How I Conquered my First Solo Trip to Mexico

Lately, I’ve been very nostalgic and reflective. Maybe it’s because this year is coming to an end. I’ve been thinking a lot about the content I want to write about and the future of this website. And I randomly thought about my first-ever solo trip to Mexico and how far I’ve come. Eight years ago, I may have had an early quarter-life crisis. I was fed up working, waiting for a paycheck, paying bills, and repeating the cycle. I had...

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...

Martha’s Vineyard – A Pleasant Surprise

To quote the great Joseline Hernandez, my year of travel, was more about quality not quantity. I did not do nearly as much traveling as I typically do. I only used my passport twice this year and I only went to one new country! However, I do feel like I went on some really nice and big trips this year. I was able to visit both Napa Valley (read about it here) and Martha’s Vineyard, places I thought I would...

Hidden Gems in Idaho: What to See Besides Yellowstone

On my current quest to visit all fifty states, I did a roadtrip through Idaho and Montana. Both states, along with Wyoming is home to Yellowstone National Park. My overall knowledge of Idaho before my visit was potatoes and waterfalls. I was looking forward to long scenic drives and just being one with nature. And of course, stuffing my face with as many potatoes as I could find. My first stop in Idaho was at Shoshone Falls Park in Twin...

Lollapalooza 2024, VIP is always Better.

Yes, you’ve read the title correctly. And yes, your’s truly was living the good life during Lollapalooza this past weekend. I went from crappy general admission tickets, followed by VIP and ultimately ended up in Platinum. It’s crazy because just last month in July, I snuck my way up to the front row seats at Essence Festival! This time around I didn’t have to look over my shoulder every two minutes, scared that security was gonna kick me out! In...
