I backed my "petition" with facts, figures, pros, cons and a list of signatures from just about everybody in the office. I felt like it was a pretty solid request. In turn, I was berated by my manager (a term I use loosely) for going over her head to the CEO and an office-wide email was sent out explaining why it just wasn't going to happen. Reasons like, they'd spent a lot of money...

Last week I posted a Twitter thread on ways to save on travel and shared it on my Instagram as well. It was my most saved post to date! Of course, I'm going to give the people more of what they want, so here is a few more in-depth tips on how to travel on a budget. These tips are tried and true and sharing is caring, so let's jump right in! [spacer height="20px"] Be Flexible My number one tip for traveling on a budget is to BE FLEXIBLE!

Sure, we'd all love to be whisked away to the Maldives for a swoon-worthy, first romantic getaway. But, in reality, who's really going to drop 3k a night for someone they swiped right on just 3 weeks ago?

Santa came early, by way of GMC, and delivered me the 2020 Sierra Denali to test out for a week. Talk about oh what fun it is to ride! I had so much fun testing out this beast of a beauty and hitting the streets in the Denali to relive some of my favorite childhood memories and traditions. Here are some of my...

The one thing that has been at the top of my bucket list for years is to take a cross-country road trip across the United States. So, when I discovered RVshare, the world’s first and largest peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace, it made me want to start planning out my adventure; especially as I'm in the midst of writing down my goals for the upcoming year.

Renting an Airbnb is a great alternative to staying in a hotel. They are often times far cheaper and you get the added luxury of having a full kitchen and other amenities that give you all the comforts of home. Having lived in Atlanta for the last 11 years, I'm no stranger to enjoying a nice staycation and Airbnb is always my first go to. So, I know a thing or two about the best Airbnbs in Atlanta and I'm going to share a few of my faves and some on my wishlist. Whether you...

Whether you are the avid adventurist looking for your next destination, or the armchair traveler planning your first epic trip, getting the inside scoop on places around the world and connecting with other like-minded travelers will make your travel planning efforts a whole lot smoother.
