Bored on a snow day?

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).

Here’s some stuck in the house tips for the too-active-to sit-still people like me: I start the day by grabbing the camera and going on a little walk. Of course I needed about eight layers so that my

A Little Bit of Culture in Your Life

I have to share about one of my courses I am taking this semester, because I had the neatest experience in it today! It is an intercultural communications course, which I took as an elective because I thought it would help me to better understand some circumstances I am going to run into while traveling the world. Ask your self the question who am I? No like seriously ask yourself that question. We are working on cultural identity projects in my class and were told to start by asking ourselves that “simple”, yet loaded question. So I sit there and

Have you laughed today?

“A day without laughter is a day wasted” – Charlie Chaplin It’s easy for most people to get stressed during this time of year. The holidays recently came to an end, so people are still recovering financially, new years resolutions are already floundering, and for the northerners, you’re battling blizzards or “nor’easters”.

Kentucky skies, never disappoint.  So yeah, I want to move around and travel the world, but I do have to admit that Kentucky has some pretty gorgeous getaways. From horse farms to mountaintops, let me take you through a quick journey of my hometown. 1.

5 Tips for a Long Distance Relationship

“I don’t want to be tied down to someone, I want to be set free with them.” I get a lot of reaction when I tell people that I am dating someone that is 900 miles away.

Mostly a lot of “you’re insane,” “how did that even happen,” and “how do you make it work?” I’m not gonna lie and tell you it’s an easy adventure together, it’s quite possibly the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I mean we are

Need some inspiration to start out your week?

“The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.” – Elbert Hubbard I was talking to my father and uncle on the night of my birthday and we were discussing this years goals I have set for myself and what I want to accomplish at my age.

I decided to keep all my goals recorded and do my best to accomplish all of them.
