Let’s go to Europe

Europe…a continent consisting of 50 countries with about 225 different languages and 28 different currencies. Where do I even start planning? How do I decide where I am going? These are questions I ask once I decide that I am heading to Europe again. This trip started with a plan to meet some family friends…

My Tour of the PNW…Portland

My last stop on my mini US adventure was to Portland, Oregon. This was not my first trip to Portland but I wanted to hang with my friends for the weekend and do a little wine and beer tasting. I took Amtrak from Seattle to Portland which was just a few hours and very scenic….

My Tour of the PNW…Fairbanks

My next stop on my PNW was to Fairbanks, Alaska. I really didn’t know anything about Alaska and even when I booked the ticket, I was not quite sure where I was flying in the United States. After looking at a map, I realized I was very far north and not anywhere near where I…

My Tour of the PNW…Seattle

I have been a bit MIA lately but the travels are starting up again. Living in the United States I think I take for granted everything that is within a short flight from me or even a short drive. I took a few weeks to visit friends and family in Seattle, Fairbanks and Portland. The…

Football Season 2015

As much as I love to travel, I am not made of money and sometimes must stop and restock the funds so I can take off and play again. With that being said, I still managed to take some fun weekend trips to watch my favorite sport: FOOTBALL! One of my goals in life is…

I am exhausted just thinking about it. I picked up books as I went along and left them wherever I finished them. Some I really…

Books travel just like people

When I travel I always have an actual book with me and not just a nook or a tablet. When I finish the book I leave it wherever I finished it and I leave my email address in the book with a little note. I have probably left over 50 books around the world and…

Amsterdam

When most people think of Amsterdam they immediately think of the legalized drugs and the Red Light District. I went because I heard it was a beautiful city with amazing architecture and entertaining people. While traveling in Peru in March I met Dutch guy that threw out the offer of something like, “If you are…

This is why I travel

My good friend and amazing photographer and writer Brittany McLaren has started a blog called Sunshine and Rosé. She has various sections including amazing places to eat, travel, stay and one called in inspire.  I was lucky enough to be featured in the inspire section talking about how I travel the world and what I…

A hidden little gem in Belgium…Bruges

Bruges is a quaint little city in the Northern part of Belgium with a population of just under 120,000 people. It is an incredibly cute place that tourists often take day trips to from Brussels as it is only a one hour train ride each way. However, I had friends that went and told me…
