4 things people say before their trip

  • September 09, 2018

When people share with me about their upcoming trip, I often hear the same things.  I also tend to respond to those things with little tidbits of advice. I try not to be obnoxious, but I am genuinely excited for people to go somewhere that I just want them to enjoy every second of it.  Over time, I’ve realized I hear the same four things over and over from people right before their trip.  Here are those four things and my little tidbit of advice.

10 ways to annoy your travel buddies

  • July 07, 2017

If you travel with other people, chances are you’ve been on both the giving and receiving end of being annoying.  When you’re in close quarters with people for days, there’s bound to be plenty of annoyances.  Here are some things that I’ve done to others or others have done to me, or a combination of things I’ve experienced traveling in a group.  We can always learn from our mistakes, but chances are, each one of us will always find a way to be obnoxious to our travel buddies (at least once during the trip).

Confesssion: my worst travel mistakes

  • March 03, 2017

One of the reasons I started this blog was to share my travel successes and failures with others.  If I learn something the hard way, I love to be able to share information that may help someone else avoid it.  That being said, it’s been hilariously fun to write out some of the worst mistakes I’ve made when it comes to travel.  Not a “how to” post or anything (unless you want to call it a “how to fail”).  Just a “let’s laugh at my expense” sort of post.  And if you’ve made some major travel blunders, don’t worry, you are not alone!

How to keep making the same travel mistakes

  • December 12, 2016

Do you want to keep making the same mistakes over and over?  Do you like to read advice, and then do the opposite?   Do you like to learn the hard way…. again and again?  If so, this article is for you.  Because apparently, I love to do that.  I’ve discovered I’m really good about writing about how to avoid mistakes.  Actually not making them, though?  Not good at that.

Seven things I hate about traveling

  • July 07, 2016

Today marks a blog milestone for me: this is my 100th post.  I’d like to say it’s hard to believe that I’ve had this much to say, but apparently it’s possible for me to blab about traveling indefinitely.  I still enjoy sharing practical tips and travel guides for places I’ve been, so I don’t plan on ceasing any time soon.  I hope you continue to find these posts helpful, and if not, I’m sure you have ceased reading!

At any rate, I thought about what to share on such a momentous occasion, and I thought I would go for a non-serious post and talk about seven things I hate about traveling.  You’d think I’d pick something more positive about traveling for an anniversary post, but hey, I’m glad I can be unpredictable. So, what don’t I love about traveling, you ask?
