College athletics rivalries are filled with vicious energy and excitement. So when you have a personal connection to the game, it can be downright crazy! So I jumped at the chance to see my fav boys in blue take on the Hurricanes. Roadtrip time! I joined the Johnson clan for an epic pre-game tailgate partyContinue reading “Duke vs Miami 🏈”

A tiny remote cabin for a long weekend getaway is always my idea of a good time. Can we be friends?!?! Embrace the quiet….. but this was next level. After an extra long day exploring the vastness of Big Bend, my 51st National Park, I was more than ready to find my own little casitaContinue reading “Southwest Texas Casita 🌵🏠”

I knew this experience had the potential to be transformational, but I had no idea how emotional I would become meeting this truly bada$$ group of 19 young, female sports/business professionals. Over my 25 years in the business world, I’ve attended my fair share of leadership classes and seminars with the high hopes of conqueringContinue reading “Women Worth Following”

I’ll find any excuse to visit my five beautiful nieces & nephews. Full of spice & boundless energy, these miracles are living proof that good things come in small packages. I inevitably get roped into a celebratory jump on the trampoline or being shown the new additions to each of their rooms, but my favoriteContinue reading “Auntie duty 🥰”

Why Ohio? A short, 3-day weekend excursion in mid-May, prior to the summer rush, took me to my 52nd of 63 US National Parks in Cuyahoga, Oh. Nothing I enjoy more that an excuse to spend my time off hiking in the backcountry. Despite my unexpected flight change from 7am to 7pm, touching down duringContinue reading “Cuyahoga NP 🏞️ 🥾”

The wonders of nature at it’s best! Slot canyons are prevalent in the rugged southwest US, but I’ve also seen some very impressive versions in the desolate Badlands of South Dakota & the deep southern Georgia backcountry. These crazy crevices that are sliced out of rock faces by Mother Nature’s yearly flash floods, post wakingContinue reading “Slot Canyon Wonders 🥾”

I’m the queen of weekend escapes. When I can find $11 flight deals, there is no limit to where I will end up. This was the year I make another dent in my quest to hike in every national park, as Big Bend hits my ticker #51 of 63 total. This vast skyline as farContinue reading “Big Bend Adventure ⛰️🥾”

Let’s do this! I rarely jump at the chance to return to any location, but I’m counting down the minutes to jump on a flight to Phoenix in early April. And I’m equally excited to bring a dear friend along for her first hiking excursion EVER & can’t wait to see her reaction on seeingContinue reading “Sedona Round #3 🏜️”

I’m definitely spoiled and addicted to the adventure life. My travel vernacular continues to broaden with every trip that I add to my world resume. I prefer a fast paced, rugged venture out in nature (which isn’t for everyone). To truly get lost and experience the little nuisances in a foreign country, is the perfectContinue reading “Gadventures 22 trips 🌎”

I love the vibes in early March. College basketball brings an excitement (in my opinion) like no other. The “win or go home” mentality is contagious and so very addictive. I typically will frequent the Duke campus once a year to relive my college days and revel in a game in the legendary Cameron IndoorContinue reading “ACC basketball champs 🏆”
