https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDajpdl5ITU For the Fourth of July weekend, Evan and I took a trip from Salt Lake City to Jackson, Wyoming. The drive was relatively short, so we were able to condense our trip to accommodate both our work schedules and allotted time-off. We began our trip on Friday, June 30th, and made the four to five hour trek to Colter Bay Village, inside Grand Teton National Park. I surprised Evan for his birthday with cabin glamping! Once we “set-up camp,” we wen[...]
https://youtu.be/jy1i8n_GyaMAloha from Oahu, Hawaii! A week ago, my boyfriend and I were visiting the beautiful and lush Island of Oahu. We stayed at Aqua Aloha Surf Waikiki, which is located just a few short blocks from shopping and Waikiki Beach. The hotel was not the Ritz, but it certainly got the job done and allowed us to have an enjoyable vacation. We spent a whole week in Hawaii. This enabled us to explore various parts of the island, and not just spend our whole time in Waikiki (th[...]
https://youtu.be/yV6h03qU0yMA few weeks ago I visited New Orleans, LA, with my boyfriend, Evan. We stayed at The Old No. 77 Hotel and Chandlery. While we did not experience any paranormal activity ourselves, a former employee (bartender at a neighboring hotel) told us a tale that some guests who had stayed on the third floor asked him about horses running on the roof... interesting, I know. That said, we spent three full days in New Orleans. We had a chance to explore some of city's main attra[...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MrXhbOt1jik Last weekend, February 12-15th, my boyfriend and I were in Seattle, WA. We arrived late evening February 12th and departed the morning of February 15th. This meant we had all of Saturday and Sunday to adventure! I had booked our flight tickets in December as a Christmas gift for Evan. I figured we would travel during this time in February as it was a three-day weekend for me and it would allow us an opportunity to get away and celebrate Valent[...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nq6Y7J0tAdA A few weekends ago I visited Colorado with my two high school best friends. Ali had just gotten engaged, so of course we all needed to be together to celebrate! Ali currently lives just outside Denver, Colorado, while Sarah is in Tahoe and I reside in Santa Barbara. So it was nice that we could all be together for a weekend again. We did a good amount in three jam-packed days (especially with things being shut down due to COVID). That said, I[...]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsqNM6MxDZc A few weeks ago, during the Labor day weekend/week, a few friends and myself took a trip to Utah's Mighty Five. The Mighty Five comprises Zion, Bryce Canyon, Capitol Reef, Canyonlands, and Arches National Parks. We flew out of LAX (Los Angeles Airport) into LAS (Las Vegas Airport). The flight went smoothly, but considering it was a pretty packed plane, I made sure to keep my face mask on the entire flight (COVID times). After an hour or so f[...]
I was born and raised in South Lake Tahoe, CA. Since I've moved, I typically come up to visit the lake one to two times per year. I enjoy Tahoe's year-round seasons, mountainous and beach terrain, and tap water (that's right, no filter necessary). It's a great place to raise a family, and I feel fortunate to be able to call this place home. There's a lot of great hikes, beach/water recreation in the summer, and snow activities in the winter. Tahoe is a dream destination, which is why so[...]
Santa Barbara, CA, is my current place of residence. Many people from around the world come to enjoy our sandy beaches and mountainous ranges. It is a paradise for lovers, friends, families, and college students alike. It is definitely not idealistic for new home owners (it's just very expensive), by that is a trade off for living in one of the most beautiful and serene places in the world. That said, I absolutely love it here, and I am enjoying my time in Santa Barbara before a new adventure co[...]
