I am good at traveling. I have now been to 38 countries and countless airports. I’m good with google. I know how to navigate new places. None of that is true since Covid. There are no search engines to tell you what to expect because no one has really traveled yet and things change everyContinue reading “Traveling After Covid”

So, I’m not gonna lie. I did not wake up in the best of moods. Our hotel is loud, and I woke up with a terrible headache, likely from altitude sickness. Breakfast was coffee, hard bread, and dry cheese. Not my favorite. We met up with our group and did a walking tour of Cusco.Continue reading “A Birthday to Rememeber”

I just visited my 4th of the 7 wonders of the modern world, for my 37th birthday on 7/7! It was just as amazing as you would think. One of those things that you cannot believe exists. It took quite a journey to get there! We flew to Cusco from Lima at 3am, then tookContinue reading “Machu Picchu”

We stopped by a local market and dined at Rustica. The drinks were good, the food? Well, I speak Spanish pretty fluently butContinue reading “Night Markets and Flytography”

We woke up today in our Ibis Larco Miraflores hotel in Lima. It’s a beautiful, seaside town. It has the business of a major city, yet the sleep, slow paced, doesn’t-open-till-10am vibe I’ve gotten use to in many countries. People are kind. It feels safe. I love trying new things, but sometimes, I love havingContinue reading “The Comforts of Home”

I have to admit- the airport part of this trip has had me nervous. I typically google several helpful tips to get the best out of my travels. However, with virtually no travel over several months, the tips online were scarce and outdated. So- I pave the trail. I have done it before, but thisContinue reading “Travel Day 1- Getting There”

I have been traveling the world for years. I have seen every state in the United States and have enjoyed visiting over 35 countries in the past couple of decades. During these amazing adventures, I have learned a thing or two, and I am happy to share them with you. #1 Fly From the BigContinue reading “Travel Hacks Everyone Should Know”

Rule #1- Be you. Be comfortable. If there is something you need or use on a daily basis, find a way to bring it with you.
