  • San Jose, Costa Rica: Historical and Culture Walking Tour with Jules

    San Jose, Costa Rica: Historical and Culture Walking Tour with Jules

         It was a cloudy Sunday morning and I found myself awake at 6:45am (why I don’t know). No one was outside in the park and the roads seemed to be fairly clear. The only activity we had planned for the day was cancelled by the host due to…

  • San Jose, Costa Rica: The Central Market

    San Jose, Costa Rica: The Central Market

         After going to bed so early in the morning I surprisingly got up around 10:30am thanks to the sound of dogs barking in a busy park outside. The park was full of adults, kids and dogs walking, playing and eating out. The skies looked clearer outside though they’re calling…

  • San Jose, Costa Rica: They Say Pura Vida

    San Jose, Costa Rica: They Say Pura Vida

         The time has finally come for the San Jose, Costa Rica trip with my mom. This is my last trip for about 2 months before I’m back at it again but we’ve been anticipating getting away for a bit. Coming back from Charlotte late really messed my timing…

    San Pedro Sula y Roatan, Honduras: How I Got Here and Tips/Reviews

    I can’t tell you exactly how I found out about San Pedro Sula, Honduras specifically (I’m guessing it had to be directly through Avianca) but the deal I got was thanks to a post somewhere on social media declaring August 23, 2023 as “Cheap Flight Day.” I saw and read…

  • Roatan, Honduras: Dash It All

    Roatan, Honduras: Dash It All

    I try to make it a point to pack at night because I’m the type of person that would rather sleep later the next morning versus getting up early (or forgetting to). I packed the night before and slept fairly ok (being on the islands with the bugs and what…

  • Roatan, Honduras: Jungle Moments

    Roatan, Honduras: Jungle Moments

    It was a long night with not enough sleep knowing I needed to be up early for a tour this morning. Today I had arranged a tour through GetYourGuide to do an Eco Walk, Ziplining and Beach Day. I’ll be at the beach tomorrow morning so I opted to skip…

  • Roatan, Honduras: Birthday Chronicles and Adventures

    Roatan, Honduras: Birthday Chronicles and Adventures

    It’s my birthday today and I’m so blessed to see another year at 36. I want to just first take this time to say how grateful and thankful I am to be able to experience the things in which I have, do and will do. Also thank you for the…

  • Honduras: Travel Day and First Impressions

    Honduras: Travel Day and First Impressions

    I’m usually a last minute packer but I was really a last minute packer with this trip. I took the day off to clean house, run errands, do laundry and pack and still found myself leaving the house 30 minutes later than I intended to. But first let’s talk about…

  • Denver, CO Contd. :Relaxation, RedRocks and Pampering

    Denver, CO Contd. :Relaxation, RedRocks and Pampering

    Colorado has been an absolute break away which was just what I needed. I decided instead of doing my write-ups day by day for this trip to just highlight key moments (whereas I would usually have 4 posts spanning my 4 days here, I will just have 2 post one…

  • Denver, CO: The Manitou Incline

    Denver, CO: The Manitou Incline

    I’ve been wanting to go to Denver, CO for some time now (in general mostly) but a few years ago when I saw someone highlight the Manitou Incline on Facebook I remember saying, “I want to do that.” I knew whenever I made it that that was going to be…
