Happy....following Tuesday! Skipped a week on posting and I have no excuse, just got lazy and hermit like and didn't really feel like writing. This week I am reflecting on our week of exploring around the San Luis Obispo area. As you will see from the photos below, the beaches were the highlight of the... Continue Reading →
New Zealand: West Coast Region
I've returned to Arizona! Now that I have access to my photos again I can now get back to covering our New Zealand adventure. Before I jump in, last week I hinted at some exciting news. The original news has been postponed for now, so you'll all have to wait in suspense, but I do... Continue Reading →
Guide to Solo Backpacking
Welcome to this week’s post! This week I’ll be discussing backpacking on your own. Obviously my experience has been from the perspective of a female, but a lot of the advice I’ll be sharing is applicable to solo backpacking in general.

Part 3...I still find it a tad absurd that this adventure has turned out to be as long as the California trip in writing. Though I may have had more words for that adventure, it's still ridiculous that there's a part for each DAY of this trip. Enough baffled thoughts on my part, back to... Continue Reading →

Maui, HI: Haleakalā backpacking trip to Palikū Cabin
When I first began writing blog posts a few months ago I decided that between every few New Zealand posts I'd write about some other adventure I'd done somewhere else. I figure no one could ever truly get bored of New Zealand adventures but at least it changes the readers perspective for a little while.... Continue Reading →
