Just a couple of broads traveling around the world!
2021 brought a new year and new (albeit modified) travel plans! Our first trip was to celebrate my 30th birthday in early January, and given the Covid vaccine was not readily available to most people our age at that point, we wanted to make sure we were super cautious. Ultimately, I decided on a local trip to Fredericksburg, TX, which …
Candace and I met in late 2016 at a personal development course – back when we were both still living in Houston, Texas. We became closer friends as we did several other programs together, and one of these brought us to Chicago, Illinois in mid-2017. We decided to take advantage of the situation, since neither of us had been before, …
In early 2018, my friend, Courtney, and I decided to run a half marathon and chose the Fueled by Fine Wine race in Dundee Hills, Oregon. The race took us through some of Oregon’s most beautiful vineyards and wineries and offered incredible views, as we climbed more than 2,000 feet in elevation.

Yes, you read that correctly, and yes, they do! Little did we know that the Gulf Coast has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world, and Gulf …
Come July, I decided it was time for a vacation before I got super busy at work in the fall, and given we are living in a COVID-19 world, I came to the conclusion that this meant I was going to have a vacation with me, myself, and my dog, Misha. I knew by this time that I would most …
2020 slowed down travel for many, if not most of us, so when my parents decided that they were going to drive from Houston, Texas to Sun Valley, Idaho for the month of June to avoid the Texas heat, I was overjoyed – not just because they were close enough for me to go visit them from Seattle, but also …
Looking for what you should do during one day in Nairobi? Then you’re in the right place! Nairobi is a great starting point for any African safari trip around Kenya. Approximately 10% of Kenya’s population, or about 4.4 million people, live in Nairobi. It’s East Africa’s most cosmopolitan city and Africa’s fourth largest city (yes, that is a lot of …
