I can’t believe it’s been 6 years since I started this blog! I haven’t written a blogiversary post since 2018, so I definitely didn’t want to miss this milestone this year. 2019 marked four years having this blog, but I had a lot of life changes going on and didn’t feel up to writing for…

Travel Influencers That (More Than) Deserve a Follow
With travel slowly coming back to life, I thought it was the perfect time to round up some travel influencers that more than deserve a follow. Travelers are my favorite type of influencers to follow online (obviously). This website wouldn’t even exist without inspiration from some of the OGs below–you can’t start a blog if…
Notes on Traveling Sober and Being “Sober Curious”
updated January 2024 I never saw my extended drinking hiatus coming. Or ever imagined that I would take a trip where I consumed no alcohol (I mean who does that?!). But 2020 was a strange year to say the least, and it lead to my traveling sober in 2021, a first for me since I…

It’s been a while since I’ve shared one of these because it feels like nothing’s happened due to COVID restrictions. Yet, life always goes on and a lot has happened (I could go on a rant but I won’t). I’ll just say wear a mask and vote Trump out of office 🙂 Laughs Laughter truly is…
