 CHINA

Oh my, China is by far one of the favorite places that I have visited. China has had a special place in my heart for years. I have studied the countries geography and people, and have been passionate about the orphan care in this country  for years. To visit it was incredible. It is safe to say I will  be back! One of my favorite things to do was climb the Great Wall, we unfortunately had a very foggy day and couldn't see much past the wall itself but it was surreal being on the wall at all.

Things to do: Great Wall of China, The marketplace in Beijing to see interesting food and culture!

SEDONA, AZ

Dave and I both love being outside and hiking anywhere and everywhere, we have so many places to see on our bucket list. The red rocks are so amazing to see, so incredibly beautiful. We were staying in Scottsdale area but made the drive out to sedona for the day, I definitely reccomned this day trip or just taking a vacation to Sedona! Bring sunscreen & water! :)

PARIS

What to do; walk! Explore this beautiful city and stop at explore everything you can.

Where to stay; We loved our hotel, Hotel Parc St. Severin in the Latin Quarter it was so incredibly charming and comfortable!

Where to eat; We loved Les Papilles!

PARIS (THE LOUVRE)

You will not be able to see everything in this museum unless you have like...a month straight. :) Plan out what you want to see and head to those areas! Dave loved the Egyptian Exhibits and I have to agree those were amazing. My Favorite museum we visited in Paris was the Musee D'Orsay because a large amount of Claude Monet's art is there!

GIVERNY FRANCE

Oh my goodness is the french countryside beautiful, if you are in Paris take a day trip outside of the city and head to Giverny. The ride there was beautiful and Claude Monet's Gardens are incredibly beautiful. The green door I am standing in front of was Claude Monet's House.

VERSAILLES 

I have never seen anything so ornate in my entire life! The entire time we visited Versaille all I could do was imagine what life would have been like in a place like that!

ROME

Where do stay: Hotel Valadir, It is such a fabulous hotel, the rooms are luxurious and they have a fabulous rooftop bar. Dave and I sat up there every evening with a bottle of wine, it was absolutely perfect. If you don't stay at Hotel Valadir you can still go to the rooftop for dinner or drinks!

ITALYS ALMAFI COAST

Everytime I look at this photo I think that Dave and I look like we were photoshopped into this background, that this scenery could not be real. BUT IT IS, and it is by far the most gorgeous place I have ever been. I would love to go back!

Where to eat; Chez Black in Positano, it is right on the beach and we had amazing seafood!
