As a child, my family used to travel to Utah to visit my grandma and grandpa Lashlee, where almost every visit we would end up camping for a few days. We would pitch a tent or pull a pop-up camper out into the woods, and me and my cousins would experience nature firsthand while my grandparents would stay in their RV. And believe it or not, those are some of the best memories I have with my grandparents, my parents, and my cousins. We would fish, hike, cookout, and pray it wouldn’t rain on us in the middle of the […]
Wanderlust Wednesday: “Eat Pray Love” Your Way Thru Italy, India & Bali
When I first watched Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love, I fell in love with all three locations where she ate {Italy}, prayed {India}, and found love {Bali}. Who wouldn’t want to take a year off to go on their own personal journey of self-discovery through Italy, India, and Bali! Eat: Italy During the first part of her journey, Elizabeth {played by Julia Roberts} spends her time in Italy exploring the beauty of this boot-shaped country, learning the language, and eating delicious food. “I wanna go someplace where l can marvel at something.

Wanderlust Wednesday: Oh The Places I Would Go…
“I would gladly live out of a suitcase if it meant I could see the world.” I haven’t done a “Wanderlust Wednesday” post in several months, but that doesn’t mean that I no longer have those moments that I don’t wish that I could just take a year off and travel.

I haven’t been all over the world (yet), but I always say that when I hit the lottery, I’m going to do some serious traveling! […]
Wanderlust Wednesday: Travel by Train
Most people cannot afford to travel around the world, flying from one location to another, checking your luggage, handing over your passport, and not to mention, sitting in cramped seats on airlines (hello, we can’t all afford private planes) or getting seasick on a cruise. So why not see the world from a different perspective? By TRAIN! Traveling by train can either be inexpensive or luxurious. If you’re open to not having a set itinerary, then traveling by train may be a great way to see the world, including sites in the USA, Europe, India, or China. So why not […]
Wanderlust: The Beauty of India
The beauty of India can be seen in the architecture, the traditions, the culture, and the people of India. Movies like Marigold, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Eat Pray Love, Slumdog Millionaire, and The Darjeeling Limited provide outsiders like me with a glimpse of the reality and the beauty of India. Photo Source: Bohemian Design on Tumblr India has many destinations for people who want to experience the culture and traditions of this country.
