  • I had 24 hours in Queenstown before I embarked on a 13 day camping tour. I know, it’s not nearly enough time for the adventure capital of the world, but I made the most of it! Allow yourself more time than me, but here’s what I did: 1️⃣ Tiki Trail (or take the gondola for the views🚠) 2️⃣ Valley of the Vines Wine Tour (3 wineries🍷) 3️⃣ Queenstown Hill Hike⛰ 4️⃣ Queenstown Gardens🌺 I stayed at the Jucy Snooze hostel and it was lovely. There are plenty of great food options in town, you can find anything you’re craving after your adventures! 🌀 What crazy things did you do in Queenstown!? Let me know what I missed so I can plan better next time🤪
  • Ahh, Iceland! I was able to manage the golden circle tour, a northern lights boat cruise and the blue lagoon. All in about 42 hours! Pictured here is one of three stops on the golden circle tour. You also get to see the geysers and Thingvellir National Park, a beautiful UNESCO Heritage Site. I was thankful for a sunny day, which is apparently rare this time of year. Hopefully I can see more of Iceland soon! 🏞 Location: Gullfoss Waterfall Visited: September 2019 🏞 What was your favorite stop in Iceland? 🏞 #getawaytoiceland #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #shetravels #traveltips #sheexplores #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #girlvsglobe #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #goldencircletour #iceland #icelandgetaway #icelandadventure #exploreiceland #gullfosswaterfall #icelandtour
  • I’m all about the food when it comes to trips (and just life in general). So when several people told me to check out Foodhallen in Amsterdam, it was one of the first places I went. It has a wide variety of high quality food options and different bars to have a drink. I went on a Saturday, so it was very crowded but definitely worth checking out! I got tacos😋 This picture is near the entrance. 🌮 Location: Foodhallen 🌮 Where’s your favorite place to eat in Amsterdam? 🌮 #getawaytoamsterdam #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #shetravels #traveltips #sheexplores #wanderlust #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #girlvsglobe #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #amsterdam #amsterdampics #amsterdamtrip #foodhallen #amsterdamfood #foodhallenamsterdam
  • When this beauty is the first thing you see coming out of the train station in Cologne😍 Holy wow. This cathedral is massive. The first brick was laid in 1248 and it only took 632 years to build😳 Though badly damaged in WWII, it remained standing and obviously attracts thousands of visitors a day. I went back several times to try to get the best shot. At night there were a bunch of doves flying around. Talk about magical! 🕊 Location: Cologne Cathedral 🕊 Where is your favorite cathedral? 🕊 #getawaytocologne #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #shetravels #traveltips #sheexplores #wanderlust #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #girlvsglobe #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #colognecathedral #cologne #colognegermany #koln #kolnerdom
  • I took the FREE ferry over to Noord from Amsterdam Central Station last weekend and experienced one of the largest flea markets in all of Europe - IJ Hallen. The whole area is very industrial and unique from most of Amsterdam. There’s a couple fun bars right along the water to sit back, relax and enjoy the view. I checked out Noorderlicht and Pllek. Probably the only time I’ve eaten at a “greenhouse”! ♻️ Location: Noorderlicht Cafe ♻️ Have you been to this area? What do you think? ♻️ #getawaytonoord #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #amsterdamtrip #noord #noorderlicht #ijhallen #ndsm #thenoord #amsterdambeauty #amsterdamtip #exploreamsterdam #discoveramsterdam
  • I explored Haarlem today and it was fantastic! People are correct in saying it’s a smaller, less crowded Amsterdam. Still the friendliest people, photogenic canals, bikers and delicious foods, without the insane amount of humans. It only takes 15 minutes from Amsterdam Centraal and Haarlem is so easy to navigate! I walked around a bunch then arrived at the wind mill just in time for the 5 euro tour. I also checked out Jopen brewery which is another must-do in Haarlem🍺 ➖ Location: Haarlem ➖ What’s another day trip I can do from Amsterdam?! ➖ #getawayto #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #amsterdamtrip #haarlem #visithaarlem #windmill #amsterdamdaytrip #jopenkerkhaarlem #jopenhaarlem #jopenkerk
  • I’m heading to one of my most favorite places tonight - Amsterdam! I’ll be there for 2.5 weeks and since I’ve been before and got the touristy shenanigans out of the way, I’d love some hidden gem recommendations! Places to eat, drink and be merry. Also looking for day trip suggestions! Thanks in advance. I cannot wait😁 🚲 Location: Amsterdam Visited: May 2017 🚲 Tell me your Amsterdam experiences! 🚲 #getawaytoamsterdam #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #solotravel #worktrip #amsterdam #iamsterdam #amsterdamtips #amsterdamtrip #amsterdamlove #amsterdamlife
  • I was in Portugal for 8 days and every day I said ‘wow this reminds me of ___.’ It was so cool to see all the traveling I’ve done thus far compared to a single country that has so much to offer. I saw parts of Hawaii, Ireland, Italy, England and more in the three different areas I visited in Portugal. I was highly impressed with the vast landscapes, majestic cliffs and colorful city centers. There’s not a single picture to sum up Portugal, but I’ll be sharing more in the next month because it’s certainly one of my new favs! 🇵🇹 Location: Lisbon Visited: April 2019 🇵🇹 What’s your favorite part of Portugal? 🇵🇹 #getawaytoportugal #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #travelportugal #visitportugal #beautifulportugal #goportugal #lisbon #lisbonviews
  • I think I fit in pretty well in Venice🤓 Even though it rained basically the whole time, it was nice having the popular restaurants, boutiques, bike paths and murals all to ourselves! No crowds to fight anywhere this time of year👏🏻 🔲 Location: Venice Visited: This past weekend! 🔲 What’s your favorite thing about Venice? 🔲 #getawaytovenice #travelblog #chicagoblogger #glt #gltlove #girlslovetravel #instatravel #instapassport #travelgram #travelbug #travelmore #girlsthatwander #wearetravelgirls #womenwhoexplore #womenwhotravel #roamingwomen #sheisnotlost #passionpassport #beautifuldestinations #veniceCA #venicebeach #venice #venicecalifornia #venicemurals #streetart #venicestreetart #abbottkinneyblvd
