Just a Girl and Her Travel Blog
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, my friends and I are going to New England! We are most excited about the trip. True, we will miss the peak of the leaves changing, but that's not a big deal. It also gives us an excuse to go back again someday. 🙂 So what are we going to do? Below you'll find [...]
Last weekend, I spent a little under 48 hours in Ohio with my sister, Payton. She had been at Oberlin College all summer working as an intern, and since she was so kind to visit me while I was in Ireland, I visited her in Ohio! I arrived around 12.30am in the wee hours of [...]

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. [...]
June 20, 2012 5:00 pm Stirling, Scotland I think everyone in my flat has gone to sleep. It's rather comical that we all were able to go about three days without completely passing out. I slept from about 1:30 pm - 4. Great nap. The past three days have actually been [...]
