At Loving The Layover, we understand that traveling requires a lot of time. For those of us who are limited to long weekends and 2 weeks of vacation, seeing the world can feel impossible. But we don’t let my busy schedules keep us from doing what we love most—exploring the world!
We’ve created this community so that others can do the same.
Whether its booking a perfect day trip or making the most out of your weekend, we’re here to help you embrace every moment of travel, even the layovers!

Who’s behind “Loving the Layover”? Great question! We are two Californians who are determined to see the world and experience amazing hospitality along the way. Unlike some lucky bloggers who have been able to quit their day jobs to travel, we still hold normal 9-5’s. In our spare time, we find new adventures wherever we can.

A Small World– Last but not least, we have a section detailing our advice for traveling to the different Disney Resorts all over the world. Because who doesn’t need to let out their inner kid once in awhile?
