Why To Not Shy Away From Credit Cards And How To Use Them To Travel More: Part One

*This post contains some affiliate links (refer a friend links) but at no cost to you. I also want to note this post is factual but is also based on my own personal experiences. I do not advocate making financial decisions that are not right for you. I know what you’re thinking. Credit cards? Snore, bye. But before you click out of here and leave, here me out. Credit cards have so many benefits that people don’t utilize and too many people don’t know how to properly use them or understand them

A Quick Guide to Salt Lake City Street Art

When you think of Salt Lake City, what comes to mind? Likely mountains, skiing and nature. Me too! What I didn’t expect was for Salt Lake City to have such a thriving street art scene. I love street art because it’s unique, colorful, full of mystery and creativity and I feel like it really adds to a destination.\

101 Free Things to Do in Washington, DC From a Local

DC sometimes gets a bad rep for being too political, sometimes too boring and other times just too ugly. Being born and raised in DC makes me a little bit biased, but this city has so much to offer that makes it very exciting and educational, though I’ll hand it to you… it can be ugly. At times.

15 Free Things To Do In Boston

I’ve been to Boston twice now and I think it might just be one of my favorite cities in the US. Although I’m not a history person, Boston has so much American heritage and even though it’s nothing compared to its European counterpart, it’s still pretty cool. While I don’t mind paying for awesome experiences, I love experiencing a city for free (because the more you save, the more you travel!). To help you also experience Boston for free, here are the top 15 free things to do in Boston that give

20 Things To Know Before Visiting Australia

It’s no secret that I love Australia and the year I spent traveling there was one of the best I’ve ever had. Because Australia is so far away from, well, everything, there’s a lot of misinformation out there and many stereotypes surrounding the country, like videos of giant snakes coming out of your drain. Australia is a beautiful country and one that has grown very near to my heart.

How To Spend 48 Hours In Budapest

I had such a wonderful time in Budapest this past weekend so I’m really excited to share with you the best things to do if you only have 48 hours. As you know, I’m a big fan of day trips or weekend trips. Whether it’s how to spend an afternoon in London, just a short weekend in Marseille, a day in Dublin and or even spending a long weekend in Dubai, I think short trips and lots of them are a great way to see the world and add a bit of adventure into your life but without quitting your job.

Top Ways To Prevent And Combat Jet Lag

Things have been pretty hectic for me lately, which is why I’ve been so bad about blogging and for that I apologize! We’ve had some great trips this month and even more in the next two coming up, but after all Australia and the US and back to Germany, then to London and back to the US in the past couple of weeks I’ve felt myself just getting exhausted from all the travel, planes and time changes. Jet lag is no foreign concept to me, but since I travel quite so frequently I’ve learned to combat j

Life As An Expat: The Ups And Downs Of Living Abroad

I know I’ve been terrible about blogging this month and for that I am sincerely apologetic and I thank all of my readers who stick with me through thick and thin! As you know, I’m living in Berlin now and when my internship ended in the summer I was trying to find full-time work but that didn’t go so well for me since I don’t speak much German. As a result, I’ve been doing a lot of freelancing and it takes up so much of my time, it’s definitely an adjustment to balance blogging with that. On top

7 Packing Tips For Easy Organization And Efficiency

I wrote before about packing tips for traveling with only a carry on and it did so well I decided to write a second packing tips post on how to be organized and use your suitcase’s space efficiently for easy transportation and for ease of use once you get to the other end. When it comes to packing, unfortunately, just throwing everything in there haphazardly is not really a good way to utilize your space and fit in as much as possible. It’s also really easy to lose stuff in the bottom and not know where everything is. It is like a giant purse after all.

5 Tips For First Time Travelers

Traveling can be daunting especially if it’s your first long or long-distance trip and I know what it’s like to sit there with your suitcase open and all of your stuff around you thinking what the heck do I put in here, and then leaving the house just praying to God you haven’t left something behind. My extended family and I are meeting up in Ireland in a couple of months for my mom’s birthday and I know for a lot of them it’s their first time traveling or traveling abroad, so hopefully this pos

How To Wear Your Travels: Olive Yew Jewelry

It’s no secret that I miss Australia like crazy and I usually look back at my photos pretty frequently, wishing I could go back. I won’t lie, I compare my apartment here in Berlin to my apartment in Australia, as well as the places I eat out and the places I shop. It’s not a good habit, but Australia has stayed with me and will always have a special place in my heart– which is why I was so incredibly excited to team up with Olive Yew and their new, amazing, map necklaces.

5 Ways To Personalize Your Short-Term Living Space

Whether it’s a dorm room, somewhere you’re only living temporarily, or even a long-term rental that’s fully furnished, it can be easy to feel like you’re just living in someone else’s space. That’s not a fun feeling though, and since I’m currently living a short-term rental that was fully furnished I have felt the same way. When I moved in it just just felt really surreal and weird because I was sitting on someone else’s sofa and using their dishes and sleeping in their bed. It didn’t feel like

6 Ways To Pamper Yourself For Free

Sometimes weeks are just rough and you need to take some time to yourself. I feel like this week I have 8 million different things going on between crisscrossing the city doing interviews for work, my blogging, my freelance writing and having friends in town, plus it all needs to get done before we leave for Dubai on Friday night.

Why Terrorism Won't Stop Me From Traveling

I know I’ve been kind of quiet on the blog the past couple of weeks and things have been relatively hectic and I’ll definitely get into that in another post. This blog has never been a place where I wanted to share posts about serious or political issues, however, in light of what happened in Brussels on Tuesday and what has been happening in our world in general I feel like this is something I can no longer ignore. This is our reality and we should talk about it.
