Ah, the Turkey Trot. I love running and I have always loved the idea of the Turkey Trot. Being able to do something good for yourself before indulging in turkey and desserts with family made me smile. It’s a great way to start your Thanksgiving holiday because it doesn’t stop with just Thanksgiving night, it’s all the leftovers we have…
I’ve been solo traveling for the better part of 20 years. One thing that you can never be too prepared for is your safety. Let’s be real here. When you’re traveling you’re moving away from your comfort zone. Even if you’re going somewhere you’ve been before. You’re going from an environment you are in full control over to one with…
You have a trip coming up. You’re so excited, as well you should be. If you’ve read part one you’ve already done your research. You have a plan of what you want to see, maybe some activities you want to do. More importantly, you’ve checked out the climate of the place you want to…
Gone are the days when you can take a solo trip on a whim, or are they? I used to be able to hop on a plane, after finding a last-minute deal and head off for a fun weekend. Can I still do that? Of course, you can! It’s just a matter of doing the prep work. I know it…
Have you ever got to your destination and had to wait for your checked luggage to pop out onto the carousel? Have you ever been in your hotel room and someone is tapping their foot ready to hit the town and you cannot decide what to wear? Or have you overpacked and realized nothing you brought with you matches anything…
Let me start by saying, I have never hunted anything in my life. It was not ever something I thought about doing. I grew up in the country. Had friends who hunted and was even a recipient of their bounties, but never considered doing it myself. For most of my life, I’ve been a tom-boy. I love sports, being active,…
I know it’s not the most popular topic to write about, but it’s something I’ve taken to heart over the last year. Before the pandemic, I thought about travel safety, but not on the level that I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. As a solo female traveler, safety is always a concern. It’s something that I’m constantly thinking…
I have been fortunate to travel to quite a few of our National Parks. I’m not an avid hiker or camper but I do both of those things to enjoy the natural wonder of these reserved places. My top 3 picks are based on the overall experiences I had at each of these parks. Without ado here are my top…
Today’s travel scene is crazy, to say the least. With country closures and travel bans working with someone whose job it is to know the travel industry has never been more important. Here are the reasons why you need a travel advisor, even if you book your own travel. Added Peace of mind I have been a solo traveler for…
I am the first to admit I am not a great camper, but I love the outdoors. Camping, for me, has always been something you do in a group. You get your friends together, bring hotdogs, marshmallows, and a ton of booze so you don’t have to remember that you’re sleeping on the ground, with only nylon covering to shield…
