Steamboat Springs, Colorado

Steamboat Springs is one of my favorite ski towns in all of Colorado. After living in a few of the more posh and tourist towns like Vail and Aspen, Steamboat Springs takes the win. Their snow is known as champagne powder making it some of the best snow for skiing. Downtown offers a mix of upscale restaurants along with casual breweries with amazing happy hours!

Krabi, Thailand

Krabi is a small area in Thailand known for it’s picturesque beaches, longtail boats, and rock formations.

Ao Nang is a bit touristy but still holds that local, laid back, and slower pace lifestyle with many amenities and things to do.
