Do We Really Have Control?

I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “everything happens for a reason”. I have never put much thought into that quote until I realized that some things that happen are really out of our control. Negative things may even happen for a greater reason than can be foreseen at the present moment. As most of you know Megan’s lung collapsed two days before we were supposed to fly to Mexico. To say we were bummed about not going to Mexico would be an understatement. We both still had a week off from work so I flew to Kentucky to be with

Why Trip Number One Isn’t in the Stars for Us

Sometimes life just happens. And sometimes it happens in a really big scary, why the hell is this happening to me kinda way. So I’m sitting at work planning which dresses to bring to Mexico. And which hiking shoes. And why I don’t have the perfect black bathing suit top yet. Or my perfect big sun hat. When I’m leaving in TWO DAYS! And suddenly it hit me. This ragingly horrible shooting pain from my left shoulder blade and down my left arm. And a stabbing pain in my chest every time I took a gasp for air. Something. Was

Travel Necessity Alert: Travello the App!

In my eyes connectivity is one of the most important concepts in this whole big world of ours. Connecting while traveling is not only important but also exciting! I love making new friends and making new friends over the world is just an eye opening experience. It’s so much fun to hear stories and learn all different perspectives around the world. So how can we, as travelers, safely connect together? Find others in our area that have our same interests or even better… will open us up to new interests. Where can we all collaborate together and help guide each

Because Who Wouldn’t Want to Buy Their Own Island?

So I’m spending my typical Saturday watching House Hunters Caribbean (because it reminds me of warmer days and sunshine, oh and perfect houses) and they are selling islands here. Like legitimate islands. Whoa. I want one, sign me up. So I’m thinking wait, is there really a market for buying islands. Turns out there is… I found whole websites on Island Buying and some are priced around the rate of homes. I guess I could buy an island instead of a house and live in a tent? Yeah. We could make that work, right Andrew? So without further ado here

Fighting Airplane Anxiety: Tips for the Trip!

Having anxiety is bad enough, having anxiety thousands of feet in the air is worse. I know that many people suffer from anxiety of flying on an airplane, for some it is the feeling of having no self control and for others they still do not have trust in this modern flying mechanism. I myself unfortunately suffer from this. Which is crazy considering my main goal in life is to go everywhere! IMy first flight I made the mistake of thinking I could just sleep it out… yeah, try and shut my mind up. I did not want to get

Ever Heard of “Gap Year”? Probably Not in America

 I can’t wait until Megan and I really start to venture out into the world and are able to learn about multiple cultures and their traditions. We’re both learning so much from talking to travelers online through their blog posts and Travello app posts. Of course we’ll never be able to understand everything until we get out and experience the world of travel ourselves, but it amazes me every time that I speak to someone from another country and they compare Americans way of life to theirs, especially recently when a friend was telling me about the Europeans educational traditions. In American

To move forward…

“To get something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.” I think this is the hardest concept for people to grasp when wanting to make a change. Try something new everyday, the scarier the better. If it’s hard do it anyway, if you hate it… don’t do it again. It’s all very simple. Live freely and don’t be afraid to move forward. Whether it’s as small as talking to someone you’ve had a crush on forever (been there done that) to deciding to move away from home (done that too) or quitting your job for your

Ugh. I’m like way to active for snow days! I’m sitting here, snowed in; most people would be like celebrating a lazy Monday. Personally I feel trapped (now we know why I want to travel). My boyfriend just left yesterday and my roommate is not home, lonely snow day. Anyways I guess I will make the most out of this snow day.

Of course I needed about eight layers so that my
