Travel

I wanted to discuss the anxiety I had while in Dubai & then the world changed overnight.  I almost forgot there was life before April 2020.

I have the perfect snacks that are tiny, healthy, affordable & so easy to stock up on while we’re stuck on the quarantine rollercoaster.

I was planning to share this book as a travel essential for anyone with anxiety but little did I know there would be a better time and place for this book to become useful – a home quarantine situation.

Wouldn’t this be awkward if I came back without addressing the pandemic of the world.  I didn’t know when to start writing again, but it felt right.

Of all the exciting things I learned & experienced on my recent trip – this travel essential is surprisingly the thing I’m most excited share.  Get ready…

Here I am!  I couldn’t get started on a topic without first having a little moment of life chats.

Everyone travels in the summer, except me!  Where is the quick trip that I’ve been waiting for?  Against all odds, I pulled off the perfect staycation in 3 easy steps.

There are some things you have to do when you come to Austin or people won’t believe you actually visited.  Think: BBQ, South Congress & 6th Street.  There’s absolutely no lack of entertainment, food, and adventure in Austin, Texas – it’s just a matter of whether or not you can get it all done. My thoughts are with you as you try to achieve that goal.If you knock everything off this list, you will have fulfilled your Austin experience & left nothing behind!

There are a ton of lists out there with things to do in Austin, Texas.  Austin is a hot place to visit, it provides perfect spring break weather, there’s always a festival happening, and tons of live music.

This was my first time in Breckenridge & my first time skiing on a mountain.  Although I’m from Minnesota & pretty used to the snow – huge mountain tops & death-defying chairlifts were never a common occurrence.

Listen to me, you’re going to get used to seeing Minnesota more often because I’m planning on visiting… a lot.  Not only is it where I grew up, my family is there, it’s beautiful, has all the seasons, BUT the airline expense has significantly dropped, and I’m talking non-stop flights.  IF that doesn’t get you excited, you clearly have some exciting things going on & I can’t hate you for that.

Living in Austin, it’s really hard to ignore the Austin City Limits Music Festival.  The city is consumed with people, music & one big party.  Admittedly I’m not a big music festival person – traveling to different cities to knock out big festivals.  I’m too tired.  But I join in Austin’s because I can participate at my own pace & go to my own home afterwards.  And I can’t say I don’t like dressing in the festival gear, minus glitter because that’ll follow you around all year.
