It's officially my first Autumn in the Northeast and I was so excited to experience this true changing of leaves accompanied by colder weather. I was staying in Boston at the time, but we decided to take a day trip to New Hampshire to the White Mountains to go on a day hike. From Boston, it was a two-hour trip. For those of you who have[...]
I traveled with a friend of mine, Alex, to Boston and one of his hobbies/passions is fine dining. Yeah, this boy has some expensive taste which is no match for someone like me that still lives like she's on a college budget. Dining experiences like this were never a desire of mine as I didn't see it as very practical. I kind of mocked th[...]

While I had planned this to be a SOLO trip, I am not going to lie and say that I wasn't afraid of going to a completely new place alone. I secretly wanted the company of a travel companion, but not so much the commitment that came with it since it's not always easy being with someone for extended periods of time. Savannah was the first s[...]
While many may encourage you to stay indoors during the pandemic, it is also important to get some fresh air. Here are fun some things to do in Atlanta outdoors: Visit Piedmont Park Piedmont Park is hands down the best park in Atlanta. It is located in midtown and is surrounded by the Atlanta skyline. There is plenty of space to wa[...]
After a 5 hour drive from Savannah, GA, I picked up my best friend, Wade, that flew in from Florida to come to see me in Atlanta. I booked this super cute Airbnb that was hostel style. I was super excited because I felt that a hostel would be a perfect way to meet new people. There were different individuals from different places. Like a[...]
