Since IG hates on photos gotta get them in how I c Since IG hates on photos gotta get them in how I can! Honestly sunset in the lavender fields is everything, probably one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever witnessed. I don’t have much information to give today I really just wanted to share these photos 😬.

Check out my last 3 reels with @oneikatraveller for information on experiencing lavender season in Provence, France. These photos are from a lavender field in Valensole.

P.S. the skirt is from Amazon and they have multiple colors!

Everything you need to know about visiting the Lav Everything you need to know about visiting the Lavender fields in Provence, France (save + share this post):

Lavender season varies each year but falls between June and August.

Provence is the region but there are various cities with fields. Valensole is the most popular and where the fields we visited were located but there are also fields in Sault, Manosque and Luberon. The time frame that the lavender blooms is different in each city. Our visit was July 3-5th but the bloom and harvest time could change next year.

The best airport to fly into is Marseille. Airlines that fly to Marseille from the US are Air France, British Airways, Swiss, Royal Air Maroc, Iberia, Brussels Airlines, ITA Airways, Lufthansa and TAP Portugal. If you’re already in Europe you can also fly Pegasus, Ryanair, Tunisair, Aeroflot, Ethiopian, Easyjet, Vueling, Eurowings and Air Algerie. 

If you’re visiting from Paris you can take the train to Marseille! 

From Marsielle you will need to take the train or bus to Valensole or Manosque as your home base. As you’ll 100% need a car to get around to all the Lavender fields you can also rent a car from Marseille and drive as finding a rental car in the smaller towns is more difficult. 

What questions do you have about the lavender fields or Provence?

My top 5 favorite international destinations I’v My top 5 favorite international destinations I’ve visited!

1. Botswana- I did an exchange program here where I lived with a family in the village of Oodi right outside Gaborone one summer in high school. It completely changed the way I view travel. Besides getting to learn so much of the countries culture from my host family to learning a bit of Setswana to camping in the Okavango Delta it will always be one of my favorite trips.

2. Turkey- from the people to the food to the landscape to the sea it was everything. I visited Istanbul, Cappadocia, Antalya and Izmir and the country has so much to offer with varying landscapes. 

3. Rio de Janeiro- We loved our family trip to Brazil, the food, the people, the vibrance of Rio was everything. So many beautiful hikes, learning how to dance Samba, learning how to make Moqueca, going to a futbol match in Maracana Stadium, wow the energy!! Oh and the nightlife was 🔥. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the country.

4. Kenya- This country has so much to offer. We visited Amboseli National Park, got to do a walking safari amongst zebras and giraffes in Lake Naivasha and even ran into a hippo 😅. We visited a Maasai Tribe who gave us such a warm welcome inviting us into their homes, teaching the girls how to make fire from scratch and we even say 5 cheetah take down a topi, seeing a live kill was insane! Ended the trip relaxing on Diani Beach swimming in the stunning Indian Ocean.

5. Madeira, Portugal- the landscape on this island is insane. Exploring I often felt like I was in 20 different places, like how is all in one island? Loved the hikes here, being above the clouds, seeing all the waterfalls, spotting dolphins in the ocean, and the food was so good! I also enjoyed Lisbon but Madeira was everything!

What have been your favorite international trips? What country is highest on your bucket list (doesn’t have to be from my list)?

Should I make a list for my favorite US destinations (they’ll probably surprise you).

Answering the most asked question on my vacuum sea Answering the most asked question on my vacuum sealed carry-on only reel (save + share this post). This is how my clothes look once I take them out of the bag. Do you think these are really wrinkled? They were vacuum sealed for roughly 22 hours.

If you’re going to visit more than one city the best way to pack these is to pack each bag per city. Then all your clothes for that one city are all together and you only have to open one bag at a time. Then reseal that one bag with all your dirty clothes before going to the next city and don’t worry about the other ones getting dirty or smelling! You can label each bag with a sticky note or tape with a marker to know what bag has what clothes.

The link to purchase the bags and hand pump is my bio.

Back to School Shopping with OshKosh

August 6, 2019      Kids Fashion, Lifestyle, Lifestyle

‘This post is sponsored by OshKosh; however, all thoughts and opinions are my own.’

Even though we’ve traveled all over the world with our kids sending my daughter off to elementary school might be the hardest and scariest thing I’ve had to do. Luckily OshKosh has eased my mind in one aspect of her starting kindergarten as they’ve made Back to School shopping a breeze. Whether your child has to wear uniforms, can dress in their own style or a mix of both OshKosh has got you covered. Best of all their low prices keeps enough money in our pockets to afford our next vacation.

Why We Go Back to School Shopping at OshKosh

Shopping at OshKosh is always easy. I love how their back to school uniform door busters are at the front of the store and easy to find. Shopping with two kids is harder than flying long haul with kids for me so walking in and seeing exactly what I need without having to search endlessly is always a win. From shorts to skorts to dresses to pants and polos, OshKosh has everything my daughters school requires.

OshKosh Always Has Clothing with Positive Words

While my daughter has to wear uniforms Monday through Thursday on Friday it’s casual and she is able to express herself in her attire. Everytime we walk into OshKosh she falls in love with graphic tees she sees. There are always positive phrases that reinforce the positive reinforcement we give her at home. While pretty girl sayings are cute “Genius at work” with math symbols floating on the shirt gives her the confidence that girls are great at math and she can be successful. Even her little sister who is only going to preschool loves knowing her shirt says “Girls can do anything!” OshKosh has clothes from size 3M-14 so it’s your one stop shop for back to school essentials.

OshKosh Has the Cutest Shoes

Not only does OshKosh have school clothes they have the cutest shoes my daughters love. We were able to get these great pairs with their buy one get one free sale! With closed toe shoe requirements at school it’s nice to have options besides sneakers.

OshKosh Has Affordable Prices

OshKosh has such affordable prices especially with their door busters. We used their 20% off coupon to make their competitive prices even lower. I can’t believe we were able to save so much money! Below is a coupon you can use on your back to school purchases. Good luck on the first day of school!
