    Day 1: St. Pete, FL to Pensacola, FL

        December 27, 2013 Today was our first day of the road trip to Utah! In the end, it was decided that Katie was going to come with me for the trip as my copilot and traveling companion. We took off from St. Pete around 10:30am, a little later than was planned, so our […]

  • 4 SLC Coffee Shops to Fuel Your Caffeine Addiction

    4 SLC Coffee Shops to Fuel Your Caffeine Addiction

    In the past 2 years, I have started drinking coffee regularly. It all started on my cross-country road trip with my sister to Utah from Florida. When you’re driving for 10-12 hours a day, caffeine is a must! My sister and I would visit Starbucks in whichever city we stayed in overnight and keep on […]

  • The Ultimate 9 Step Guide to Perfect Blog Posts

    The Ultimate 9 Step Guide to Perfect Blog Posts

    Happy Wednesday! As I sit here drinking my super pretty latte, I am scrolling through Twitter and Facebook looking for interesting blogs to read, and the question becomes, “What do I find to be an interesting blog?” What types of titles grab my attention, and more importantly, keep it. Is it the pretty pictures? Is […]

  • My Declaration of Wanderlust

    My Declaration of Wanderlust

    Recently, I’ve been noticing a lot more social commentary via social media outlets on the ideals of millennials, traveling and wanderlust. There are a couple different ideas floating around the internet recently, and it’s made me both agree and contemplate how I fit into this all with my personal views. Somewhere in Oregon near Crater […]

  • The Fine Art of Microadventure

    The Fine Art of Microadventure

    I enjoy going on short adventures, generally close to home, to try something new or go somewhere new and exciting. I don’t like spending much money on my adventures, if possible. I also don’t get many days in a row off work (i.e. working two days, off one, and on another couple) unless I specifically request […]

  • Backpacking to Lake Mary

    Backpacking to Lake Mary

    I am just going to start off by saying that an adventure is not an adventure until plans change. We did “technically” go backpacking to Lake Mary, but we also went night hiking back. But first, let me explain… Brighton and I don’t have much experience with backpacking. We’ve been on lots of day hikes […]

  • REI 1440 Project

    REI 1440 Project

    I know I’m super late to the party on this one, but I stumbled across this REI 1440 Project on Twitter, and I love it! It’s about celebrating every minute spent outdoors. There are 1440 minutes in the day, and the site catalogues the photos people submit into the minute that it was taken so […]

  • The Key to a Happy Life (After Graduation and Beyond)

    The Key to a Happy Life (After Graduation and Beyond)

      I’ve had some realizations about life recently. First, I am not in this strange in-between period between semesters or even degrees. I have no current plans to return to school. I have my bachelor’s degree, which I am content with for the time being. This is a strange feeling since I have been in school […]

  • Fall is in the Air!

    Fall is in the Air!

    Good Afternoon! So it is officially September (where did the time go this year?!), and the first signs of fall are in the air. When living in Florida, fall for me was just a sign of not ungodly hot weather and maybe some fall festivals in the area. Living in Utah, autumn brings mixed feelings […]
