Seattle to Los Angeles to Sydney, NSW – Airline Food and False Air Emergencies

February 6, 2015 by solestraveling

Well, first, I decided to go to Australia sometime last month. I just kind of decided. Then, somehow, my trip turned into a three week tour of Australia and New Zealand. I bought my tickets on January 16th, and here I am today. I also decided not to check bags. While I can check three … [Read more…]

January 16, 2015 by solestraveling

This is my second trip to Syracuse for work, again I was there for an event at Destiny USA. I had a great time on my first trip to Syracuse in November, but I didn’t have a ton of time to enjoy all the the gems that the city offers because I had to rush … [Read more…]

Portland, Oregon: Brunch, Sour Beers, Breweries, and More Beer

I needed two more nights at the Hilton in 2014, so I called Laura and asked her if she wanted to take a random trip to Portland. Of course, she was in. We left after work on Friday, and headed down at about 6:00 p.m. The freeway was a mess, and I half listened to … [Read more…]

Detroit, (and Mason) Michigan: Home for the Holiday

December 29, 2014 by solestraveling

It’s that time of year again; I’m heading home for the holidays. And home for me is the Detroit suburbs. Since this is a personal trip and not a work trip, I saved a few bucks by jumping on the light rail from Westlake to SeaTac. I opted to leave a little earlier, just in … [Read more…]

If you haven’t read part one of this trip, you should go here and do that. Laura and I started our day a little late. We were both still on Pacific time (Laura more than me) and who doesn’t like to sleep in. Our plan for the day was to do a lot of very … [Read more…]

My flight was super delayed (like three hours) and it was one of those flights where I actually fell asleep while we were still on the ground (for two hours) and woke up in the air. I had no clue that it had been two hours, and was really confused as to why we weren’t … [Read more…]

Los Angeles, California – Concert, Exhaustion, and Treating Myself

December 21, 2014 by solestraveling

After my Toronto trip, I was so excited to be greeted by warm weather in LA. However, I had to connect through Atlanta before arriving in LA. When I got to Atlanta, I checked my phone and received some new messages between the time WiFi went out and we landed. Without getting into it too … [Read more…]

Toronto, Ontario – Snow, Tie Domi, but No Burgers

After my 30 hours home in Seattle, it was time to head to Toronto. Now, I have a love/hate relationship with business travel to Canada. There are many reasons as to why, but to start, it’s always a little anxious crossing the border (and yes, I have a Nexxus and Global Entry card), and you … [Read more…]

Phoenix, AZ – Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, Gastropubs, & The Detroit Lions

December 20, 2014 by solestraveling

I arrived safely in Phoenix (where it was so warm!) and went straight to the mall to help set up (even though I was absolutely exhausted). After set up went to our hotel, The Hilton Phoenix Chandler, to catch a few hours of shut eye before going back to set up around 5:30. Just as I … [Read more…]

About Me

I travel, write, photo, experience, learn. I’m a wanderlust addict and prefer the window seat — be it on a plane or in the R-Pod. Relocated to Raleigh in 2016 after nine years in Seattle, but still a Detroiter at heart. Next destination: wherever.

New on the blog: Our visit to the @pharmacymuseum. It's a little gem of a museum, and very affordable. If you're in New Orleans and love history — especially medical and pharmacy — I highly recommend adding it to your list.

At the beginning of this year I made a pledge to m At the beginning of this year I made a pledge to myself to do one thing for "me." Writing has always been my outlet and I have a lot of random knowledge in a niche I never expected to have... 

I have written over 20 posts this year so far for my blog, SolesOfMyTravelingShoes.com. My goal is 50.

And when I get to that goal... And I will... I'm actually going to spend some money to upgrade my website that is old and janky and from 2013. 

But for now... I'm excited to hit this milestone.

Sometimes RVing isn't about being in nature, the w Sometimes RVing isn't about being in nature, the woods, or magnificent views. Sometimes it's about being centrally located, staying in your own space (vs. a hotel or someone's house), and the convenience of walking (with your pup) to an onsite food truck.
