I was lucky enough to head back to Australia this year for my friend Clare’s wedding in March. I was only able to get 2 weeks off work. So I spent the first week in Australia and then I headed to Japan for my second week to see cherry blossom season with my brother. Not…

Scotland 2024
After spending a few days in London we took the train up to Edinburgh for the weekend. It’s about a 4.5 hour train ride if you take the quickest route so not too bad. It was our first time in Scotland and we loved it. Personally I liked the architecture. You can really feel the…
London 2024
Late to post per usual, but Joe and I decided to take a trip to London and Scotland during Thanksgiving week last year. I’ve been to London a few times and it’s one of my favorite big cities. This was Joe’s first time there so I was excited to show him around and do all…
Winter in Colorado
Here are some pictures from my ski days this winter. I tried to be more intentional about going this year since it’s a pretty expensive hobby. I bough the season pass (Epic local) last year for around $700 and only skied two days.. opps. This year I did a little better and went four days….

Tori chose Torrechiara because it’s known for its vineyards and a medieval castle overlooking…
Parma, Italy
From Bologna we headed to Parma for a few days. Parma is known as the birth place of Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Not the processed parmesan cheese that we buy in the shaker bottle from the grocery store. This stuff is the real deal. Northern Italy in general is best known for its cured meats (like…
Ferrera, Italy
We took a day trip from Bologna to Ferrera since it’s only a 30 minute train ride away. Ferrera definitely had that small town feel. Not as many people spoke English. Hardly any tourists. Good food. It was a nice stop. Estense Castle This medieval castle in the middle of Ferrera is surrounded by a…
Bologna, Italy
After Milan we headed to Bologna for three days. Bologna is a more mid-sized city and it’s a university town so there were a lot of young college students around which made it feel very lively all day. Bologna also has a lot of shopping, restaurants, and bars. It has medieval and Renaissance structures like…
