Visiting All 50 States

One of the many reasons I envy Europeans is because their countries are relatively close together which allows them to visit a whole other culture that is basically in their backyard.

The United States is so huge that seeing the whole thing is a big task, especially if you’re like me and you also want to see the whole entire world!! But I have made it a goal now to spend quality time in every one of the 50 states. We’ve begun chipping away at the East Coast with weekend trips, but I reallllly need to get out to the West Coast soon! Check out my progress which I will be updating every couple of months!

Iceland Tips Needed

In one week (ah!!) I will finally be on my way to Iceland. I spontaneously booked this trip 6 months ago and can’t believe it’s actually happening.

Anyway, I’m looking for tips, tricks, and advice from anyone that’s been there. We will be staying in Reykjavik and already have a tour planned to see the Northern Lights, Blue Lagoon, and black sand beaches. But I’d love for any suggestions inside the city or in walking distance of where things are centrally located (idk where things are centrally located, but I assume that is where I’m staying).

Any suggestions for places to eat or things to shop for would be great! Also advice on packing, Iceland in general, etc. is welcome!

Thanks in advance for all of your help 🙂

xoxo

10 Times Happily Single Girls Aren’t Actually Happy

1. When you’re lazy and bored at the same time

I want someone to entertain, but I don’t want to get out of bed or stop watching Netflix.

2. When all of your friends are going on a couple’s retreat

They invite you but you’re just going to be trying to meet other people while consistently going home alone so…

3. When you’re hungry and have no one to eat with

You want to get out of your sweatpants and go to a sit-down restaurant but you’re just alone and get two large Wendy’s fries to go instead.

4. When something unreal exciting happens.

There’s not really anyone you can immediately text or kiss or hug or ya know.

5. When your summer wanderlust is biting at you.

I want to go to this museum, this amusement park, and to see this movie so who can I force to come with me?

6. When you’re singing along to love songs but you’re not in love

Well this is kind of depressing.

7. When you’re sick and rolled up like a burrito in your bed but can’t reach the advil.

Can someone bring me soup? And medicine? And cuddles? And maybe a cure for this cold?

8. When you don’t want to go out and get black out drunk with your friends

No matter who your friends are, I’m sure their bad influences and your boyfriend/girlfriend would be a better one.

9. When you’re tired of mediocre people who last a couple weeks in your life

Maybe I could find someone who lasts a couple months?

10. When you just want someone to be there

Like having a pet, but it’s less frowned upon when you’re super attached to them.

Dating A Constant Wanderer

I have a problem with staying in one place.  I have a constant need to be in different places and meeting new people.  The world is so big and I find it so hard to believe that we are meant to stay in one place for our whole life.

How do you date a constant wanderer?  They have a need to be in different places, but they wander in more ways than one.  Their minds wander, their hearts wander, and their bodies wander. They love the thrill of an adventure and the excitement of something new.  When things get stagnant, a wanderer will leave without missing a beat because they know that that place or that person is not where they are meant to be.

A wanderer will settle down eventually.  The thing is, they are always searching for something.  If you’re going to date a wanderer – you have to be what they’re searching for.  You can’t change them or please them, you just have to be enough.  It’s not up to you because to a wanderer everything is up to fate.

While I’m young, I want to go all the places I can go and meet all the people I can meet.  This is because, at one point, I’m hoping what I’m wandering to will find me.  In the meantime, I’ll keep searching for the answers to questions I’m not even sure of.
