Kay and I live two very busy entrepreneurial lives. She's a renowned speaker, philanthropist, and founder of Nap Bar (coming to an airport near you!), and I travel for a living as a travel writer and content creator. However, every now and then, me and Kay's travel worlds aligns and we get to join each other on work trips. Most recently, we traveled to the Mile High City, aka, Denver. Kay was there on business, attending a multi-day conference, and I was there for strictly pleasure and relaxation. There was no better place to do...

There’s something about those arctic temps that seep into the depths of your bones, the brisk winds that turn your tears into mini icicles, and the tingle in your toes that makes you question if your little piggies are still intact or is that just hypothermia setting in that makes you second guess any and everything about venturing into the world of outdoor winter sports. However, as a recent “summer vibes only” convert, let me tell you, outdoor winter adventures are absolutely worth it! I recently spent some time in Park City, Utah during the holiday...

Victorian homes nestled under the canopies of Spanish moss-draped oak trees, fiery sunsets on the waterfront, and picturesque cobblestoned streets in historic downtown may come to mind when thinking about Fernadina Beach and Amelia Island.

This tiny island, located just 21 miles from the Georgia's border and a 40-minute drive from...

I met her energy before she even had a chance to properly introduce herself. I stood in the small entryway of Trez Bistro & Wine Bar, shuffling myself around to let people pass by because I was clearly in everybody's way. I stood there waiting for my self-proclaimed, pseudo tour guide. The place was packed and we didn't have a reservation, despite this place being her suggestion, so she was going to have to figure that out. In she walks a few minutes later. I was expecting her to walk in and greet me with,...
