• The Rome Trip: Day 3

    This is the third and final blog post covering “The Rome Trip”. It may seem like we have already covered all of the must see sights of Rome so far, but we still had a list of places to visit. So, one more day of walking through the streets of Rome was in order for us! The Rome Trip: Day 3 Touring the Colosseum It was an early morning on day three of our trip in Rome because we wanted to take a tour of the Colosseum! Of all of the days, this one was the coldest but still warmer than what I am used to. Luckily, it was a…

  • The Rome Trip: Day 2

    Day 2 of our trip to Rome, Italy, was probably the busiest and the fullest. We saw some of the go-to places you think of when you think of Rome and we did even more walking than the day before. But to balance that out we also ate more. Life is all about balance! 🙂 The Rome Trip: Day 2 Roaming Rome On our way to see the Pantheon, we passed by some really cool stuff. We would go back later in the day to actually see all of the things we passed by, but I just had to get a photo with this Julius Caesar statue! I’m not going…

  • The Rome Trip: Day 1

    A lot of people start out a new year with a list of things they would like to accomplish with the new slate they have just been given. New year, new me is what we commonly hear, right? On that list may be to learn a new language, lose some weight, eat healthier, or even to travel more. Well, I certainly took the traveling more part of a potential New Year’s resolution seriously! On January 2, 2020, I left for for Rome, Italy! Don’t worry, this trip was not taken on a whim. My brother Jacob and I have been planning this trip to Rome for a while now, but…

  • Long Flight Essentials

    A new year, a new adventure! The day that this blog post is published, I will be busy roaming the streets of Rome, Italy! Since my first trip abroad in late 2018, I have learned just what someone might need to be comfortable on a long flight. For that reason, I thought today would be a good opportunity to share some of the items people I know have told me they use for long flights and the items I use! Carry on Bags This may seem obvious, but back when I took my first ever long flight (to lovely London, England in 2018) I did not know that an carry…

  • The Lug Bag

    The summer travel season will be here before we know it, and spring break vacations have already began in many places. Thinking about traveling anywhere, even if it is just a day trip, always makes me wonder what kind of bag I should bring along with me. It constantly feels like while on a trip/vacation that there is way more that you need or want to carry in a bag. The more I need to carry, the more pockets I need on my bag. Well, in pursuit of the perfect bag for trips and a vacation (and just in time for all of the fun to begin) I have found…
