Visiting Bermuda – My Travel Guide
Ever thought about visiting Bermuda? Does hearing terrifying stories of the Bermuda Triangle frighten you? It shouldn’t because Bermuda is a tropical paradise in the Atlantic Ocean. The Island of Bermuda seems like some far away island in the middle of the ocean when in reality it is only about 600 miles off the Eastern Coast of the United States. Bermuda is a quick 3 hour flight from Charlotte Douglas International Airport in Charlotte, North Carolina and is actually closer to the country of Canada then it is to the Caribbean. If viewing the island using satellite imagery, it is shaped like a giant fish hook. Bermuda is a British…

Kansas The Sunflower State
Kansas the Sunflower State or the state that everyone wants to drive by as quickly as possible when cruising along I-70. Kansas gets a bad reputation since most people think of Kansas as being flat, boring, agricultural, and having no nature or attractions. I to had the same misconception regarding Kansas until I actually moved and lived there for nearly eight years. That’s right, I moved to the Kansas City area for work right after college and have a lot of wonderful memories of this state. If looking at a map of the United States, Kansas is pretty easy to identify as it is nearly in the center of the…

Travel to Montreal, Canada
Montreal, Canada – More European then American, and I loved it! I took a solo trip here for four days, and explored the city from morning until late at night. I did not have a plan prior to visiting, I knew I just wanted to explore as much as I could within the city and see it at my own pace. I knew about Poutine and Schwartz’s Deli based on travel shows and that French was widely spoken, and that was the extent of my knowledge on Montreal. See, this is why I love traveling, I mean a city foreign to me a few years ago and now I can…

Exploring the San Antonio Mission Trail by Bike
Embarking on a cycling adventure along the San Antonio Mission Trail is a must do when visiting the beautiful city of San Antonio. This historic trail is a 13.9 mile loop that connects four of San Antonio’s iconic Spanish colonial missions – Concepcion, San Jose, San Juan, and Espada. Although, visitors can drive to each mission, cycling or walking the Mission Trail is the best way to experience these rich cultural heritage sites. Join me on my adventure as I cycle the San Antonio Mission Trail and explain the significance of these historical and cultural sites along the trail. **This post contains affiliate links.
