  • New Mexico Bucket List

    New Mexico Bucket List

    New Mexico is known as The Land of Enchantment and if you spend even a few hours there, it’s easy to see why! I’ve spent more time in New Mexico than any other state except the one I live in (Colorado) and even my family is from New Mexico originally. So whether you’re passing through…

    Travel Goals – Arkansas

    Arkansas recently piqued my interest in a somewhat strange way. I was watching a Discovery channel show called Expedition X (an Expedition spin-off by Josh Gates).

    Road to Santa Fe

    I haven’t taken a true solo trip in over a year. Last year I (unregrettably) spent doting on my new baby niece. I decided that it was time, however, to get back on the road, even if that meant a quick overnight trip. It was a great chance to make the trip to Santa Fe.…

  • Travel Goals – Texas

    Travel Goals – Texas

    I don’t know how I’ve gotten away with visiting Texas twice and not making a must-see list, but before I visit a third time, I think I better get to it! Texas is a large state but it also has a lot of wide open space, and while I do enjoy city activities, I usually…

    The Coolest Thing I’ve Done in Each State

    It’s time to reflect on where I’ve been and I thought what better way than to reminisce on the coolest things I’ve done in each state I’ve been to. I’ve currently driven through 11 states and while I haven’t spent a lot of time in each one, I still thought it would be a fun…
