I'm pretty much always convinced something is going to go wrong when I travel. I get to the airport early, print out all my receipts, and check my luggage about 50 times to make sure I have everything. Yet, I always get nervous. Even though nothing has ever drastically gone wrong, I always think that…

5 Don’ts For When You’re Traveling
1. Don't forget a back up plan Even trips where you're winging it require some kind of plan. You never know when the bus you bought tickets for will get delayed and leave you with no ride to the airport (cough, cough, Greyhound). 2. Don't overpack Carry ons are really all you need. I usually…
Post Travel Blues
On the last day of my trip, there is always a little bit of excitement. I'm excited to sleep in my own bed again, have access to all of my things, see my friends and family. But as I sit in traffic on the last leg of the trip home, I overwhelmingly feel dread. Traveling…
Day Trip To Storm King
Sometimes making the most out of your weekends means driving 4 hours on a rainy day. Last weekend I went to Storm King Art Center which is located in New Windsor, NY. It’s a sculpture garden that features different installations over 500 acres. It was an absolutely stunning and vast place. The sculptures and installations…
My Trip To Vermont!
I took advantage of the three day Labor Day Weekend by visiting Vermont. I had a feeling Vermont would be one of my favorite states and it did not disappoint. It reminded me a lot of Portland, Maine - but better. Things we did: Hiked Elmore State Park - a little tough, but a decent…

My Trip To Portland, ME
Over 4th of July weekend, I took the 6 hour trip to Maine - or 9 hours if you hit weekend traffic like I did. I've been making it a point to spend my weekends wisely and try to explore my American backyard while I can. It's so easy to spend a day driving to…
My Trip To Montreal!
Over Memorial Day Weekend, I took the 7 hour drive up through the border to Montreal. Last year, I did the same thing but went to Toronto. Both times were for an early birthday celebration and both times didn't disappoint! We were sort of in Montreal during the off season, so some places weren't serving…

Weekend Pennsylvania Trip
I get bored so easily, therefore I travel often. Changing scenery often helps my restlessness. Valentine's Day weekend was the perfect time to get away. We initially planned a trip to visit multiple abandoned places like Centralia and the abandoned Pennsylvania turnpike. When we reached our first destination, we quickly realized the snow from a…
