The rumors will FLY about all the different airlines (I hate me.) It seems that cheap travel is too good to be true for many who go abroad for the first time. My motto is there are three things you don’t go cheap on in life: childcare, haircuts, and airfare- unless you are in Europe.ContinueContinue reading “Choosing European Airlines”

Party Boat Review
Big fishing party boats aren’t my preferred method of fishing, but it’s something different to do and I like the company. My dad and I have done a variety of private fishing charters, sport fishing, and group deep-sea fishing boats. Private charters can be hit or miss. Sport fishing is an incredible experience but canContinueContinue reading “Party Boat Review”
Mating in Red Tide
It’s been a less than ideal summer of fishing as of June 2018 in the Venice Beach area. My dad and I drove down to Manasota Key to stay in a channel-side cottage to [hopefully] fish from dawn until dusk. FORGET. IT. Summer in Florida can be summarized by the mosquito bites on my sunburn.ContinueContinue reading “Mating in Red Tide”
Packing for India
It’s third world, it’s first world. It’s wealthy, it’s poor. They love me, they….. really do love us. In general, the people of India love Americans and are so thrilled that you have decided to travel to the other side of the world just to see their culture. There is huge honor in that andContinueContinue reading “Packing for India”

Not So Yboring
I’m a big fan of stay-cations. So underrated. Traveling is great but I get stress hives, it leaves me feeling empty at home, and my bank account has a little panic attack. We all live in a place that someone, somewhere wants to visit. Except, sometimes, ourselves. We often overlook the novelties of our ownContinueContinue reading “Not So Yboring”
Florida in the Wild
“Do you LOVE living in Florida?” WELLLL….. I love the wildlife! But really. I LOVE the wildlife in Florida. Florida living is not the vacation the rest of America would assume it is- but it can come pretty close if you get away from the people, traffic, and silver alerts. Hey, there is a reason ‘FloridaContinueContinue reading “Florida in the Wild”
Don’t Be a Broke Hoe
I’m tired of millennials always being broke. Y’all are broke for one reason: you spend money as if you can go get more from your childhood Barbie cash register plastic credit cards. You want to live a life of travel and wild adventure, but you have a chronic condition called open wallet, empty pocket syndrome.ContinueContinue reading “Don’t Be a Broke Hoe”
Indy 500: Snakepit Style
The Indianapolis 500 should be on everyone’s list of things to do before they die. For all of you Indiana outsiders rolling your eyes, the Midwest does it best. You can do the 500 as ritzy or as a podunk as you please. As stereotypically hillbilly as it can get with jorts, spending days inContinueContinue reading “Indy 500: Snakepit Style”
Skyway Fishing
Ahh… the pier for every angler: The Sunshine Skyway Fishing Pier. This place is a real gem for those who are experienced fishers of the sea, and those who don’t even have a fishing license. I visit often for long hours at a time and every day brings something new. With such a flourishing ecosystem, there’sContinueContinue reading “Skyway Fishing”
