Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
I came across this gem on Someecards.com a while back and it really hit home. I’ve had a particularly emotionally taxing couple of weeks. As usual, when the going gets tough I want to run away. Can you actually run away from your problems? It’s an argument I feel like I’m perpetually in with someone. …
The statistic that’s been thrown around for ages is that only 10% of Americans actually have a valid passport, because the other 90% are narrow-minded ignorant slobs that don’t know or care a thing about what goes on outside the States. The more accurate statistic now seems to be around 1/3rd of Americans with a…
Unfortunately, being tied town with several jobs means that most of the time I can’t go too far from home (at least for now). The bright side of this is that I live in Florida and there are plenty of weird and wonderful locations only a day trip away. Weeki Wachee Springs State Park is…
Cruises out of Florida are incredibly convenient if you live here. Really, it’s the cheapest way to travel. Where else do you get transportation, lodging, and food (lots and lots of food!) for around $100 a night (sometimes less)? So naturally, those of us that live near a port cruise as often as possible and…
In just over a week I’ll be leaving on my annual Disney Cruise! I’m very much looking forward to it and thought this would be a great time to revisit last year’s cruise with some tips and tricks to help make the most of your time at sea. One of the big perks of being…

Ok, so this one technically isn’t travel, but it did take me from college in Charleston, SC to my current life in Orlando, FL. It also introduced me to people from all over the world and indirectly afforded me many travel opportunities, so I’m counting it. My cousin just started the Walt Disney World College…
If you follow me on twitter, you were privy to this break down in real-time, but for those of you who do not, here’s a totally unbiased personal narrative featuring the fine folks at US Airways. MCO to BNA via CLT I arrived at the airport on Christmas day, an hour before my flight as…
I’ve just recently decided to go visit my family in Nashville, TN for Christmas. Unfortunately, I looked at travelocity before I looked at weather.com. Had I done the opposite, I would have seen this before I booked my flight. I’ll admit, it’s not as bad as it’s been before. In fact, from my experience…
It’s that time of year again! Everyone loves the holidays, and if you live near Disney World the holidays last from the day after Halloween through the first week or so of the new year! This is the 6th holiday season I’ve spent in Disney World, but this year is different. This year in Epcot’s…
