stalking I chose this beautiful remote island as my Thanksgiving vacation destination. Now I’m going to tell you why these magical islands need to be on your travel list, top things to do in the Azores, AND I'll share my Sao Miguel island Itinerary…
Maybe you're like me and regret not taking the opportunity to study abroad in college. A whole semester off of school in a new exotic place, with new people, new culture, maybe a new language, and the ability to travel at your fingertips- swoon. I have friends that spent semesters studying in Australia, France, and England and always thought what the heck was I thinking missing out on that. Well I'm here to tell you that it's not too…
This is my first blog post ever and probably my first time writing something real since my creative writing class in high school- so don't judge. If you know me, it's no secret that I love to travel. Let me step back, I love a lot of things. Being an extrovert, I get my energy from other people. Therefore, I hate being bored and I hate being alone. Don't get me wrong I enjoy my me time as much as the next person, but I'm happiest when…
