    Just thought I’d mention that Steamboat Springs’ Winter Carnival is coming up in a couple of weekends. You can find more info here. Can’t wait to see you up there!

    Hey Kiersten,

    just stumbled upon your web page today, and I’m already planning the next 3 years of my life! I’ve never really travelled before (I come from extremely boring family, lol), and now I’m starting to be able to afford trips and have a truly chronic case of wanderlust. All I do on the internet is look up about destinations and research on them!

    I have questions to you regarding Ski Week (there are less reference for this than the Yacht Week, obviously):

    1) For a girl from the tropic (Indonesia) who has never ever skied, let alone touch snow. Do you think, the Ski Week experience would be a good start, or would it be too overwhelming, considering that should I decide to go, I would also be going solo?

    2) What are your suggestions for ski gears/equipments that I would have to provide by myself (not available on the site)?

    3) I see that at this point, all 2017 destinations are sold out. I’m planning to go to Obertauern Ski Week in 2019, do you know when the ticket sale for each year starts?

    Sorry for the amount of questions! I hope this could help the others too! Cheers from Indonesia!

    • Hi Anis! The Ski Week is for all levels and they do offer instructions (plus you don’t HAVE to ski). It’s very social and you’ll share a room with other people so traveling solo isn’t an issue. You’d want to bring all your own ski clothing but you can rent gear once you’re there, and have the option to order to rent in advance. Not sure when tickets go on sale, so check out their website 🙂

Escape the winter chill for a place where the sun shines all year ☀️ @waldorfastoriacostarica
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
This brand-new property is truly a dream—incredible ocean views, luxury amenities, and more pools than I’ve ever seen at a hotel in my entire life.

🧖‍♀️ The Spa

A sanctuary of modern wellness and local healing traditions—volcanic mud rituals, rainforest-inspired therapies, and personalized treatments that feel deeply grounding.

🛎️ Amenities

World-class service, beachfront access, curated excursions, a stunning collection of pools, and elevated touches everywhere you turn. Newly opened, but already operating like a seasoned 5-star icon.

💦 Kids’ Club

With crafts, toys and an outdoor playground—traveling with littles has never felt so easy (or so fun). 

🥑 The Food

Fresh, locally sourced Costa Rican flavors blended with elevated dining. Oceanfront bites, poolside snacks, and beautifully crafted dishes you don’t have to leave the property to enjoy.

🦜 Nature & Wildlife Adventures

Costa Rica never disappoints when it comes to nature, but this trip was next-level. We took a private boat tour with @nolimitadventurescr and the kids are still talking about it. We spotted turtles gliding through the water, discovered remote beaches, and even squeezed in some tubing—pure magic for the little ones and the grown-ups alike.

We’re already counting the days until we come back. ✨ If you’re looking for a luxury family-friendly getaway in Costa Rica, this is your spot!

A huge thank you to @waldorfastoriacostarica for hosting us on this sunshine-soaked getaway!

I found foodie paradise… and it’s in New England 🦞🍩🍺
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••⁠
More specifically, Portland, Maine!

Last fall I took a roundtrip around New England for some leaf peeping, fall frolicking, and most importantly, for all of the eats. And while there are a LOT of incredible places to eat around New England, it’s Portland that has some of the absolute best foods.

From sweet potato donuts to fries made in duck fat to some of the best oysters I’ve ever had, this place is literally heaven.

Some of our fav spots:

If you want even MORE of the best local food spots around all of New England, I’ve compiled an extensive guide.

Let me know if you want the MAP and I’ll be sure to send it your way!
