A little about Us!
Partners in Life, Travel & Adventure
Hey there! We’re Lauren and Dan Firth, a recently married couple with an insatiable love for travel. Our journey together started long before we tied the knot in the heart of New York City, but it was there that we truly solidified our shared passion for exploring the world around us. From weekend getaways to international adventures, we’ve realized that travel is so much more than just a hobby—it’s a way of life.
We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to see the world, regardless of time or budget. That's why we created this space to share our travel inspiration, tips, and recommendations with you. Whether you're sneaking in a quick weekend trip between workdays or planning a longer adventure, we want to help you make the most of your travel experiences without breaking the bank.
On our blog, you’ll find everything from budget-friendly travel hacks, destination guides, and hidden gems, to advice on how to balance a 9-5 job while exploring the world. We’ve learned a lot along the way, and we're here to share what’s worked for us—and hopefully inspire you to pack your bags and set off on your own adventures!
So, join us as we explore the world, one trip at a time—because life’s too short not to travel!

The story so Far!
Our story began in May 2018 when we met and instantly clicked. As we got to know each other, we quickly discovered our shared love for adventure, and before long, we were dreaming of far-flung destinations together.
Our first trip as a couple was to sunny Florida, and it was the start of something special. Exploring It was the perfect way to dive into our travel journey—and we haven’t stopped since! From that moment on, we’ve made it a priority to explore as much of the world as possible, even while working full-time 9-5 jobs.
In May 2024, we took our biggest adventure yet—getting married in the heart of New York City in an intimate elopement ceremony. It was a day we’ll never forget, and after saying our vows, it wasn't long before we headed to Italy for our honeymoon. We soaked in the charm of Florence, the beauty of the Lake Garda, and indulged in all the pasta we could find.
Our adventures didn’t stop there! We recently had the incredible opportunity to visit Tromsø in Norway, where we were lucky enough to witness the magical Northern Lights. We’ve also explored the sunny coasts and rich cultures of Portugal, Spain, and France. Each trip leaves us with new experiences and memories, and we’re always on the lookout for the next adventure.
Our travel journey doesn’t end with these trips—next up, we’re planning a trip to Japan! From the bustling streets of Tokyo to the serene beauty of Kyoto, we can’t wait to immerse ourselves in the rich culture and unique experiences Japan has to offer.
