July 10, 2018 by Amy Johns in Amy's Pick, Europe, Guide, Travel, Spain

I have compiled a list of my top 8 things you absolutely must do if you visit, but bear in mind there is so much more!

Where to Find the Best Views in Paris

January 15, 2016 by Amy Johns in Travel, Europe, France, Guide, Amy's Pick

The Eiffel Tower

It kind of goes without saying that to get one of the best panoramic views of the entire city of Paris, you must ascend its most famous monument! And hey, if you are going to Paris, why would you not go to the Eiffel Tower? If you are trying to avoid the crowds, make this your first stop of the day and be sure to book a skip-the-line tour in advance. Ain't nobody got time for that.

Bucketlist Destination: Mont Saint Michel

January 11, 2016 by Amy Johns in Travel, Europe, France, Amy's Pick

Ever since I took my first French class in sixth grade and saw a poster of Le Mont Saint Michel hanging on the classroom wall, I have wanted to visit this tiny island that lies just off the coast of Normandy in France. When we decided to go to Paris for New Year's, I knew I had to take advantage and make this side trip, even if just for one night.

October 15, 2015 by Amy Johns in Travel, Europe, Greece, Guide, Amy's Pick

In honor of Kyle and I's five year anniversary this week, I thought I would share a little photo diary and travel guide from our honeymoon in Santorini, Greece! We spent time in both Athens and Santorini, but really, Santorini takes the cake. This place is so beautiful that it is actually, physically impossible to take a bad picture. All of your photos will turn out amazing. It's like a rule or something.
