Credit: Anthony Russo @focusedviews After calling Tallahassee “home” for almost seven years, I feel like I finally know the ins and outs of this small, southern town with big city elements. It’s crazy to think I’ve been here that long. I arrived as just a 17-year old, right out of high school, to start the …
My weekend in Ocean Beach was enlightening, to say the least. OB, as its residents call it, in San Diego proves the point that California beaches, and the dwellings on their edges, isn’t like other towns. Beaches that are just a few minutes drive away from one another are completely different scenes, from rocky diving …
When I think about places I want to travel next, a huge number of my list is in my own back yard. Between awe-inspiring national parks and new terrain to explore, traveling in the states offers so many diverse experiences. I’ve always thought a really cool way to see it all would be to plan …
Growing up, I spent a lot of time at the barn with my horse, Tully. We competed together, hung out in huge, grassy paddocks together, and grew up together. If I had a bad day at school, sitting in Tully’s stall braiding his mane or just sitting nearby was where you’d find me. I loved …
There is no mistaking that the fjords are a highlight of Norway. In fact, the western side of Norway is so spotted with fjords that it’s certainly overwhelming to figure out how to best see them in a way that aligns with your travel style. If you aren’t into hiking, you definitely don’t want to …
On this recent trip to Europe, Copenhagen was the destination I knew the least about but was most excited to see. After only spending three days there, it was easy to say that visiting Copenhagen was my favorite part of this trip. Why Copenhagen? What better way to share what makes visiting Copenhagen worthwhile than with …
I have never felt so still in time as I did driving through the fjords in the western regions of Norway. It was overcast, making it impossible to tell where the snowy mountain tops ended and the clouds began. And all of that blending of snow, clouds and dark forestry was reflected in the little …
I can’t say Oslo was on the top of my bucket list before we found $350 round-trip tickets out of Orlando that flew directly to Oslo. It just wasn’t a destination I had heard a lot about. Turns out, there are endless things to do in Oslo. I can only name one person I know who …
It’s quite incredible to drive around one of the world’s most renown cities, Miami. Better yet, it’s even better to discover over-the-top amazing places to eat and drink in Miami. I love the uniqueness of Miami, the good and the bad. Yes, traffic is noteworthy but crisp skyscrapers line the sunny skyline. Palm trees stretch …
A couple weeks right before going abroad, things honestly start to get a little bit overwhelming. When we booked our trip a couple of months ago for Europe, it felt like I had so much time to plan. Now we fly to Norway NEXT WEEK and it sure has crept up. I found myself wishing I had …
