I try to travel as often as I can, but I'm also a full time student so I don't really have the skills or the time to have a like real life "career," that will give me a salary to easily support all my travel ventures. That being said, I often have to get creative [...]
For my first weekend trip in Europe, I thought there would be no better place to visit than Prague. It's beautiful, close to Hungary (where I am studying abroad), and extremely affordable. The Czech people have done an outstanding job of preserving the buildings as well as their culture which is what I really loved [...]
Sedona is by far one of my favorite places in Arizona. There’s beautiful red and white rock, an adorable town, and plenty of activities ranging from off-roading, to hiking, to swimming. If you are in Sedona and looking for a family friendly hike, or just a short hike that offers some great views I can’t [...]
Sandwiched away between Dixie National Forest and Grand Staircase-Escalante NM lies Bryce Canyon National Park. Let me just start by saying that there is absolutely nothing I could compare this place to because it is so unique. The park is famous for its 'hoodoos' which are the rock spirals within the park.

This past week, I traded my hometown Kentucky scenery and headed south of the border for some fun in Mexico. I flew using American Airlines miles, however since it is low season plane tickets are about $240-$280 depending on when you buy them.

This place is undoubtedly one of the most magical places I've ever been to. I remember finding it from fellow hikers and falling in love with the beautiful photos that almost seemed too good to be real. So, I planned a trip to Provo and decided I had to see this beautiful natural wonder for [...]
"Backpacker's tickets" have honestly saved my life. If you don't already know, they are the cheapest of the cheap when it comes to airline tickets. Yes, you will load the plane last. Yes, you will probably be in the middle. And finally, yes you will not have access to overhead bins. When I first read [...]
Summer is finally here, which means exploring new places for so many people. So many of our national and state parks reach their peak activity levels in the summer, which unfortunately means there’s a larger number of people acting carelessly in our protected lands. If we don’t treat these places with the respect they deserve, [...]
For as long as I can remember, I've had anxiety and it wasn't always easy for me to open up about. Anxiety is more than just worrying about things, anxiety effects you both mind and body. Being in such a transitional stage in life is difficult at times. At this age it feels like the [...]
Ahh, dorm shopping. Nothing feels quite as anxiety provoking, but also exciting as buying things for your first college dorm. I remember reading so many different blogs, and by the end of it I felt 1) overwhelmed, 2) like I needed to buy every single item in Target's home section. However as the year went [...]
