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 […]

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
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 […]

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 […]

Saying Goodbye to New Zealand
June 7, 2013 Today was our last day in New Zealand. That is crazy. It seems like just yesterday that I got here, not 3.5 weeks ago! We finished our classwork today. I felt like our final was like an IB exam because there was a short multiple choice section and then short answer, and […]

Almost Done in Dunedin

Goodbye Queenstown, Hello Fiordland
June 3, 2013 Today was another day of travel from Queenstown to Te Anau. I was sad to leave Queenstown behind because it’s been my favorite place so far, but I was excited to go to Te Anau because it’s near Milford Sound in Fiordland. Unfortunately, the only road that goes to Milford Sound is […]

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 […]
