    Thanks so much Kiki for your inspiration and innovation! Out of all your countries covered, your Morocco blogs and videos are my favorite. Morocco remains a land not explored by me, So I review your Morocco posts to remind me of my Bucket List.

      Hi Trudy! Morocco certainly is magical and it’s a great place to have on a bucket list 🙂 I hope you get to adventure the country someday!

    Hi, Kiki! I’ve been following your posts since my first trip to Morocco back in 2019. I just received a grant to teach in Morocco for 10 months, departing this coming September. I’m a freelance filmmaker (obsessed with your videos), and I have a pretty specific question. I noticed in your “Exploring Morocco” highlights reel at the 1:30 mark, there’s an awesome overhead shot of you in the Sahara. I typically use a DJI Mavic Mini drone for my films but am nervous about bringing one through customs into Morocco. Do you have tips on how to legally use and/or bring a drone into Morocco? I feel like I can’t miss out on those awesome overhead shots, but I’m just scared of having it confiscated since it’s my filmmaking baby. If you didn’t get that shot by drone, I would love to know how you did!

    Love, love, love your content and can’t wait to see more. Thank you in advance!

      Hi Reagan! I would 100% not recommend bringing a drone into Morocco. From what I’ve learned the hard way, drone restrictions are VERY real and taken very seriously. I’ve been held at the airport in customs for hours on end getting my drone confiscated.

A fairytale stay 🏰

I highly recommend staying a night or 2 at @themanor_house in The Cotswolds.

It’s located in the tiny, picturesque village of Castle Combe—one of my favorite stops of our trip.

We had the entire village to ourselves early in the morning and at sunset which was so magical!

I took a spontaneous trip with my friend to the countryside of England and it was everything I dreamed it would be!

The Cotswolds feel like stepping back in time with historic villages and adorable cottages). While these places might seem similar at first glance, each village was actually quite unique. These are some of the cutest villages we visited:

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

Some amazing villages and towns not featured but also worth visiting include:

- Broadway
- Burford
- Daylesford & Daylesford Farms
- Chipping Campden
- Cirencester

Are The Cotsworlds on your bucket list?

The most luxurious family-friendly stay at Four Seasons Boston @fsboston 🏢
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
If you’ve been following along, you know we recently took a trip through New England for leaf-peeing and sightseeing amidst the crisp, Autumn foliage.

We concluded our 10-day roadtrip at the amazing Four Seasons property in the historic city of Boston, Massachusetts.

Four Seasons is known for their luxury and incredible service, but they really kick things up a notch for families here:

🧸 The Mystery Toy Closet: As part of the VIK experience (aka Very Important Kid Experience), guests are given a large golden key that grants access to an AMAZING toy closet behind the front desk. Filled with trinkets like rubber ducks, slinkys, coloring books, and–Ollie’s favorite–wiggly frogs, this was SUCH an amazing and one-of-a-kind treat to experience.

🍭 The Vault: One of the newer features to the Four Seasons Boston: a small room on each guest floor filled with complimentary snacks, candy, and beverages to grab-and-go!

🛎️ Amenities: Once again, Four Seasons has outdone itself with its amazing service. This city retreat offers a complimentary coffee bar for guests (and hot chocolate for the little ones), 24-hour gym, a pool with a fantastic view, a world-class spa, and even a morning run club to get your Boston marathon fix in!

🦞 The Food: Whether it’s in-room dining you’re after, quaint tea service in-between sight-seeing, or you want to experience New England’s famous seafood, Four Seasons treats your tastebuds with exquisite table-side service at their restaurant, Coterie.

This was truly such a luxurious end to our trip, I wish we could have extended it just so we could enjoy more time at this fantastic property.

A huge thank you to @fsboston for hosting us on our dream trip to New England and concluding our stay with memories that will last a LIFETIME!
