5 Packing Hacks!

By
Packing is one of the most annoying elements of traveling. You have to worry about liquids, space in the suitcase, weight, and still have to figure out what you can bare to leave at home. Here are five travel hacks to make the task of packing a little easier.




1. Stuff Socks and Undies Inside Your Shoes: No space should go to waste when packing, use every nook and cranny to get your necessities into the suitcase.

2. Pack Shoes In Shower Caps: No one wants shoe prints and dirt on their clothes. Before packing your shoes, cover them in a cheap shower cap (like the one you get from a hotel) to keep your clothes clean. 

3. Lock Up The Rouge Hairpins: Put your hairpins in Tic-Tac containers to access them easily.

4. Spill Proof Your Bottles: Slip a bit of plastic wrap over the opening of a bottle and screw the top back on. 

5. Organize Jewelry: To keep rings and earrings in one place use old pill boxes to keep them paired up and safe.

I'm always looking for more packing hacks, let me know your favorite ones in the comment section!

Port Stephens: Marine Park & Lighthouse

By
November and December are always the worst blog months for me because I'm usually doing NANOWRIMO and there are lots of family birthdays and holiday events. And now I've started a second job! Although I'm not writing as much as I want, I do still have a backlog of videos! Don't forget that I do have a Youtube Channel (Click HERE) , a home for all of my trip videos, as well as travel tips and conversations with some of my favorite travel buddies!  Here is the latest video I posted; more footage of my Australian adventure :)  We spent our last day in Port Stephens and Nelson Bay buying postcard and wandering around the Marine Park working our way to the Lighthouse. It was a on-and-off-again cloudy and rainy day, but the views were still worth standing in the chilly air and a little rain. At the top of the incline, where the lighthouse and lighthouse museum is, there's also a little darling cafe! It's called the Inner Light Tea Rooms . (I'm telling you,

Group Travel: How to Start!

By
Traveling with friends can be a blast. Sometimes, even before you book tickets/hotels, it can also be a pain. The group has to get together, decide on location, dates, duration of trip, where to stay, and more. I believe the more work you put into your trip before travel, the more fun and relaxing the trip will be! Don't forget to check out an earlier post on Which Travel Size Fits You to help determine if group travel is for you! Currently I’m in the midst of planning a group trip with some friends overseas - which adds a bit more difficulty to this group travel planning process. They live in Europe and I’m in Ohio, so it's not like we can all sit down over coffee to hammer out the details in one go. But, thanks to modern technology there's group chat, video messages, and other ways to overcome the time differences. We know where we want to visit; Rome. Now we come to figuring out how long each of us are able to travel.

Pittsburgh Spots to See On Your Next Trip

By
There are, of course, so many things to see and very little time when all you've got is about 24 hours in one city. I did a quick day trip to Pittsburgh, PA and challenged myself to see some interesting stuff during my time there.   I did the Duquesne Incline and saw the stadiums, bridges, and sights from afar. (View from the top of the Incline)  I didn't want to waste time trying to get to all of the best diners all around the city, which I am sure are great, and I didn't go to The Strip or do any tours. Instead, after the Incline, I went to the place that drew me to this city in the first place: RandyLand !  I saw this place on Instagram and knew I had to see it for myself. The drive wasn't long for me, coming from Columbus, OH. It opens at 10 am and Randy was there tinkering around. He welcomes everyone with a great big smile and his contagious high energy. Randyland is truly an expression of the man who made it. (Randy Gilson) R
