Feeling overwhelmed by trip planning? You’re not alone. We’ve been there, lost in a maze of guidebooks and “must-see” lists. But here’s the thing: your dream vacation shouldn’t feel like a checkbox exercise. It’s about getting messy, embracing the unexpected, and feeling the real pulse of a place.

I’m Linda, a seasoned traveler with 50+ countries under my belt and 6 homes shared with my partner, Dan. This site is a labor of love, based on our own experiences, with curated itineraries that pack in the must-sees alongside hidden gems that’ll have you feeling like a local, and travel tips we learned along the way. Forget picture-perfect postcards, we’re about the memories you’ll gather, the language you’ll fumble through, and the city’s heartbeat you’ll feel beneath your feet.

Sure, we’ve got your “Top 10 things to do in Rome” covered. But we’ll also point you to that tucked-away Balinese temple and share how to make French people love you. You’ll find plenty of listicles for quick inspiration, but our passion lies in sharing the messy, authentic adventures we’ve lived ourselves.

So ditch the guidebook overload and let us help you create travel memories that last a lifetime, As We Saw It. Your adventure starts now.
