I know I am not alone when I say I’ve cancelled at least five trips this year. My travel itinerary for the year upon the start of 2020 included a trip abroad to Europe with my mom (would have been her first time!), an awesome trail race adventure in Zion National Park, among others. Throughout …
Oh, Spain. Where to even begin? You could visit this country 50 times and not see it all.

In 2016, I experienced Oktoberfest for the first time, and Luke for the second. I very well understand why attending this world-famous beer festival is a bucket list item. The German culture, beer, food, traditions, music, and everything else you can imagine is too much fun for words. About Oktoberfest You will be along the …
This summer involved a few small trips, like driving a few hours for a weekend here and there, but mostly focused on our move from Tallahassee to Miami, Florida. That took up a huge amount of resources, especially the two most important ones for travel – time and money. Thinking about how to feel like …
Ever since my trip to Portland and Las Vegas in 2016, I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about that deep shade of hunter green that I’ve only seen in the sky-reaching pine trees of Oregon.
