“We will hopefully get to see the Northern Lights,” The amount of times that Thomas, my tour guide and owner of the tour company that I used, Chasing Lights, emphasized the word “hopefully” was almost enough to make me worry. Like many people, I was initially naïve to think that all you had to do was go to Norway to see the Northern Lights, but I quickly learned...
Initially my interest in going to Bergen was sparked when I discovered a train route I could take with my RailEurope flexipass that goes from one side of Norway to the other. It starts in Oslo and ends in Bergen and has several other scenic stops you can make on the way. Since I always enjoy a challenge, the idea of traveling across the entire country while...
Leave it to me to choose my next travel destination based on the cheapest flight without fully considering exactly why the flights were so cheap during this time of the year. Yes, I knew it was winter in Norway, and yes, I knew attempting to go chase the Northern Lights in the Arctic Circle was going to be beyond freezing, but I was not expecting an actual blizzard...
via Matador Network by Alyssa Ramos GETTING THESE SHOTS AND FOLLOWERS sometimes ain’t that glamorous! Some shots take forever to get, some are accidents, some are planned, and most are heavily edited. And most of these shots also got me a lot of weird stares while I was taking them. Here’s a bit of backstory: Jump To: Toggle1. Paddleboarding on Lake Powell2...
For the majority of the time last weekend, the songs “Into the Woods”, and “Are We Out of the Woods Yet” were permanently stuck in my head as I ventured around Big Sur for the first time. Big Sur had been high on my “to-go” list, and finally I made time to do the 5 hour road trip up the California Pacific Coast to go check it out...
One thing I’ve learned from traveling is that you can research the shit out of a place for days, but there’s a good chance you’ll only find the typical, “tourist things to do” in the most popular places. Well, I don’t really like ” typical tourist things to do”, and I don’t think you do either. So that’s why...
Not gunna lie, I had no idea that there was something called the Death Road in Bolivia, but after I heard more about it, I knew it was definitely something that I couldn’t miss. The main reason why I wanted to go to Bolivia was to see the Uyuni Salt Flats, but since I had an extra day in La Paz, one of the highest altitude capital cities in the world, I...

Trust me when I say…if there’s one person who can find cheap flights, it’s me. In fact, the reason why I was able to travel to so many countries was because of a little game I made up called Flight Roulette. Essentially what I do is type in “Everywhere” as my destination, and “Entire Month” as my date, then marvel at the...
