With our four year wedding anniversary this past month, we decided to go away for one night just the two of us. With travel basically being nonexistent these past (almost) two years (thanks Covid), a small getaway was very much needed. I found an off the grid tiny house on Airbnb, and thought that something […]

It’s finally here – the new Passports and Cappuccinos! I’m so excited to evolve P&C and be able to share it all with you. Since the beginning of the year, I have been working with my friend Sarah at Boss Babe by Sarah to update my branding, website and (drum roll please…) services! That’s right, […]

I am very excited to announce that Passports & Cappuccinos is officially offering free downloadable (and editable) Travel Templates!! I have been working on these templates with my good friend Sarah, from Boss Babe by Sarah, for a few months now and I am SO happy with how they turned out! You can now find […]

Spring is finally (almost) here! After a long Wisconsin winter, I am very excited to say that the first official day of Spring is next week. Milwaukee is a great city year-round, but it really starts to come alive in the Spring. And if you’re looking for some ideas on how to enjoy the city, […]

A relaxing vacation is never something that my husband and I ever think of plan. We usually plan trips that are centered around exploring a new destination, waking up at the crack of dawn, and going back to our hotel just to sleep. So when our family decided to plan a trip to Cancun this […]

I get a lot of questions on where to go and what to do in Milwaukee from family, friends and out-of-towners. So… I am rounding up 10 activities to do around Milwaukee during each season (starting with fall)! If you’re local, or thinking of popping in for the weekend, these are some awesome activities that […]

After a three-day road trip from Chicago, my bother and I had a few days together in Los Angeles before I flew back home. While our main priority was getting him unpacked and settled, we still had plenty of time for some sightseeing. I will warn you, since I didn’t have much time in Los […]

As the summer months come to a close, and our social calendars start to wind down a bit, I finally found time to write about my road trip to LA with my brother! My Summer was pretty filled with travel, and kicked off with a girls trip to Tennessee, followed by several weekends up north, […]

I recently took a much needed girls weekend to the Smoky Mountains. Since our first ever girls trip to Lake Geneva last Spring, we decided to make our trips a seasonal tradition. Of course, with our busy schedules, we finally managed to book our second trip almost exactly one year later (whoops)! So, I guess we […]

Whether it’s a trip through your home state, or a journey through multiple states, having all the essentials for a road trip is crucial. I recently took a nine and a half hour road trip for a girls weekend in the Smoky Mountains, and in typical girl fashion, we packed like we were leaving for nine […]

It’s taken me a while to write this post, because what I am about to say may upset and shock a few people… Ok, guys. I’m gonna say it! I did not like Vegas (gasp!). On our most recent vacation, Brian and I flew to Phoenix and road-tripped through Northern Arizona. We loved the sleepy […]

We recently got back from our Spring Break trip to Arizona and Nevada, and completely fell in love with Northern Arizona. While our trip was short, we were able to fit in quite a bit of activities, and I wanted to share our favorites with you. Exploring Flagstaff When booking our Airbnb, we wanted a […]

Door County is known for being a perfect spot for a getaway with your significant other, family, or even a fun girls trip! During the summer months, it’s filled with locals and tourist taking in the beautiful views, and enjoying everything the peninsula has to offer. Recently, Brian and I decided to head up for a […]

I feel like I haven’t talked about travel in a while on the blog, so I wanted to share a fun trip that Brian and I decided to take on a whim! Just about a year ago, we drove down to St. Louis for a little adventure when I was in-between jobs. We wanted to […]

This past weekend, Brian and I went to San Antonio for a family wedding. It was a quick trip, but we managed to see a lot of sites! The city in October was beautiful and warm. It was about 80 degrees the whole time we were there, so it was perfect for exploring and walking […]

Bay View is a vibrant Milwaukee neighborhood just south of downtown, and a place we’ve called home for the last three years. If you live in the area, or are just here for a visit, Bay View is a great place to explore to get a taste of local Milwaukee flavor. Restaurants There are a […]

It’s finally Fall here in Milwaukee, and I couldn’t be happier! Waking up to cool, crisp mornings, seeing the colors change in the trees, and enjoying all of the seasonal flavors really put me in a good mood. Fall in Wisconsin is probably my favorite time of year. Yes, Summer is great, but there is […]

Living in Milwaukee, fondly referred to as “Brew City,” there is never a shortage of places to go to enjoy a night out with friends. There are plenty of bars/breweries/pubs/etc. that you can go and enjoy a cold one, or even some spirits if beer isn’t your vice. Here are a few of my favorite […]

When researching Iceland, Brian and I quickly discovered that the best way to experience Iceland was by driving your own car. There are plenty of people that use Reykjavik as their home-base and venture out by tour bus, but if you want to go at your own pace and be able to see everything, I […]

The last leg of our honeymoon was spent in the southwest, with Reykjavik being our home base. Each day we would venture out, but we loved coming back in the afternoons to enjoy walking around and taking in the peaceful and colorful city.  Day 6Our day started off with driving out to The Secret Lagoon. […]

Our time on the east coast was short, since we needed to head north to Húsavík first thing in the morning! We organized ourselves for our journey and headed on our way. Day 4 We woke up early to drive into Húsavík, a town in northern Iceland that is fondly called “The Whale Watching Capital […]

I’m so excited to share our Icelandic adventure with you guys! Brian and I recently got back from a week-long trip around the entire country for our honeymoon, and it was incredible. Iceland is a beautiful country and we are so glad we got to see everything the country has to offer during the summer […]
