This clearly has nothing to do with travel other than the fact that I’m currently in the United States doing all things fall related. That includes making and eating everything pumpkin spice flavored, as one does in every American fall meme. While I won’t go as far as to jump on the Starbucks kool-aid bandwagon and drink pumpkin spice lattes every day, I...
Travel safety is one of the top concerns people ask me about. So I’m happy to report about a new travel safety app that will ease all your minds! And your parents’ too! Recently I tested out the membership-based travel safety app called CloseCircle, and I have to say, I give it a top rating! While I’m usually skeptical about the functionality and accuracy of travel...
by Staff Writer, Kyla Steeves Whenever you’re traveling abroad, it can be challenging to put the camera down. Everywhere you turn, there’s picturesque landscapes, candy-colored buildings and of course, iconic landmarks. But you might find that you’re only experiencing the destination behind, or in front, of the lens — especially if taking travel photos is a priority...
I’m not even going to sugar coat this in any way; three days ago I had an accident abroad when I was in a horrific accident in Cambodia when my bus did a 360 sideways roll off the road and down a small hill. No one died thank God, but there were definitely injuries, including two that required surgeries, one emergency stitches (that I watched and coached her...
I’ve always wanted to make a travel photo book, but never knew how or if I’d have the time. But, with over 2,000 travel photos on my Instagram, I start to forget about all the epic things I’ve done! Between the time it takes to load, the size of the screen, and the average attention span of 0.5 seconds, it’s no wonder that some of our best...
A lot of people ask me what my job is or how I have money to travel so much, and when I tell them, they then wonder how bloggers/influencers make money. Some think we don’t and just have rich parents/partners, and then some automatically assume that we’re “lucky”, and magically acquired hundreds of thousands of followers overnight and then POOF, started getting...
Before traveling to another country, I always make it a point to learn some of the basic words and phrases in the native language there. Not only does that help me out as a traveler, but it shows respect to the locals, which can help you out immensely as well! During a recent trip and project I was doing though, I wanted to learn more than just basic phrases. The...
As you may have noticed, I’ve been promoting a company called TripValet a lot recently, and you may be wondering what it is! In a nutshell, it’s a membership-only travel deal finder website that has better discounts than most other deal-finder platforms! The savings are real, and I often post them on my Instagram Stories to show you the comparison to other sites! I...
Recently I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in Tanzania for International Women’s Day with Whoa Travel, and I have to say it was one of the most epic moments of my life! I’m by no means a professional hiker, but I honestly can say I didn’t find many difficulties with the climb up Kilimanjaro, and was actually the first one to reach the summit! The tips I...
When the opportunity first arose for me to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro, my immediate response was “Hell yeah, that’s badass!”, and my secondary one was, “Wait, can I really hike one of the World’s highest mountains for 8 days?”. So many questions bubbled inside my adventure-lusting mind, especially since the trip was only a few weeks...
