    Travel Goals – Florida

    Coming to you hot and fresh today, I’m talking about Florida. I can’t believe I haven’t talked about Florida yet! Partially due to all of the attention Florida is getting with back to back hurricanes but also heavily influenced by 2nd Try releasing their Miami scavenger hunt, it’s time. I’ve never been to Florida and…

    Spend a Day in Carlsbad Caverns National Park: Itinerary

    Carlsbad Caverns quickly rocketed up to one of my favorite national parks. If I lived nearby, I could easily see myself watching the bats fly out weekly, if not nightly! For those who are interested solely in the underground, seeing Carlsbad Caverns National Park in a day is easily doable. Here’s your Carlsbad Caverns itinerary…

    Carlsbad Caverns National Park – Carlsbad, New Mexico

    I have wanted to visit Carlsbad Caverns National Park for 10 years? 20 years? As long as I can remember! It was an absolute treat and shot up to my top 3 National Parks to visit. The caverns themselves are the biggest draw, but did you know there are miles of hiking trails in the…

    Guadalupe Mountains National Park – Dell City, Texas

    Guadalupe Mountains National Park is a hidden gem of a national park. The Pine Springs Visitor Center is located just under 2 hours east of El Paso, TX or about an hour southwest of Carlsbad, NM. I always recommend a trip to the visitor center when you visit a national park, but this was actually…

    How to Have the Best Travel Experience

    Everyone has a different style of travel but everyone wants to have the best travel experience possible. Personally, I like to do as much and see as much of a locale as I can.

    Travel Goals – Massachusetts

    It’s been awhile since I’ve written down some travel goals, so welcome back! I struggle making good lists when I’m not feeling inspired, so when the inspiration hits I must put metaphorical pen to paper. That’s exactly what happened when I started planning a birthday trip to Salem, MA for Halloween. Rather unfortunately (but not…

    We’re jumping straight into the deep end for this one and starting off talking about cheese! Nothing is as infamous about Wisconsin as cheese, so of course everyone needs to get their cheese on when visiting the state. Wisconsin Cheese Obviously, there are so many different places to find cheese, but these are some tried…

  • Travel Goals – Rhode Island

    Travel Goals – Rhode Island

    I absolutely love making these lists for small states. Everything is so compressed into a small space that I can visit a higher concentration of places. It makes it so easy to get a great scope of the state as a whole. This time I’m focusing on the smallest US state, Rhode Island! What was…

  • 2023 Solar Eclipse

    2023 Solar Eclipse

    The magic of the eclipse is something to behold, whether it be a solar eclipse or a lunar eclipse. In 2017, I drove to Wyoming to see the solar eclipse in its totality. I stood in a field while the sun was covered and was able to experience twilight in the middle of the day.…

  • Travel Goals – South Dakota

    Travel Goals – South Dakota

    I don’t usually do Travel Goal posts back to back, but since the Dakotas are the first pair of states I’m writing about, it just felt right! I also found a few times that while I was exploring things to do in North Dakota, people would consistently mention South Dakota. They each deserve their own…
