In 2014 I traveled solo for the first time, and decided that traveling the world was all I wanted to do. In 2015 I cut ties with anything holding me back, said f*ck it, worked my ass off, and made it to 10 countries in just one year. But counting countries was definitely not what my goal was. My goal was to really experience new things, and push myself to conquer...
Don’t ask how I figured this one out, just know I’m a super-nerd when it comes to the Internet, and clearly obsessed with traveling. 🙂

I have a secret! 😀 Well, it’s not really secret, it’s more like me being really good at tweaking the internet as much as I can to get a good travel deal. But I’ve finally decided to write out how to use my awesome trick for how I get the cheapest flights, so that you can use it to not only get cheap flights too, but get an idea of where to go! I...
Getting a good airline is a huge hit or miss, But right now it’s JetBlue that I could metaphorically kiss. My red-eye was cancelled and most people were mad, But since I didn’t want to leave Peru yet, I was far from sad. Sure, it was Christmas, in just five short days, But after how long it took me to get there, I wasn’t ready to part ways. So...
If you’re looking for an extremely last minute gift for that traveler in your life who just decided to tell you they’ll be home for the holidays instead of trekking through some foreign country, you’re in luck! Getting a last minute gift for a traveler is quite possibly the easiest thing to pull off, because unlike most people, they’ll...
One major fail I always have when booking last minute adventures, is forgetting to look up if the place I want to go to has any restrictions or requirements for entry. That being said, I found myself extremely unprepared for my little random adventure to Bolivia after hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru. I had planned on taking the overnight Bolivia Hop bus...
I’ll admit, I look like I belong at the beach in Malibu rather than in a tent on a mountain in Peru. But crushing challenges and stereotypes just so happens to be one of my favorite things to do, so guess what my brain thought when I heard about the Inca Trail hike? Oh, there’s a more difficult way to get to Machu Picchu than taking a bus and a train? Sign me up...
I’ll be honest. I never did well in history class (AKA failed) which is why I didn’t know much about the Inca Trail when I was planning my trip to Peru to finally see Machu Picchu. Initially I was going to just take the bus from Cusco to Aguas Calientes and then the train that goes up to the ticketing area of Machu Picchu, because I thought that’s just how you do it...
Machu Picchu usually tops EVERYONE’s bucketlist, but trust me when I say, the BEST way to experience it is by doing the 4 day Inca Trail Hike to Machu Picchu! Ancient ruins always frustrate me. I like to know everything, so when I see something so mind-boggling that people think aliens helped build it, my brain goes into a frenzy trying to figure out how...
Aside from “How do you make money to travel so much?”, and “If you’re traveling solo, who’s taking the picture?”, the next most common question I get asked is, “Why do you choose to travel solo?” My immediate logical response is usually something along the lines of, “Because if I want to go somewhere, I just buy a...
