Hot Air Balloon Adventures: My Amazing Experience in Sedona

On my current mission of visiting all fifty states, I took a trip out west to the very scenic Arizona. My itinerary while visiting was to explore Antelope Canyon and Grand Canyon. After visiting both, I searched for local attractions and came across advertisements for hot air balloon rides. To my surprise, it was a few who even took tours over the red rocks. During my road trip in Arizona I was obsessed with the mountains, sandstones and red rock’s....

A Peek Inside the Most Beautiful Canyon in America

You know how most touristy places don’t live it to the hype? Well this was not the case while visiting Antelope Canyon in Page, Arizona. Antelope Canyon was my Windows desktop background on my first computer! I know it’s old school, but do you remember it? I didn’t have much information about it, but it was nice to look at. A few years ago, I looked in a travel magazine, and there it was again. The gorgeous canyon was right...

The Time I Ate Too Many Weed Edibles in Colorado

How could a small container of weed brownies reck havoc upon a short four day trip to Denver, Colorado? Such a sad and shameful tale. I can’t believe I’m even sharing it. *And in case someone from my job stumbles across the post – just know that I’m done with edibles! FOREVER! But anywho, let’s start from the beginning. Once upon a time, I booked a cheap roundtrip flight to Denver, Colorado for like $29 each way. I flew with...

How to Find the Best Tours in the Whitsunday Islands

I have the hardest time writing about my experiences in Australia and New Zealand. A cheesy grin always stretches across my face, just thinking about the memories. From Alabama to Australia, is a huge deal to me! Like I actually went?! One place that I absolutely had to visit while in Australia was the Whitsunday Islands. The remarkable beauty of the islands is constantly rated as one of the top beaches in the world travel to. If you don’t know...

What It’s Like to Walk Among Lions and Cheetahs

I can’t even find words to describe the day I went on a morning walk with two lions and a cheetah! Honestly, it’s every word you can think of between amazing and phenomenal. It’s also quite a few more choice words after arriving at the park. It’s when I realized that maybe I did not think this excursion all the way through. But, let’s start at the beginning. My first steps ever on the African continent was in South Africa....

Why Chefchaouen Is the Perfect Blue Escape

But driving to get very photogenic blue city, was the most dangerous and scariest event of my life. I really wanted to start this post off by writing about how pretty and blue it is. But, the first thought that comes to mind is the hazardous drive up a mountain in the dark. I can’t even write about it without feeling anxious and jittery! It was the bad! I went to Morocco with a good friend of mine a few...

Weekend Itinerary: Enjoying the Best of Napa Valley

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of visiting Napa Valley for the first time. It was one of those trips that I’ve always felt like was out of reach and exclusively for the rich. Fortunately, I made my little way on up there and had a wonderful time. It wasn’t nearly as expensive as I assumed it would be. In Napa, I stayed at the Westin, my favorite hotel brand of all time. The Napa Valley location was of...

On the hunt for Frodo Baggins in New Zealand

During my first trip to Australia, I had the toughest decision to make. Do I want to visit neighboring country New Zealand or the closest island of Fiji? I only had two weeks in the land “down under” and couldn’t do all three. Ultimately, I decided on New Zealand because of Hobbiton. Lord of the Rings trilogy is one of my favorite movies! Frodo Baggins, the main character in the film, lives in the shire (village) in Hobbiton. The actual...
