Los Angeles, you’ll forever have a hold on my heart. Visiting the west coast last week made my summer. Already I miss the sunshine, palm trees, ocean breeze, and surf culture. Getting to explore Cali with my favorite travel squad was the absolute best. We swam in Malibu, chased waves in Huntington, surfed in Laguna, hiked in Hollywood and so much more. DAY 1: The first … Continue reading California summer adventures
There is nothing more magical than spending Christmas in Walt Disney World. Over my college winter break vacation, my family spent our December holidays down south. We were a little hesitant about visiting Disney during this time because that’s when the parks are expected to be the busiest, but after experiencing it, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. The parks were so joyful … Continue reading Christmas in Walt Disney World
Deep sea fishing in Florida is now something I can officially check off my bucket list. It was so much fun taking one of our favorite Minnesota lake hobbies and trying it out on the open ocean. The fish we caught were exotic and the memories we made were priceless. I can’t wait to do it again. We went deep sea fishing at Miss Pass-a-Grille, … Continue reading New Florida favorite: Deep sea fishing on the Gulf of Mexico

So excited because it’s spring break! This break kind of snuck up on me, but in the best way possible because I am so ready for it. Time to take a deep breath, slow down from the busyness and craziness of college, and chill. I can’t believe I’ve almost finished my first year at UNW, in some ways it feels like it just started. College … Continue reading College life at the University of Northwestern – St. Paul

The sand may brush off, the salt may wash away, the tans may fade, but the memories will last forever. We travel not to escape life, but so life does not escape us. At the beach, life is different. Time doesn’t move hour to hour, but mood to moment. We live by currents, plan by the tides, and follow the sun. I long for salt … Continue reading Anna Maria Island, FL
