Arches National Park
On Saturday, we woke up to the Amphitheater of Hoodoos in Bryce Canyon National Park. It’s quite the view from Bryce Point in the morning. All of the research I did said that the best place for sunrise was not at Sunrise Point (odd, right?), but at Bryce Point. Erica and I were a little […]

Face Your Fears on Angel’s Landing [Zion National Park]
This weekend was a marathon of epic adventures. Erica came for a visit to Salt Lake, and I was determined to show her why Utah is awesome! She wanted to experience mountains, canyons, trees, red rocks, and adventure time. On Thursday, we went skiing/snowboarding. I finally made it down my first green run (not the […]

Ice Castles in Midway, Utah
As part of my Utah winter experience, I went to visit the Ice Castles in Midway, UT. In a word: astounding. Entirely made out of ice and water, the structures were pretty large. They had various activities, mostly catering to families but still entertaining for adults. There was an ice maze, ice canyons, live Elsa and […]

Tubing at Gorgoza Park
Today, I got to cross another thing off my bucket list! I went tubing at Gorgoza Park near Park City, UT. Basically, it’s just like sledding on a tube. There were not too many people my age going without kids, but hey! I am a kid and I have no shame. The weather was pretty […]

Sundance 2014
While I am here in Salt Lake, I am lucky enough to be here during Sundance Film Festival. I am no movie buff in the slightest. I’m actually probably rather behind on mainstream movies, but I felt like I should try to take advantage of my opportunities while I am here! I decided I was […]

Hello Ski Slopes!
January 19, 2014 It seems like everyone in the SLC area is into either skiing or snowboarding. I’ve been wanting to try it out since I heard I was going to be in Utah for the winter season. I was a little nervous since given my freak accident of a broken wrist last semester, it […]

Snowboarding Lesson at Brighton Resort
“Are you a skier or a snowboarder?” That’s a pretty typical question for the winter sports group in Utah. My answer? Well, I’m neither… yet! As you readers might recall, I tried skiing with my company a couple weeks ago. After the rather traumatizing experience, I think I was hesitant to learn any new sports […]

Floridian, meet Snow
As I settle into my new home for the semester, I am exploring the Salt Lake and the new environment. I’ve never lived in a snowy climate, so many things are new to me. Katie and I walked to the park near my house and took in the sight of a winter wonderland. We saw […]

I Love Queenstown!
June 1, 2013 Queenstown has definitely been my favorite city that we’ve visited so far. I love the city feel with the mountains and nature activities incorporated into their lifestyle! The Remarkable mountain range which is the scene that Queenstown is frequently pictured with is truly remarkable. People come here for an adrenaline rush and […]

Rainy Routeburn
May 31, 2013 Yesterday was an exciting and very wet day! Our itinerary had us hiking the Routeburn Track for pretty much the whole day. The Routeburn is one of the 9 Great Tracks (or trails) in NZ. It’s 32km (about 20 miles) long… I’m not sure how many miles that is though. The guide […]
