Blogmas Day 9 - Charlevoix

Blogmas Day 9 - Charlevoix

We’re home! What a lovely weekend it ended up being. Such a sad feeling when Monday finally rolls back around again, but at least we made some great memories to get us through another week. So, as promised, for today’s Blogmas Day 9, I thought I’d share some more snaps and thoughts about mine and Ethan’s trip up north to Charlevoix.

Pittsburgh Entered The Core Of My Heart...

Pittsburgh Entered The Core Of My Heart...

A few weeks back, as we do, Ethan and I came home from work on a Friday afternoon and got the itch to get lost. We made a goal to visit all the neighboring cities around us within about a 4-5 hour driving radius and as of now, we only have two left - Buffalo and Columbus.

"Cincinnati is a Beautiful City; Cheerful, Thriving, and Animated."

One of mine and Ethan’s favorite things in this world to do is to travel to exciting and beautiful places near and far. We have made it our unofficial mission to cross as many places off of our to-visit lists as possible before our time ends - one of the many reasons we are such a great match.

Postcards From Jacksonville

Postcards From Jacksonville

*Sigh* I owe you lovely readers an apology for being MIA for so long. It’s been a combination of many things - primarily a lack of time, motivation, and creative energy. But, with that said, I’m carving out more time in my schedule now to sit down and write for me, and for you, too! So, here’s to new beginnings and starting fresh! Thanks for your support and patience - hopefully this will be the last apology I make for a while. If I have it my way, I’m back for good, and I usually get my way. 😉

Let’s throw it back to a few weeks ago and catch up on some of the things you’ve missed, shall we?

Scotland IV Recap, Part 3 - Eastern Scotland

Scotland IV Recap, Part 3 -  Eastern Scotland

Here we are again, friends. Time for Part 3 of mine and Ethan's adventures to my favorite place on earth. And in this post, I'll go into detail about my favorite place within my favorite place, if that makes any sense. 🙃

The middle and the end of our trip were spent on the East Coast of the country. I've always been partial to the Eastern half of Scotland for so many reasons - the accents are nicer to listen to, the cities are more ideal to visit, and the weather tends to be better, just to name a few. Not to mention that Edinburgh is my heart and soul. I can't even begin to explain how much I love that city and have since the very moment my feet stepped on its soil back in 2015.

Scotland IV Recap, Part 2 - The Highlands & Islands

Hi again, friends, fancy seeing you here!

As promised, it’s time for Part 2 of my Scotland recap! It’s a good one, who’s excited?

When I left off in Part 1, Ethan and I were on our way back to Edinburgh. As I said before, I’m saving the wonders of Edinburgh and the the East for post 3 because I have a desire to save the best (and longest) for last. You can thank me later. 😘

We Were Scammed By Green Motion Car Rental

We Were Scammed By Green Motion Car Rental

Honestly, for this story, I'm not even sure where to properly begin. *deep breath*

In case you missed it, Ethan and I went to Scotland a few weeks ago. We traveled all throughout the country and saw dozens of breath-taking sites and we did it all by car.

I'm Back - No Thanks To Delta and KLM

I'm Back - No Thanks To Delta and KLM

I'm back!!

And by back I mean both in the country and back at it with blogging! Exciting, eh? Have you missed me?

Let me begin by saying I'm sorry for my lack of content over the last few weeks. I went on vacation and promised myself that I would be 100% present with Ethan and in Scotland while I was away. Then, when I returned state-side, Ethan I both caught a post-travel cold that knocked us both out for over a week. Ugh. But now that I've recovered, I can happily report that I have a whole list of exciting things coming your way, so buckle up.

What's In My Carry-On

What's In My Carry-On

Not to brag, but I've been around an airplane cabin a few times. Flying is great - it's an exciting, but taxing experience from take-off to touch-down, on both your mind and body. And after the few dozen flights I've taken in my life, I've gotten a pretty solid survival kit nailed down.

I always find little tips and tricks helpful. And one hot-topic in the travel world is carry-on essentials, so I thought I'd share mine.

Highlights of Helmsdale, Scotland

Highlights of Helmsdale, Scotland

When I was doing my Master’s in Scotland, I had the pleasure of taking on a research project for a small museum in the almost the northern-most part of the country, in a little town called Helmsdale. Ever heard of it? I didn’t think so.

"Adventure is Worthwhile in Itself"

Have you ever been to Fort Wayne, Indiana? I hadn’t until this past weekend. Ethan and I love to get out of the house and see as many places that surround us as we can. So Saturday we decided to head down to Fort Wayne and see what’s up.
