I love nothing more than a solid traveling adventure. Whether it’s close to home, say in Michigan, or a fifteen hour flight away, say in Australia, I am down to explore and learn all about new places. And as a lover of traveling, I thoroughly enjoy looking and living vicariously through other travelers photos. There is something about getting the travel bug from a friend or Instagram user who has been to a far off land you have never been to, but am dying to go to. I first found my own travel bug back in 2005 when my dad shipped my brother and I off to the motherland to meet our relatives and immerse in the Italian culture. If I could visit a new country every month and totally fall in love with the culture of the land, I would! I definitely have an insatiable appetite for wanderlust and adventure. Even when The Mister Project and I can’t get away for a bit, we’ll explore our own city. Perhaps we’ll explore a new neighborhood, take a long ass bike ride or go on a food and pub crawl throughout the city. It’s our way of enjoying new places without going too far. We take off today for Boston and as I was going through my Instagram to check out photos from our last trip there in 2014, I instantly got bit by the travel bug yet again. OUCH! I strolled through photos of Bali, Italy, Tulum….I want to go back to them all. Unfortunately, I can’t at the moment, but thanks to Instagram, I get to take trips down traveling memory lane whenever I want. Here are my top favorite travel photos from my Instagram account, @themidsis. I’m sorry in advance if you want to pack up your bags and take off, however, I encourage you strongly to do so!

You guys. Michelle and I cried laughing when we sa You guys. Michelle and I cried laughing when we saw the second photo. We were going for pondering forest photos to show off my walkin’ sticks. Did I misplace my neck and turn into the Hunchback of Notre Dame?

Hygge is humble and slow. It is choosing rustic over new, simple over posh, and ambience over excitement. In many ways, hygge might be the Danish cousin to slow and simple living.
