Portland Oregon is one of the coolest cities on the west coast, and with fairly cheap flights there it’s a great destination for a little weekend getaway. It’s known for its great food, hipster culture, and beautiful roses. And while you probably won’t be able to eat all the delicious and amazing food this great city has to offer in…
I love wandering the streets of a new city looking for street art. You can tell a lot about a city’s local population by the kind of art they put up on their buildings. For instance cities with a lot of street art tend to have and accept creative populations. Art about social issues or politics shows that people are…
Montenegro is one of the most beautiful and probably underrated destinations in Europe. Nestled in the western center of the Balkin Peninsula it is a gorgeous combination of coast and mountains with a lush national park that rivals any here in the US. If you are looking for outdoor adventure in Europe, Montenegro is the place to go. From water…
Joshua Tree National Park is one of my favorite places, I find something about the desert landscape out there just magical. I’ve gotten to camp there a few times now and have enjoyed the desert sunsets, unique rock formations, and Dr. Seuss-esque plant life. My biggest concern when I planned my first trip there was which campground to choose to…
The camping season is upon us! I am stoked to get out and enjoy nature by both car camping and backpacking this summer. And while I’d like to think of myself as an experienced outdoors person I know I could always use a few reminders about taking care of the outdoors. No matter if you have spent a ton of…
Summer is coming! And here’s to guessing you’ll probably be getting on an airplane sometime in the next few months. I’ve been taking lots of short little trips around, so I’ve got my carry on/personal item packing down to a science. So when I say “carry on” I’m talking about the bag you have with you on the plane that…
My road to digital nomad-ery has been filled with trial and error, and a lot of learning and adjusting my behaviors. I’ll be honest when we first started traveling I had no idea what I was doing work wise, and while I knew it would be difficult and take some figuring out I made some epic mistakes in that first…
If you haven’t heard of Hvar yet, let me introduce you to this beautiful little island in the Adriatic Sea. From the marble stone streets along the water to the hill top fortress of Hvar Town, to the quiet beaches, blue cave, and hillside lavender fields Hvar is sure to capture your heart. The scenery is picturesque and the people…
Springtime in the desert is a magical time, the temperature is just about perfect as it’s not too unbearably hot yet and all the desert plants are in bloom. Joshua Tree National Park itself is beautiful and has such a unique landscape and the surrounding towns are quirky and cool. To enjoy this beautiful desert oasis you can either camp…
Graduation season is upon us! And if you’ve got senioritis maybe you should plan a trip (but also keep studying!). The time after you finish school and before you join the real working world is an amazing time and the perfect opportunity to go somewhere you’ve never been to. The trip I took after graduating from college was one of…
