Small towns are some of my favorite places to visit! Some, like Grafton, used to be a bit bigger than they are today, while others have always been picturesque little towns. Because I love day-trips, small towns make for perfect destinations, and while I absolutely want to share these places, they don't always need a… Continue reading A Short Guide to Grafton, WV
Morgantown is one of the largest cities in West Virginia, but it's one that I didn't think much about until moving to this part of the state. Even for the first year that I was here, I still avoided Morgantown because I was so afraid of driving in it! In the last couple of years,… Continue reading A Weekend in Morgantown, WV
I visited Pittsburgh a few times as a child, usually for field trips to the Carnegie Museums, and I remember thinking that it was a magnificent city. Admittedly, I was not really familiar with it at all, but the magic of going through the Fort Pitt Tunnel and having the city materialize always felt a… Continue reading How to Spend a Weekend in Pittsburgh, PA
I'm the kind of person who likes to live vicariously through other people's adventures while also planning my own. (If you read this blog regularly, you probably know what I mean!) Not long ago, my aunt Kristi posted this video on her YouTube channel about a hike she did just outside of Wytheville, Virginia. On… Continue reading One Day around Wytheville, VA
West Virginia may not be the biggest state in the country, but it does have a lot of small towns that I've never visited before despite living here most of my life. Weston was one of those. I'd driven past the exit a hundred times on the interstate but had never had a reason to… Continue reading One Day in Weston, WV

The itineraries varied; my first idea was a two-week exploration of the entire state, which was kind of a lot. Ultimately, I spent four days in Colorado - three with my family and one bonus day on… Continue reading Colorado Road Trip: Denver, Pikes Peak, and Sand Dunes NP
When I started my college education in summer 2017 and moved to Tucson, I knew very little about this amazing city. I had been here twice - once for a campus tour and once for registration. On both of those trips, I only visited the university campus and had no idea what else was around… Continue reading How to Spend a Weekend in Tucson, Arizona
Paris, Paris, Paris,De mes amours c'est lui le favori Josephine Baker really put into words the enchantment of Paris. The above lyrics are from "Paris, Paris, Paris," which is a song that says "Paris" so many times that it stops sounding like a word. However, it is also one of the songs that was playing… Continue reading Traveling Alone: Paris, France
I've had an amazing couple of days in Santiago! It's such a big and vibrant city, and I would love to see more of it in the future. However, with only two days I had to make the most of my time and see everything I could. Day 1 was mainly spent seeing the sights… Continue reading Two Days in Santiago
Of all the places I wanted to visit in France, Avignon was near the top of the list. This little Provençal town (also mentioned in my post about day trips in Provence) is, of course, beautiful to walk though, but it's also home to the Palais des Papes (Papal Palace) and the famous Pont d'Avignon… Continue reading One Day in Avignon, France
