Travel Adventures in Alaska and Europe

I’m Brea, an Alaskan with a serious case of wanderlust. I was born and raised in Alaska and spent my 20’s living in Germany and traveling around Europe. Once we started a family, we moved back to Alaska and spent 8 years there. And as of late 2025, we’re on a new adventure living in Northern Italy!

I strongly believe that travel isn’t meant for the few and isn’t something you should wait to do. I love off-season travel and finding great deals when I can, and getting off-the-beaten path away from the crowds whenever possible.

These days I’m learning about our new home in Vicenza, Italy and am planning as many European adventures as I can (well, around school schedules) – Read More
