Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
As of today I have officially been blogging for a year! I know that still makes me a newcomer in the blogging world, but we’ve all heard the statistic that most bloggers quit blogging after about 3 month, so I think that gives me the all clear to pat myself on the back a little. …
I thought I knew Mexican cuisine before my recent trip to Cancun. I grew up on Mexican food. Where I lived in Franklin, TN, La Hacienda was the only restaurant open past 8pm and therefore became a staple. I’m fairly certain my first cocktail was a margarita at that very restaurant. Comedian Jim Gaffigan has…
I just returned from Tbex Cancun yesterday and I figured I should write this while I’m still on a little bit of a travel high. If you read my previous post you know that I was a little nervous going into something like this alone. My blog is approaching it’s first year, but that’s still…
I’ve spent the last few days feverishly preparing for the Tbex conference I bought tickets to on a whim back in May. I’m a hopeless procrastinator, I know. But in May they offered early bird tickets for $97 so I figured I would go ahead and get them and then even if I chickened out…
Ok, so everyone knows about drinking around the world at Epcot, (of course I have plenty to say about that too) but it seems few people have caught on to the Loop. The Loop is another way to drink at Disney, it’s a collection of hotels you can stop at on the monorail at Walt…
Everyone knows a Disney World Vacation is going to set you back financially, but it’s the most magical place on earth. Who can put a price tag on that? Well Disney can, and it’s a lot. Here are a few magical things you can do at Disney World for free (or almost free). It’s great…
I appreciate any society that values the arts and art in Oslo is alive and well. I’ve mentioned a little about growing up in Franklin, TN on here before. I grew up in a very artistic household in what I would consider a relatively oppressive society by western standards, though everyone there would strongly disagree…
Okay, so I know it’s not technically travel since I live here (and hopefully no one is traveling to Orlando for Margaritafest), but this is the post I wish someone had written about Margaritafest 4 (or 3,2,1) before I spent $35+ tax on my “VIP” experience. I’ll start by saying that the margarita is…
I was recently notified by the lovely Marti Ingram at Down The Wrabbit Hole that I was nominated for their Destination Memory Lane Blogging Challenge. The concept is pretty cool. Travel bloggers write about amazing, frustrating, funny, sad, helpful, kooky experiences all the time. Destination Memory Lane gives us a chance to narrow it…
Two and a half days anywhere is hardly enough to experience a city, but unfortunately due to my American amount of allowable time off work its all I had. It probably a good thing though, any longer and I would have to sell a kidney to pay for my food there. I do feel like…
