      I’m on hostelbookers mailing list, and just checked their travel blogger awards post and i’ve been quickly going through the list, looking for some awesome bloggers. Made my way to yours, saw this video, and got inspired!

      Don’t you just hate those super long flights (24hrs or more), or the brutal long haul, bus rides (19hrs or more), and at the end of those trips, you now resemble a zombie, clothes all tattered and dirty, you’re missing flesh around the face, a few front teeth and even an eye ball, perhaps. Well folks, to get that rested look, I’d like to share with you my one and only travel make up tip that’ll you’ll ever need:
      step 1 – take a big, as wide as you can bite on the passenger directly next to you. within seconds, this person will turn into a zombie and begin infecting the next person. the process will continue to repeat itself, until all passengers are now zombies. screw, looking rested. be a zombie.

      adios.

    If you’re looking for a different kind of vacation destination, one that’s not all over your feed or overrun with tourists, then @expedia’s got you covered!

    Expedia just launched Unpack ’26, their definitive guide to emerging travel trends for the year ahead, powered by first-party data from Expedia, Hotels.com, and Vrbo, and enriched by global insights, Unpack is designed to help travelers explore more consciously and creatively.

    Some of these were a HUGE surprise, but I wasn’t shocked to see The Cotswolds made the cut! I traveled there last fall and fell in LOVE! So much so that I’m planning a month-long stay with Ollie so he can enjoy all of the cute lambs and cozy cottages too!

    The Cotswolds are a region in the UK compromising of over 100 villages and 300 towns! There’s so much to be discovered here, but these are the 7 villages you have to visit if you’re planning a trip to The Cotswolds this fall and beyond:

    •Castle Combe
    •Bourton-on-the-Water
    •The Slaughters
    •Stowe-on-the-Wold
    •Broadway
    •Snowshill
    •Bibury

    For more amazing, best-kept travel secrets, check out @expedia’s Unpack ‘26 list (in my stories) and hurry to book your travels before these less-explored gems become part of the beaten path!

    Have you been to The Cotswolds? Which were your favorite villages?

    Here’s how we spent a weekend in Philadelphia #MarriottHotelsPartner
    •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
    We were lucky enough to stay at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, located right in the heart of the city! From there, we made sure to see the best the city had to offer families:

    🥞 Breakfast at The Pantry (inside the Marriott!)
    🖐️ Please Touch Museum
    🔔 The Liberty Bell + Independence Hall
    🍲 Lunch at Reading Terminal Market
    💦 Splash time at Sister Cities Park
    🧬 Visit the Franklin Institute
    🏮 Chinese Lantern Festival in Franklin Square (annual summer event)

    There’s so much for families to do in Philadelphia and being a Marriott Bonvoy member makes it so much more accessible.

    From the location to having toddler amenities on-hand and staff who actually understand what traveling with a toddler is like — it’s those small comforts that make a huge difference on family trips.

    Thank you for the stay @MarriottHotels!
