Winter is the perfect time to pack your bags and discover a world transformed by snow, ice, and chilly air. There’s no shortage of incredible destinations, from alpine slopes to twinkling winter markets. Whether you seek adventure, relaxation, or pure winter magic, these spots promise unforgettable memories. I’ve had the pleasure of visiting all five locations below, but none of them in the winter! My number one pick is geographically the closest to me but also probably the most expensive!...

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...

Is the Napa Valley Wine Train Really Worth Your Time and Money?

As the year ends, I look back over the numerous trips I’ve taken, and I’m really in awe! I didn’t travel as much as I typically do and only used my passport twice this year. However, I did take some big girl, grown woman trips. In June, I was fortunate to visit Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts and I just completed my Napa Valley journey. Both places are pretty expensive to travel to in the States, and I’m still so surprised...
