This month we’re back in The Netherlands so I’ll be updating my Amsterdam post and hopefully writing about some of the additional Dutch cities we plan to visit.

Next up we’ll head to Seattle to visit the Space Needle, the original Starbucks and the Boeing factory!

P.S. Dublin pictures and trip details are coming soon.

Since today is St.Patrick’s day, I thought it was fitting I announce my next trip will be to Dublin, Ireland! We’ll be heading there in a few weeks and I couldn’t be more excited….I am Irish after all!

I hope everyone has a great, green day!!

Later this month we’re heading to Tampa, Florida to check out Busch Gardens and swim with manatees!

Will and I will be spending the holidays in Peru! We’ll be trekking through the Amazon, checking out the Inca ruins at Machu Picchu and visiting Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on Earth.

Later this month Will and I will head to Madrid, Spain for tapas, world class art and a visit to the Romanesque city of Segovia.

Later this month Will and I will visit the seaport town of Mystic, Connecticut for some of their famous pizza (it totally lives up to the hype!) and to get up close and personal with the Beluga whales at the Mystic Aquarium.

Yesterday, our visit to the Philip Johnson Glass House was featured on Apartment Therapy, the biggest design blog on the web! We were also linked on the Austin real estate blog, Inspired Austin. It brought hundreds of new visitors to the site and I just wanted to say welcome and thank you! I’m happy so many people are enjoying my look inside the Glass House and I will continue my work to show you great places to visit around the world. Please feel free to leave comments and send me any of your travel questions.

Next month we’ll head to Northern Ontario where we’ll visit a native Cree village, a polar bear sanctuary and hopefully get a glimpse of the Northern Lights!

I’ll be heading to the beautiful canyon country in Utah next month with my family. Leave any tips here!

Many of us women fiercely defend our independence and insist we can do anything a man can do. For the most part, that is true but when it comes to travelling, there are some places that just aren’t safe for a girl to visit alone. Of course, that doesn’t mean you need to travel with a man! Friends make great travel partners and supply the comfort of safety in numbers. For the girl with friends who would rather stay home, there are many women’s travel resources out there.

American Airlines just launched the airline industry’s first website for women. At journeywomen.com you can find over 100 articles offering advice on female travel. If you are looking for a women’s tour group or partner to travel with, the Women’s Travel Club has tours to over 40 destinations with 50% of the participants booking as singles. It has an annual fee of $35. At Adventure Women, which has no fee, you will find a great list of “women only” national and international tours and even Humanitours, adventures that focus on giving back to the people and culture you are visiting. The bottom line is, if you love to travel, don’t let anything get in your way and if you don’t want to go it alone, you don’t have to!
