Last weekend I returned from the TBEX conference i Last weekend I returned from the TBEX conference in Fargo, North Dakota. What a perfect visit for fall. I will say, I definitely did not get to see enough and need to go back! I highly recommend staying at the Jasper, visiting the Moorhead Dairy Queen where the dilly bar was invented, take a walk and enjoy the cute shoppes, and so much more. I’ll be sharing more soon. Grateful to Prime IV which brought me back to life. #northofnormal #northdakota #minnesota #tbex #fargo
The Wissota Sanctuary 📍 Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin The Wissota Sanctuary 📍 Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin This Airbnb was stunning and I cannot wait to come back for another visit. This is the perfect place to visit any time of year but I was lucky to be here in the fall as the leaves were changing colors. It offers 3 bedrooms and two baths however, one of the bedrooms has four bunk beds so you can truly have multiple families here. I was a solo traveler this time but it would make a great family trip, couples retreat, or girls getaway. The details were unbelievable and the pictures really do not do it justice. From the bunk room providing video games and cozy blankets hanging on the wall to the office that allows for private phone calls or remote work, if needed. There is so much to do outdoors or cozy up inside by the fireplace. The kitchen is gorgeous and is more than fully stocked. They have so many appliances for you to use, including extras like a crock pot, a beverage fridge, and so much more. They even had an amazing gift basket for me in the fridge with local cheeses and treats and I am bummed I forgot to eat up some of the goodies, next time! The bed linens were so comfortable, it was truly difficult to leave! Waking up to views of the stunning lake was everything I needed. If you are visiting this area, I cannot recommend the Wissota Sanctuary enough. #travel #wisconsin #airbnb #lake #chippewafalls @wissotasanctuary
📍 Chippewa Falls, WI 🍺 I couldn’t resist coming 📍 Chippewa Falls, WI 🍺 I couldn’t resist coming to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin when I found out it’s only an hour and a half drive from MSP. And since I had to fly through MSP to Fargo, it was a done deal. I’ve wanted to visit the quaint @leinielodge for some time, so this was perfect! I highly recommend a visit and sign up for the historic tour! I hope you get Nana, she was my guide and she was just an amazing person. I did not know that in 1867, the brewery started under the name the Spring Brewery as a partnership with Jacob Leinenkugel and John Miller. I also thought summer shandy was one of their original beers but it did not start here until 2007. You can learn so much about this history here, but my biggest hope is that one day, beer will be made and bottled here again in Chippewa Falls. #beer #wisconsin #leinenkugels #summershandy #travel @leinenkugels
📍 Stillwater, Minnesota Yesterday, I flew from D 📍 Stillwater, Minnesota Yesterday, I flew from DC to Minneapolis for a weekend journey to Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. On the way, I stopped for a quick visit in Stillwater located along the St. Croix River. This historic town is known as the birthplace of Minnesota and is charming. I walked the waterfront, crossed the bridge, climbed the outdoor steps, and visited a few shops before heading on to Wisconsin. I hope I get to come back for a longer visit. ✈️ DCA ➡️ MSP 🚙 30 minute drive to Stillwater 🍂 Have you been to Stillwater? What is your favorite place or thing to do? #travel #minnesota #stillwater #minneapolis #fall

21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. 21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. ✈️ 🌎 📍DAY 21: Headed home Arrived at Istanbul airport from my first flight from Singapore. I boarded my final flight (nearly 11 hours) to DC however, we had to deplane for a bit before being bused to another plane and taking off. I scheduled a car service for my airport pickup, it was actually less expensive to do this than the parking this time. It was perfect for the hour and a half drive home since I was so tired! As I was walking up to my door, a friendly kitten appears from nowhere. 24 hours later he became My newest family member. After dropping the bags, I picked up my baby Oliver from mom and dad. Travel days are long and exhausting, but worth the journey. Follow along as I will be headed on another adventure soon!

21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. 21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. ✈️ 🌎 📍DAY 20: Singapore 🇸🇬 Time to start the long journey home! Since I was ill, I stayed in my room and relaxed and then repacked to get my luggage weight distributed. So happy to have a comfortable room with a view. I left early for the Singapore Changi airport and first stop was visiting the Jewel. While I knew about the rain vortex in the Jewel, I did not know that the Jewel is a large shopping mall and has numerous restaurants. This is a good way to kill some time. Then it was time to board my first of two flights for the long journey home. First was just over 11 hours flight to Istanbul.

21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. 21 days. 5 countries. From Istanbul to Singapore. ✈️ 🌎 📍DAY 19: Singapore 🇸🇬 Yesterday took quite a turn. I started the day on a hop on hop off bus to see some of the sights and get a better layout of the area. Singapore is a large city so walkability depends on where you are staying and what exactly you want to see. Unfortunately, I barely made it back from the bus when I became ill. I spent the next 24+ hours in my room. Luckily, I am at a beautiful hotel and the staff were able to accommodate some room service requests. Not sure if the illness was from heat, dehydration, food or a mix of everything. The toughest part was having to miss an evening river cruise and light show that I had booked that would have taken me to sights I really wanted to see. I am so glad that my room with a view offered me the ability to see the sights from afar. Are you ready to book a river cruise of your own or escorted land travel to your dream destination?
