Driving around Ireland feels like stepping into a dream—rolling green hills, coastal cliffs, and charming villages around every bend. I loved the freedom to explore hidden spots, stop for a pint in cozy pubs, and chase sunsets along the Wild Atlantic Way. It’s the kind of trip that stays with you long after the road ends.

Normandy is full of rich history, dramatic landscape and coastal beauty. This area of France is full of rolling hills and quaint villages. Significant in history, this area holds sacredness and beauty for the sacrifices made. Normandy is not to be missed.

New Zealand is known for its captivating landscape, lush forests, friendly people, pristine beaches and geothermal activity. From white capped mountains, to rolling hills, and cruising through Fiordland National Park on the south island, and I hear, you may even spot a Hobbit or two on the north island. New Zealand truly is one of the most beautiful areas I have ever seen. This guide is for two weeks. I know you can hurry and do it in about one week, but I really do recommend taking your time and stretching it to at least two weeks.

I've heard Italy described as the most beautiful country in the world. Although beauty is subjective, I think that whoever said that is spot on. Everyone needs to experience the charm and history of the cities and country of Italy at least once in their life. And the pizza. If your coming for the food, this is a foodie's dream. A history buff, Italy is your place. Romance, Italy has that covered, too. Training through the country, covering a lot of ground. 12 days is almost the perfect amount of time.

Take a five day drive and see the very best southern Utah has to offer. An incredible region, this area is full of red rock, carved arches, and flaming gorges. This unforgiving landscape offers you world-class hiking, slot canyons and views you have only seen in magazines. A trip to southern Utah is a trip you won't forget.

Alaska is captivating with its raw, untouched beauty. It offers itself up as a feast of natural wonders that leave a lasting impression on all who venture into its unspoiled wilderness. We spent two weeks here as a family of five, I can't even say we scratched the surface. The beauty that we experienced is something that I will always hold on to.

Spending two weeks in Europe, traveling to areas you have always dreamt about. Start out in Berlin, a city full of grit and history and food for days. Then fly an hour north into Copenhagen, the city of Hygge. Train through Sweden and end in Norway. You can spend one week here, and barely scratch the service. Norway has beauty that you have to see to believe.

There is nothing quite as breathtaking as the Canadian Rockies. Banff National Park sits right in the heart of western Alberta, Canada. It offers breathtaking views, fresh mountain air, thundering waterfalls, darling townsite, cozy fires and food for days. Banff is a must visit destination for a beautiful, truly Canadian experience.
