I had the most amazing getaway in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains (Haywood County) full of epic adventures! From tubing on the Pigeon River to paddle boarding on Lake Junaluska; from hiking to epic mountain views to chasing magnificent waterfalls; from horseback riding along the border of Great Smoky Mountains National Park to staying in […]
To say Point Reyes National Seashore amazed me would be the understatement of the year. Never had I imagined falling so head-over-heels in love with all its magnificent beauty and abundant wildlife. Nor did I realize just how much I’d feel transported to Ireland or any comparable world of magic. In this post, I’ll give […]
Searching for the top places to see near Hanksville, Utah? After spending two weeks exploring all around the area, I can say, without hesitation, that it is one of the most surreal looking places to adventure in the country! This area of southern Utah will have you feeling like you’ve left planet Earth! My extreme […]
Upon our journey to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, we stayed in the small western town of Dubois, Wyoming. We never thought to ask “where can petroglyphs be found?” but, nonetheless, we uncovered the hidden secrets of this cowboy land thanks to the help of some unexpected friends. Like all good travels, a surprising […]
Hey everyone! I wanted to write this little piece just to explain what’s going on in my life, what travels and adventures are coming up, what obstacles came my way earlier this summer and more. I wish to begin including this “personal content” section on my website so you all can get a better feel […]
My first stop along my Utah road-trip is a one day, one night pit stop in Mesa Verde National Park (the only place on this trip we visited NOT in Utah..however, we couldn’t pass her up!). This place is full of ancient cliff dwellings and pueblos from the Anasazi people, created thousands of years ago […]
I’m a huge fan of camping and I camp, in a tent, often. I’ve had countless, amazing camping trips, far and near, in the past. I’ve also had my fair share of not-so-great nights in a tent. One night stands out above the rest, without a doubt, when it comes to particularly bad camping experiences. […]
Driving across the country, to me, is the quintessential feeling of freedom – hitting the open road for days on end, stopping wherever your heart desires and watching the sun rise and set over a new horizon each day. It perfectly encapsulates my personal “American Dream” – life on the road: constantly moving while experiencing […]
It’s no secret that Southern Florida (SoFl) is a popular travel destination, especially for snow birds looking to escape the frigid, brutal winters in search for some warmth and sunshine. SoFl provides JUST that… along with its abundance of sandy beaches, turquoise waters, wildlife aplenty, endless mangroves, countless islands, everlasting everglades and a whole […]
It’s full-fledge winter time right now in the northeast and most people think that means a halt in adventuring. Well I say, “HECK to the NO” to that! It’s never too cold or too snowy to go exploring – you just have to pack the right gear and clothing and find the right spots for […]
When my husband planned a long weekend getaway to the Adirondacks in upstate New York, I could have never imagined just how fun our time there would be. I had only heard of this region but never thought much of it – I had never sought out a trip there in my travel planning and […]
The Hawaiian Island of Oahu is such a phenomenal vacation destination with endless possibilities. In fact, there is so much to do in Oahu that you can easily find yourself overwhelmed while planning your paradise getaway. Therefore, I have compiled a list of some of my favorite “must-dos” that I feel will greatly enhance your […]
Badlands National Park in South Dakota holds a very special place in my heart – it was the first National Park that I ever visited AND it was my first trip “out west”. I’ve now been there multiple times and have LOVED every second of every day I’ve spent there. I think it is a […]
As Iceland’s tourism continues to boom, I have had many people asking me “where to go, what to see and what to do in Iceland”. In my opinion, one week isn’t quite enough time and one should definitely NOT just stick to the south (even though that’s the most heavily touristed area because of its […]
