Seattle Travel Guide - tips for visiting Seattle, where to eat, what to do, places to skip // ew & pt

Hello, world! I just got back from Seattle, Washington, a city that’s been on my travel bucket list for years.

I went with my boyfriend and we spent five days and four nights there, which felt like the perfect amount of time. We stayed in a really cozy and beautiful AirBnB studio apartment about 15 minutes from Seattle’s city center (or, I guess, what seems like the city center to me … where all of the attractions are).

Here is my ultimate Seattle travel guide, including the highs, lows, must-visits, must-eats, and all of my best travel tips and tricks for checking out this city.

The Ultimate Copenhagen in Winter Travel Guide – Where to go, what to eat

 The ultimate guide to visiting Copenhagen in December during the winter - where to go, what to eat, what to see / ew & pt - Copenhagen Travel Guide

When I first told people I was booking a trip to Copenhagen in December, they said: “Why Copenhagen?”

And when I met some people in Copenhagen in a bar, they asked: “Why here?”

And it was sort of a random decision. But when I decided back in July that I wanted to book a trip, I knew I wanted to book it in December. And Copenhagen seemed like the perfect place to be around the holiday season. And, it sort of was. The weather was comfortable for early December and there was holiday cheer and string lights everywhere,

My friend and I went for about five days (honestly could’ve done everything in four) and we stayed at the CPH Studio Hotel, which I can’t recommend enough. The shower was weird but the price was amazing and it was so close to the train station, which was a huge win. The room was also the biggest hotel room I’ve ever stayed in. We also flew Norweigan, which was really quite pleasant! I turned 22 while mid-air on a Norweigan flight!

Without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about traveling to Copenhagen in December based on my travels: where to go, what to skip, what to eat, and where to shop.

12 Tips for Planning A Trip With Friends

12 Tips for Planning A Trip With Friends - How to Plan Vacations with Friends Spring Break // eyeliner wings & pretty things

I’m a huge fan of planning. The idea of color-coded Google Sheets makes me swoon and having a printed out list of places to visit is incredibly exciting. That being said, not everyone is like that and most friend groups are not made up of people like that (it’d probably be a little too much if everyone had the same Type A personality).

Detailed plans or not, traveling with friends is always a great experience. Though the experience is great, the actual planning can oftentimes be a lot more stressful than planning a solo trip or a trip with family. Here are some tips for planning a trip with friends that will help you minimize stress and maximize fun.

To me, there are few things greater than a bangin’ lipstick color and New York City. You know what’s better? Being able to make your own custom lipstick IN NYC with your best friend because she’s a great gift giver (and she read your post about cool things to do in NYC). Bless her for one of the coolest gifts ever.
