    As a solo woman traveler, I had done a great deal of research before making the reservation with Marvelous Morocco Tours, The planning of my trip was made easy by Iddir, and I booked 4 Days 3 Nights Marrakech Desert Tour.

    Iddir showed me a country of beautiful, varied landscape. He gave me much information about the history, culture, and religion. He provided opportunities for me to visit villages, nomad caves, and interact with local people.
    Iddir was patient respectful with my many questions and answered all of my emails promptly. He is an excellent driver, knows the roads well, knows exactly where he is going, and always looked after me, concerned for my well-being and comfort.

    I highly recommend Iddir and his Marvelous Morocco Tours. See and experience for yourself : marvelous-moroccotours.com

    Hi Everyone!

    Great article! I just booked my first solo trip to Spain this morning!!! It was a spur of the moment impulse, but it is something I have wanted to do for a long time.

    I turned 27 last week and realized life is too short not to travel. If I continue to wait for friends and family to have the time off work or the money to travel, things will never align. So I have decided to put my big girl pants on and plan an impromptu trip to Madrid and Barcelona for 12 days next month. I am nervous, but excited. I feel very empowered, but I am trying to convince my parents I will be okay. My mom is worried I won’t have as much fun alone, but I have also experienced trips with other people in the past that weren’t that fun.

    If anyone has any suggestions on places to see or places to eat at, please let me know!!!! I am a rookie at this solo travel and I want to make this an amazing experience.

    Thanks.

    Casey

Did anyone else catch the dusting of snow in the Cotswolds?! I couldn’t believe my eyes!

We had a week of perfect sunny weather with only one afternoon of rain (also so unexpected for November!) and, on my last morning in Bibury, I woke up to this incredible scene!

Love the Sound of Music? What if I told you that you can visit the real Von Trapp family’s lodge from the famed musical starring Julie Andrews in the quiet town of Stowe, Vermont?

Day 7 of my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) started the day by driving through Smuggler’s Notch—it’s a short and super windy drive through a mountain pass that’s seriously beautiful.

Helpful Tip: Get started on the drive as easy as possible. Traffic is notorious during foliage season so we hit the road at 7am and had it to ourselves!

We then spent the entire day exploring nature trails and hanging with animals at @trappfamilylodge, an Austrian-inspired mountain lodge with 300 acres of farmland in the middle of Stowe.

The Von Trapps, made famous from the movie The Sound of Music, fled Austria during WWII and ultimately landed in Stowe, VT where their hospitality lives on today. Did you know the Sound of Music is one of the top 10 highest-grossing films of all time??

Had we had a little more time, we also would have added:

🥾 Moss Glen Falls
⛪️ Stowe Community Church
🍻 @alch3mistb33r
☕️ @blackcapvermont
🥞 @butlers_pantry_stowe 

We did manage to catch a glimpse of the famed Stowe Community Church from afar, but any closer meant fighting traffic and huge crowds.

Come back for day 8 and the final video of the series as we explore the beautiful and family-friendly parts of Boston!

Arguably the MOST “autumnal” day of the trip: 🍎 🍂 🍩
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Welcome back to my Autumn New England Road Trip (with a toddler) series! We’re over halfway through our road trip on Day 6 and this was the perfect day of all things autumn.

After a slow morning leaving @woodstock.inn, we were on our way to the famous town of Stowe, Vermont!

I had originally created a jam-packed itinerary, but traveling with a toddler can definitely call for some readjusting and going with the flow. We made 2 of the stops I had planned:

🍎🌳 Hunger Mountain Orchard
🍎🍩 @coldhollowcidermillvt 

If we had a little more time, a lot of people add the 🍦 @benandjerrys factory tour on this day. 

We ended our day by checking into the @trappfamilylodge —owned by the real family from the Sound of Music where we enjoyed the lodge and property before dinner and bedtime.

Be sure to come back for Day 7 with more on this amazing property and all the furry friends that live here!
