Just a Girl and Her Travel Blog
Back to typing up old diary entries from previous travels! Current 2017 thoughts on my super sassy, over exaggerated self from 2012 will be in bold and purple. July 3, 2012 I have gotten into a bad habit of getting distracted and leaving my journals unfinished. Also, I have finally gotten tape to put everything [...]
I was looking through pictures from my trip to Egypt the other day, and I was reminded of the shear beauty of the River Nile from the sky. The $140 I forked out for a 4.00am wake up and hot air balloon ride was more than worth it! I saw the sun rise directly over [...]
Last month, my dad and I took a day trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Looking back on it, we should not have decided to go on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, but hindsight is always 20/20. We live about 2.5 hours south of Chattanooga, so we set out around 11.00am thinking that we would be [...]

So is it worth it to buy park hoppers? It depends on how long you will be visiting the parks. Disney World: **Prices listed are [...]
When you think of Egypt, you think of Pyramids; however, the most striking ancient structures in Egypt are the temples. Our two-week tour of Egypt took us as far south as Abu Simbel, which sits eleven miles from the Sudan border, west to the Fayum Oasis and north to Memphis. It was a wonderful trip [...]
Looking for a job that will allow you to travel the world? Me too! Luckily, I know of some great ways that will allow me to either put off the real world, travel as a career, or travel in my spare time. The first three items on the list are ways to put off the "real [...]
As you travel around the world, you meet all kinds of people. Some of these people are scum bags, others are God sent. A bunch of these people will become your friends, but only a few will become your forever friends. Some will be friends to your face while talking about you behind your back. [...]
