So I know I just did a trip to Sedona just a month ago, but this birthday trip to Lassen Volcanic National Park and Mount Shasta (staying in Redding) kind of had to happen for two reasons: Reason #1: Back in April, I was supposed to go to Missoula, MT and attend a Wildfire Journalism Workshop [...]
This trip to Sedona was my yearly birthday trip, but weeks earlier. Italy and Greece was supposed to be planned for my 40th, but due to COVID-19, even as I sit here and type, traveling to Europe still has not been lifted. Despite COVID-19, I needed this trip because I was exhausted from everything: the [...]
For my annual President's Day Weekend getaway, I decided to become one with nature: Redwood National Park. This was also the last of my "bucket list" items to visit for the state of California, so I am officially excited to say that I have seen most of the state and really the last place I have [...]
Time for my annual quick fall getaway trip! This time I decided to travel to Calgary, Canada. Why Calgary you ask? Just west of it is the home of Banff National Park, Canada's oldest (and prettiest I might add) park in the country. It also has gorgeous views of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, glaciers and [...]
In my last post from a couple years ago, I discussed "Why I Travel Alone" and the Pros and Cons that come with it. I constantly get asked what my tips are when I travel solo or get astonished reactions when I tell people I do travel solo. YOLO people, YOLO. Plus I'm single, so [...]

For a quick President's Day Weekend getaway, I decided to head up to our state's capitol, Sacramento, and the Napa Valley wine region! Both have been on my bucket list for quite some time. It was a power trip, but I got a lot of tourist spots in that short amount of time. The cost breakdown: [...]
I had to use an free airline ticket before the end of the year. Since I had a long Veterans Day Weekend because I work in the government full time, I decided to take a trip to a place that I have been wanting to visit since I moved to the western part of the [...]
For Labor Day Weekend, I decided to go back to a couple familiar places and explore them all over again: Paso Robles and San Francisco. Plus, I wanted a very affordable and cheap getaway and this fit the bill just fine. The last time I was in Paso Robles was for my 32nd birthday in [...]
For my 38th birthday this year, I decided to go back to Europe to a magical and picturesque place called Iceland. To be honest, Iceland was never on my bucket list to visit. One of the reasons I booked this trip was because I was dying to get back to Europe and was searching for [...]
