Tips for travelling to Indonesia

by Budget And The Beeson April 16, 2016 ~ 10 Comments

Last month we had the opportunity to head to Indonesia for the total solar eclipse. This meant we got to experience more remote areas of the country and two vastly different aspects of the culture. We travelled with a group of photographers and social media influencers. It was interesting to see the differences between those […]

Responsible Travel: Leave Each Place Better Than You Found It

by Caton March 23, 2015 ~ 4 Comments

I’ve been so very lucky to have many life changing travel experiences. Each of those experiences has helped shaped the woman I am today, and I’m a huge proponent of others exploring the far corners of the earth with every chance they get. Understanding, acceptance, and love of others makes the world a better place […]

My Travel Bucket List

by Caton February 23, 2015 ~ 13 Comments

I don’t know about you, but I’m always dreaming about my next big adventure. It doesn’t take this arctic winter to make me dream of a warm beach, but it’s certainly helping. I’m guilty of entering travel sweepstakes often. I love listening to bangara, and my favorite cuisine is Thai. I don’t think there’s anywhere […]

New York Travel Guide: Part 2

by Caton February 2, 2015 ~ 5 Comments

As you may have guessed, there is a prequel to this post. New York Travel Guide: Part 1 reviews a live taping of The Colbert Report, Governors Island, playing the Broadway Lottery, and Holey Donuts. I moved to New York in August, so I’m still pretty new here. When visiting places around the city for […]

Natalie’s Favorites: Florence, Italy

by Caton January 5, 2015 ~ 9 Comments

Italy has a special place in my heart. It wasn’t the first place I visited outside the U.S., but it was, in a sense, my first true international experience. A high school senior trip to the Bahamas didn’t really count, you know. It wasn’t the same rich, cultural and life changing experience Italy was when […]

My Travel Plans for 2015

by Caton December 31, 2014 ~ 6 Comments

It’s the new year tomorrow, and with that comes a lot of hope, promise, and excitement as everyone gets going on their New Year’s resolutions. I think the beginning of the year is a great way to get motivated to do even better than the year before. Many people don’t like resolutions, saying people hardly […]

Moving to Grenada: Hubs’ Adventure in the Trinidad Airport

by Caton December 4, 2014 ~ 8 Comments

A few weeks ago I wrote about moving to Grenada, but I didn’t get to the actual moving part. I just explained why we moved to Grenada, what it was like when Hubs finally got accepted to medical school, and the preparations for him to leave. The truth is, actually getting to Grenada was a […]

Moving to Grenada: Our Story

by Caton November 12, 2014 ~ 12 Comments

I recently received an e-mail from a reader who asked if I enjoyed living abroad. I responded and told him that I did. It was a complete life changing experience to live in Grenada, West Indies for three years. I will forever be changed because of my time there. I learned so much about myself, […]

Natalie’s Favorites: Grenada

by Caton October 27, 2014 ~ 16 Comments

If you’ve been following our blog for a while you might know that Cat and I met on a tiny island in the Caribbean. Although I write more about my recent move to New York, I lived in Grenada just shy of three years. I really loved it there, and I’ll miss it more and […]

New York Travel Guide: Part 1

by Caton October 6, 2014 ~ 9 Comments

I had a surreal experience last weekend. After my husband and I had a delicious Cuban dinner in Manhattan with friends, the four of us walked off our meals by exploring Central Park. The night was perfect. It wasn’t too cold and Central Park was a new experience for hubs and I. I was in […]
