    There is just something about the California desert that awakens my soul, hence why we decided to go to Joshua Tree to celebrate my sister’s 30th birthday! What a trip! I’ve unlocked some of Joshua Tree’s hidden gems and a guidebook to a guaranteed amazing weekend.

    AirBnB: The Joshua Tree Casita & The Joshua Tree House

    Had the pleasure at staying at both of these amazing AirBnB’s! They are so beautifully decorated. You will love it!

    Here goes nothing… my very first blog post! Exactly one week ago, my sweet boyfriend and I were celebrating our 2 year anniversary in Idaho. I surprised him with the destination and managed to keep it a surprise until we got to the airport. Since we are on an intense house saving budget, we set a $25 limit for gifts. On our anniversary morning, he surprised me with some notebooks that had a personalized message inside saying I could use them for some inspiration and to jot down my ideas for my “blog”. He then whipped out his computer to surprise me with this amazing blog that he designed entirely by himself. Thank you so much, my love. I look forward to a world of adventure with you.

    Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a travel freak and completely consumed by wanderlust. If I’m not planning my next trip, I am adding to my AirBnB wishlist or looking at flights. I’m frequently asked about my travel destinations and recommendations for restaurants, things to do, AirBnB’s/VRBO’s.

    Driggs, Idaho. Simply one of my favorite places I’ve ever been. 40 minutes away from Jackson Hole, Grand Teton National Park, and has the cutest quaint town with fabulous restaurants.

    Recommendations:

    1. Teton Thai // Driggs Idaho
    2. Provisions Local Kitchen // Driggs, Idaho
    3. Tatanka Tavern // Driggs, Idaho
    4. Grand Teton National Park // Wyoming
    5. Cafe Genevieve // Jackson Hole, Wyoming
    6. Persephone Bakery // Jackson Hole, Wyoming
    7. Jackson Hole Town Square // Jackson, Wyoming
    8. National Elk Reserve // Jackson, Wyoming

    I received a common response when I told my friends and colleagues that I was going to Idaho, which was “Why Idaho? What is there to do there?” Here’s my response, I think the pictures speak for themselves..
