Reading My First-Ever Travel Blog from 10 Years Ago!
Today’s content is provided by 2009 Casey. I was in Michigan last week visiting my family and as I was cleaning out some old bins from high school and college I came across a PRINTED copy of my first ever blog. It was called “Across the Pond” and was basically a diary of my semester studying […]

PHOTOS: Black Hills, Mount Rushmore & Custer State Park
The Black Hills was one of my favorite places we explored on a long road trip out west this past July. There is so much to see, all packed within a reasonable driving distance. As I learned more about how the area was shaped, I had a much deeper appreciation for each breathtaking view. You […]

My opportunity arose when I was asked to be a bridesmaid in a Florida beach wedding. My fellow bridesmaid and travel bestie Lindsay and I decided to extend […]

11-day Vanlife Experiment
If you’re into following travel accounts on social media (you’re following this blog, so I’m assuming you are somewhat familiar) you may have noticed the trend of people living in vans.
