My aunt Joan and I went to Pike's Peak in Colorado last month. It was a WONDERFUL day full of wandering around and freezing our butts off. Joan and I hopped onto the Cog Train and road to the top of the mountain. Upon our arrival, we were welcomed by clear blue skies and large [...]
I posted this gem on Instagram earlier today. http://instagram.com/p/wWwoTFKjtV/?modal=true It's another picture of me on the ground after having busted my butt in Norway. I decided to tell the stories of me falling in Norway. You know, to further embarrass myself with written and forever online proof of just HOW clumsy I actually am. Today [...]
Have you ever been to a place and just fallen in love with it? Like, wandering through the streets, looking around at the unique architecture and distant mountains? I have.

Do you have words that you live by? A quote by your favorite author or a definition that states exactly what you are? Maybe a Bible verse that comforts you and gives you strength to carry on? I have several words that I live by. I couldn't pick a single mantra if my life depended on [...]
Oslo’s sights and sounds resemble every other European city. Ancient structures with modern touches surrounded by industrial glass building. Everywhere you turn, another striking building stands in your face. Some of the buildings are low and wide sharing with you a small taste of their history with the year of its creation listed above the door [...]
My vote is nay. Let me tell you why. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. My Canadian friend and I were on a tight budget going to Norway, and we knew that Norway was one of the most expensive countries in the world. Best way to solve that? Stay for free! She and I spent days [...]
I love to travel. It is a beautiful experience to just get lost in a new city and figure it out. Some people are scumbags, and you do what you can to make the best of a bad situation. There are also some incredibly nice people on this earth. Shoutout to all of you!!! There [...]
