My school offered me the opportunity to teach in the International Baccalaureate Programme this upcoming year (think gifted kids who are beyond gifted), and let me choose from several different locations for training. Amidst amazing places like St. Petersburg and Lake Tahoe, I noticed a new town in a new state I had never visited: Albuquerque, New Mexico. I decided that while I was learning … Continue reading next stop, new mexico
I love traveling with my friends, so planning my bachelorette party somewhere amazing was crucial. I wanted to go somewhere with great food, amazing nightlife, history and culture, and a place I had never visited. Enter, New Orleans, Louisiana. Hearing mixed reviews of The City That Care Forgot, I was a little hesitant because I’m not the biggest drinker (contrary to what this post will … Continue reading big easy bachelorette
Costa Rica is the perfect destination for a first time excursion out of the United States. With a multitude of activities to enjoy, eco-friendly and conservation-centric lodges and expeditions, an unofficial second language of English, and a laid-back-enjoy-life mentality called Pura Vida, it’s easy to feel like a Tico in no time. We decided to take a 4 day whirlwind trip to La Fortuna, located … Continue reading costa rica chica

I really can’t think of any way to start this blog besides saying Alaska is way more enormous and wild than you could even imagine. The 49th state has so much to offer, but is so vast and spread out its impossible to see everything in one trip. For this vacation, we decided to conquer The Interior (Alaska’s website has really great itineraries, including driving, … Continue reading alaska adventures
Whenever I travel, I feel like a salesperson for the state of Delaware. Small but mighty, one of our most beautiful bragging rights lies in the jewel of the state, the Delaware beaches. Between Cape Henlopen State Park in Lewes, the towns of Rehoboth and Dewey, the quieter Delaware Seashore State Park, and Fenwick Island, there are plenty of places to enjoy the sun, surf … Continue reading doggie destinations: delaware beaches
Well, technically I went the other way, but that wouldn’t fit a song lyric, now would it? Craig made me wake up at 4:30 to watch the sun rise over the Grand Canyon. The sun didn’t rise until 6:15. Oh, and did I mention it was 18 degrees? A girl nearby whined the whole time to her parents (and I think I got a glimpse … Continue reading i went from phoenix arizona all the way to sedona
We left Page and began our journey to the Grand Canyon this morning. There was no service or radio stations along most of the way, so Craig and I sat in silence as I contemplated how much I wanted an iced coffee. Luckily there was a Native American owned and operated roadside diner that made amazing southwest breakfast burritos. It made me sad that we … Continue reading canyon cutie
After leaving Vegas, we headed to Utah to check out Zion National Park. Originally we had planned to do this and Bryce Canyon, but things are really far apart in these states! Also the time zones change, so you randomly lose or gain an hour. How does anyone know what time it is out here? When Craig realized we were going to miss out on … Continue reading from z to a
This week marks the commencement of The Great Southwest Adventure, aka Craig and I cramming in as much sightseeing as humanly possible. Our first stop was fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada.

I seriously need to remember if I plan on doing something, it’s probably … Continue reading waking up in vegas
