This was my only really big trip planned for this

This was my only really big trip planned for this year at the time, and I was so excited to travel with my parents again which I haven’t in a long time! How do you feel traveling with family? I feel like I have to set my expectations to be a certain way and it’ll all work out!

I was LITERALLY watching this movie on my flight and I was rewarded with the most STUNNING window seat view. Honestly, thank you @delta for changing planes and my seat as I wouldn’t have gotten it without it!

I believe in this view is Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helena, Mount Adams and Mount Hood! (I might be wrong so feel free to correct me!)

Such a fun weekend celebrating all the people and things! Lake weekends at @lakesinclairlivin will be a trend throughout the summer! Places mentioned in this video:

1. @muchachoatl - chai latte always
2. @chickensaladchick - the sassy Scotty is my favorite!
3. @lakesinclair_life - wonderful lake about an hour and a half from Atlanta, love that it’s close but not too busy!

Lake life in @exploregeorgia is truly unmatched. I know all our lakes are man made but there is something about blasting music from the boat and a lake sunset that I just can’t get anywhere else ❤️ what’s your favorite lake?

I’m usually this person in the friend group 🤣 Are you?

On my trip to @purenewzealand earlier this year my sweet friends planned it and I’ve literally NEVER been more thankful! I was the driver the whole trip so not sure if it’s the same balance but I tried to make it equal!

Most of my trips are planned around nature and hikes I want to do! These are some of the most memorable hikes I’ve been on. Where should I add next?

1. Delta Lake - @grandtetonnps
2. Mary’s Rock - @shenandoahnps
3. Grinell Glacier Overlook - @glaciernps
4. Hawksbill Mountain - Linville Gorge Wilderness Area (NC)
5. Corona Arch - @discovermoab

People think you’re crazy to solo travel, travel

People think you’re crazy to solo travel, travel to certain countries, do certain activities but WHO CARES! It’s your life not theirs! I remember distinctly when people asked “why are you going ___” and my simple answer is because I want to! Book that flight, rent that campsite, explore that new activity. Life is too short to not see what you want to see! If you are not sure where to start here are my 3 tips:

1. Worried about budget? Let the cheap flights take you somewhere. Book the flight first then everything else. I use @hello_going and @thriftytraveler (code: TTT10) to get flight deals in my inbox every day to inspire new trips.

2. Keep it simple and find somewhere in the city where YOU live or near to plan a trip! Book a cool @airbnb , going visit a new restaurant or activity, keep it simple as it still counts as exploring! Go to social media and type in “unique stays in ____” or “weekend trips from ___” and you’ll be amazed at what you find!

3. If you are going somewhere solo, bring a good book or solo activity (knitting, sewing, etc.) to occupy yourself during any “downtimes” on your trip!

I usually share my weekend plans on stories, but I make these videos on the ~other~ app and thought I’d share here as well!

1. @muchachoatl for a chai latte

Looking forward to another fun weekend coming up! Happy hump day!
