I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, in my early 20s I lived with my parents…
Before 2020, my years were spent traveling. In 3 years alone I went to Iceland, Thailand, Egypt, the Netherlands, and more. And now? I’ve always had travel anxiety. I get to the airport early and basically think something is guaranteed to go wrong. I don’t sleep the night before, I get sick to my stomach.…
Another year of domestic travel is calling to us since travel long internationally just seems SO stressful. New Orleans is perfect for a quick getaway. I guess when I think NOLA I think culture, food, spooky history. But most people think of drinking and beads and Mardi Gras. We went for the former - but…
Pre-pandemic Rosie would have thought you were more than crazy if you said she would go 2 years without international travel. Just 2 years ago I was at the point in my life where I was traveling out of the country at least 3 times a year. It’s weird enough to have to write this…
It’s been almost a year since we moved out of New Hampshire (more to come on that) and I was hoping to get to New England sooner than this but there’s been this pesky pandemic happening. We decided to break up the verrrry long drive by hitting a couple stops along the way. The first…
Every summer for the past 4 years, my boyfriend and I have taken time to meet up with some of our college friends. Usually, we plan a trip away and this year we went up to the Lake George region! I mentioned before that this is the year of domestic travel and we had never…
I miss traveling so much, but I've come to terms with the fact that we won't be traveling out of the country in 2021, I doubt we will even try to do so until late 2022. So I am deeming this year the year of domestic travel. Which is honestly great for me because I…
I've spoken a lot about how the hardest part of the pandemic for me was losing a sense of joy. One of the things that brings me the most amount of joy is traveling, and obviously we haven't been doing much of that. I will cautiously say that things are finally feeling like they are…
Well we all know by know that we're in a pandemic. We can't go anywhere, there's not much to do, and if you do something (even if it's safe or to stimulate the economy or an approved activity) you'll probably still be chastised for it. I've seen a lot of people on my social media…
It’s been almost a full year since I last traveled, which is quite the culture shock to someone who was traveling out of country at least twice a year and supplementing that often with domestic travel. I used travel to escape. Escape the mundane 9-5. Escape the real world just for a little. It was…
