Looking for a kid-friendly summer escape in Scandinavia? We spent 11 days road-tripping through Denmark, Sweden, and Norway — chasing fjords, exploring colorful cities, and discovering some of the best family-friendly activities in the Nordics. From Copenhagen and Oslo to Bergen, Billund, and beyond, this guide shares budget-friendly accommodations, top sights, and kid-approved adventures like Liseberg Park and LEGO House.

Looking for an easy summer escape from Naples? We booked affordable, direct flights to Tirana, Albania for Memorial Day Weekend and explored the stunning Albanian Riviera. With pre-season pricing on a dreamy coastal apartment in Himarë and delicious food with sunset views, it was a quick getaway packed with beauty. That said, with long drives and only two full days, it felt a bit rushed. If you’re planning a weekend trip from Naples to Albania, this post covers travel tips, what to expect, where to eat, and why we’re already planning to come back—this time, for longer.

The island of Ischia, one of the three islands in the Gulf of Naples, is only an hour away from us by ferry. We decided to spend Mother’s Day weekend there and absolutely lucked out with beautiful, warm weather. The island, which is much larger than its neighbouring island, Procida, is known as L’Isola Verde, or the green island. It only takes one visit to understand why. Check out this post for a three day itinerary in this little corner of paradise.
