Do I splurge for one night to end-cap my 17 month dream trip? I just might. Standard vs. deluxe ocean view for a measly $50 more? That was the easy decision. After exploring four of the Hawaiian islands extensively, I opted to “go for it” instead of visiting the additional, quiet paradise of Molokai. IContinue reading “Disney’s Aulani 1-night stay”

Utah is without question my favorite state to visit. It is so uniquely diverse and an adventurer’s playground. Around every corner is a new trail, hidden cave, expansive vista, rugged backcountry, winding slot canyon, towering cliff side, explosive sunset and all around nature’s beauty at it’s best. With only 6 days to get my yearlyContinue reading “Utah fav pics & quotes”

It has been so fun to work on these quotes during my downtime while lounging around during recent airport layovers. The memories are so vivid in my mind and I can’t help but crack a smile and be so proud! Which do you like best and why?!?

For a measly $30 one way, I hopped onto the ferry to the island of Lanai for a day of R&R and no expectations but to just chill. After spotting a few whales putting on a show while continuing on their migration to warmer waters, I knew it was going to be a memorable dayContinue reading “Lanai, Hawaii WOW”

I bought my first car my sophomore year in college…. a used white VW rabbit. It lasted a couple years until it died on me in the middle of the rural Virginia mountains on my way back home for Christmas break. I went on to buy my dads next 2 cars, both Ford Escorts. ReliableContinue reading “Parking Wars”

I’ve never been more inspired and motivated. It’s amazing what a little adventure and finding your true passion can do. Taking pictures and then trying to articulate the experience through my own eyes has become a new outlet for me to sink my somewhat lack of creativity into. It was extremely enlightening to not beContinue reading “Hawaii fav pics & quotes – part 1”

The day I get home from one of my crazy adventures it is always the same – throw everything into the washing machine and fall to sleep in my own bed. That feeling of complete comfort makes all the days of sleeping in the back of a van or tossing/turning on a red eye flightContinue reading “Restless”

I did it for the challenge. If you could add value to each team, would you go for it? My first love was always basketball, so finding a school that embraced ‘ball was my top priority. Actually most people don’t know that my second best sport was a toss up between volleyball and softball (ultimatelyContinue reading “You played 4 collegiate sports?”

There are a few openings on a last minute Disney cruise crossing the Atlantic, do you want to go? A no brainer. After a stop in the coveted Castaway Cay for a day of pampering ourselves, we set off for 6 days at sea without stepping foot on land or seeing other ships. Most peopleContinue reading “Transcontinental Cruisin’”

For those that know me, it’s no surprise that I picked the 3:10am flight out of Cairo via Athens to Chania, Greece. Why would I choose to brave the crazy Egyptian traffic at 12:30am (yes you read that correctly in this city of 300 million residents), fight keeping my dry contacts in all night andContinue reading “Ahhhhhh a Greece 1st timer”
