It's Always an Adventure...

Trip Dates: Friday, September 28th, 2018 - Monday, October 1st, 2018 I’ve been perfecting the best work/adventure balance during the months of September-November and now that things are calming down - just in time for Winter Break - it’s time to provide you all with a recap! Originally, my next post was going to be all about our impromptu trip to Petrified Forest and Saguaro National Parks but I’ll save that for another time. For now, I have to share about my solo trip to Vir

Trip Dates: Saturday, March 24th, 2018 – Friday, March 30th, 2018 First and foremost, full disclaimer: I am sitting in the backseat of a campervan while driving through the picturesque South Island of New Zealand and feeling particularly inspired to write this post that I’ve actually been putting off for quite a while. The inspiration stems from the beauty of New Zealand and how much it reminds me of Iceland, but, it’s significantly better because the sky is actually blue and

Trip Dates: Friday, January 19th, 2018 - Sunday, January 21st, 2018 This post is a little hard for me to write mostly because vulnerability is not my strong suit.

So, here it goes... On Christmas Eve, I was in Buffalo and decided to book a trip to Seattle to visit a 'friend' who would be there for

Trip Dates: July 8th-July 13th, 2017 (part two) Hopefully you found your way to this post by way of "Canada, Part One: Vancouver, Garibaldi Provincial Park, & Whistler" but, by chance you didn't, I emerged from my hostel in Whistler, British Columbia in the wee hours of the morning on Saturday, July 8th, hopped in my rental car, and started the eight-and-a-half hour drive to Alberta, Canada - passing into another timezone - by way one of the most scenic drives in the world: t

Trip Dates: June 27th-30th, 2017 This is the last post for my (epic) Southwest road trip. I started in Havasu Falls with Girls Who Hike LA and then parted ways to continue onto the Grand Canyon and Page, Arizona, and finally my first visit to Zion National Park in Utah. From Page, AZ it was about a two hour drive to Zion, not bad - not bad at all! I came into Zion through the East side of the park and had a bit of a drive to the visitor center. Pro tip: if you put "visitor ce

Trip Dates: Grand Canyon National Park: June 25-June 27, 2017 Page, Arizona: June 27, 2017 Consider this an extension of my last blog post (Havasupai Heaven)... After an epic weekend in Havasupai, I said goodbye to the awesome girls of Girls Who Hike LA and started on my solo road trip to the Grand Canyon, Page, Arizona, and onward to Zion National Park. I started down the long road seeing Hualapai Hilltop and the magic of Havasu in my rear view mirror. Luckily I was trading
