My 4 step travel planning guide
Choose a Destination/Book a flight This is an interesting phase for me. I can be so incredibly random with my choices sometimes. Often my trips are planned around events, festivals, certain times of year to avoid being a grumpy butt in hot weather, Ed Sheeran concerts…the list goes on. The beautiful part of social media […]

Finding my True Self…in Sedona
Many of us have had a point in our lives where we are lost, not sure of which path to take, not sure of our life purpose. We sometimes lose the motivation and drive to better ourselves. We feel stuck. Summer 2021 was that time for me. The pandemic took away my escape, travel. Sure, […]

Italy…when NOT to go…and how to be VIP at Ed Sheeran Concert
Oh Italy, you are full of amazing history. Your tiramisu and gelato cannot be beat. Your coffee is delicious, but I wish you’d take a breakfast lesson from the British.

You traveled during a PANDEMIC?

Things I learned during my Solo Van Life Week
Holy cow. Car rental prices have skyrocketed in the United States. One of my favorite parts of traveling in Europe is how easy it is to get just about anywhere using public transportation. In the US, its much easier to have a car to get yourself around. While deciding where to continue my US National […]

Where it all started…
March 2003. I had an opportunity to visit Ireland with a group of students from the college I attended. Sure, I had been to just about every Carribean Island and Florida more times than I’d like to admit, but I wanted more! When I learned of this opportunity, I knew I had to jump on […]

Margaritaville St. Thomas at the End of Hurricane Season…on a Budget.
This whole trip started with me sitting at my computer searching for how to get paid to travel. There I was, on the brink of quitting my job. No real plans, but I do my best thinking while on vacation, and I always travel for my birthday. When you search for travel deals and ideas […]
