what makes me passionate about blogging
i started blogging this year. i have always loved travel and since nick and i started dating we have been having adventures together. i have found so much inspiration from travel blogs that i wanted to be able to do that for other people. i want to see the whole wide world and inspire others to do the same.
i also love planning travel. i am definitely the planner in our relationship. i want to be able to share my carefully planned itineraries to make it as easy for others to travel as possible. by sharing these i can share how our adventures actually went and my advice for future travelers so they can have the best trip possible!
questions
1. what’s the worst travel advice you’ve been given?
really any advice advising against going out and exploring and seeing the local culture. people can be afraid of what they don’t know and it can limit the experiences and adventures they can have.
2. if you could only travel to one country for the rest of your life, which country would it be?
this is a tough question. i haven’t been to as many countries as i want. i would say either the united states where i live now or new zealand. i haven’t been to new zealand yet, but it’s high on my list!
3. were you ever disappointed in a certain destination? where was it and why were you disappointed?
i was disappointed in the vatican. the architecture and art was absolutely amazing, but i was disappointed by the crowds. i felt that people were rude and we were all jammed into much too small of a space to really be able to enjoy the history of the area.
4. what’s the weirdest item you have to have while travelling?
i don’t think i travel with anything weird, but maybe that’s just because i’m used to it! nick has started travelling with a pillow to ease some tailbone pain. for me it’s snacks and a drink so i don’t get hangry!
5. city trip or road trip?
road trip, hands down, no debate!
6. what’s the most adventurous thing you’ve done while travelling?
7. where’s the least touristy destination you’ve visited and was it worth visiting?
i have visited countless small towns in the mid-west while living here over the last seven years. what i’ve found is even in these small towns there are adventures to be had. local bars and restaurants as well as local festivals. ackley iowa and the sauerkraut days come to mind as someplace no tourist would ever visit, but i’ve had a great weekend there.
8. where have you had your best meal?
i love food and truly believe the local culture can be tasted as well as seen! with that said, it is hard to narrow down. it’s not really a meal, but the huckleberry ice cream i had in olympic national park in washington state is definitely near the top of the list.
9. what do you like to do besides travelling?
i love to play volleyball and read!
10. what’s your take on social media?
i think social media can be used for good or evil. i’m trying to get more familiar with all the different platforms as i work to grow this blog, but i am still a novice.
11. what do you want to accomplish during 2019?
i want to keep writing and sharing our adventures. and having adventures! i turn 30 and nick turns 35, so it will be a big a year for us. i am also making a pre 40 buckets list with all the adventures we want to have!
