Koala in Australia

9 reasons to spend NYE at Sydney’s Royal Botanical Gardens

New Years Eve in Sydney I never thought I’d spend hundreds of dollars on seeing a few things sparkle in the sky, but you know, never say never. In 2018 my family and I ventured to Australia for a few…

Amazing Australia

AMAZING indeed! I spent three weeks in Australia wine tasting my way through Melbourne’s Yarra Valley, cuddling Koalas in Queensland, diving the GB Reef in Cairns, exploring iconic Sydney, adventuring down the Great Ocean Road and so much more. Even…

Is 𝗔𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘀 on your bucket

Is 𝗔𝗿𝗸𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗮𝘀 on your bucket list? Lemme guess….Nope 🙃 If it wasn’t for these two things: See all 50 US states (37/50) and all 63 US National Parks (22/63) it probably wouldn’t have made mine either but then I wouldn’t have been pleasantly surprised. Hot Springs National Park is in Hot Springs Arkansas and turns out it is more like a national town than a park. This area is known as the “American Spa” and also the birthplace of Spring Training Baseball. In the early 1800s, many people believed the springs held special therapeutic healing properties which transition the area into a sought-after spa town. There are 8 historical bathhouses on Main street which is apart of the National Park and two still offer bathing opportunities. The water is way too hot out of the ground for a soak but you can dip your fingers in one of the hot springs pools that flows into the center of town. There are a few hiking trails, camp sites, look out towers, shops, museums, duck tours and the best part-you can fill up a jug of hot spring healing water for free and yes it comes out hott! What is one place you have been that pleasantly surprised you?

𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗺𝗲 I always loved to travel and did a lot of domestic travel with my family growing up but it wasn’t until 2017 and a trip to Iceland that really sparked my wanderlust. I seriously stepped off the plane in Keflavik and thought to my self “Holy S*&% is this what I have been missing?” I started saving like crazy, cut out streaming services, subscriptions, the gym, eating out, drinking and more and put all the extra dough into my travel fund. My goal was (and still is) simple….I just want to 𝗦𝗘𝗘 the world. In 2018, I went to more countries that year than I did in the previous 10 years. At the end of 2019 I started my travel blog 𝘄𝘄𝘄.𝗦𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗦𝗮𝗺.𝗰𝗼𝗺 and IG account @𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴__𝘀𝗮𝗺 as a place to share two of my passions, travel & photography. In early 2020 I was laid off from a career in the corporate fashion world. It was unexpected but I decided to look at it as an opportunity to do some things I always wanted to do….one in particular, long-term travel. Unfortunately, the lockdown canceled all my travel plans and I spent the summer in upstate New York (it was a great summer) Trying to figure out what to do next I started a Virtual Assistant business @virtual.sam.i.am. Although I worked for a few amazing clients, at the end of the year, I found it VERY difficult to secure consistent work with the schedule I desired, the pay I deserved and with clients I respected. When a good friend of mine said “Sam you can do whatever you want to do” that’s when I decided to do something I’ve never thought i’d do. A few months later, I rented out my condo, packed up my 2010 @hyundaiusa, and left for a 12-week solo car-camping road trip. That was five weeks ago 😄 I have met plenty of people along the way who always ask “aren’t you scared to travel solo?” to that I always reply, nope. It’s one of the best decisions i’ve ever made! Follow my stories for the day to day and come back here for more static posts from the trip. I’ve got SO MUCH to share 😃 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗕𝗜𝗚 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴?

Page, AZ is one of those bucket-list places to visit for two reasons, Horseshoe Bend and Antelope Canyon. These sights get all the attention but there is so much more to explore when visiting Page My favorite hidden gem: Marble Canyon 📸 The Cathedral Wash Trail- rated as difficult only because there is a LOT of scrambling through rocks to get to the river at the end but that’s the fun part 🙃 Navajo lands are still closed but if you are dying to see Antelope Canyon you can still access the National Park section via a guided kayak or paddleboard tour ($125) If guided tours isn’t your style, 𝗧𝗿𝘆 𝗮 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗵𝗶𝗸𝗲:
•Colorado River Overlook trail 5.8m (near horse shoe bend)
•Hanging Gardens 1.2m
•Rock Lane Trail 1.9m
•Page Rim view Trail 9.8m 𝗥𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 (𝗯𝗼𝗮𝘁, 𝗽𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱, 𝗸𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗸):
•Tour Lake Powell
•Explore the Colorado River
•Find Rainbow Bridge (via a boat ride or 30 mile hike) 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲:
•Explore Glen Canyon Dam
•Head to Lee’s Ferry
•Stop at the Old Navajo Bridge
•Shop at the Interpretive market
•Day trip to Monument Valley
•Vermilion Cliffs Scenic Drive
•Day trip to the Grand Canyon North Rim Have you been to Page, AZ?

𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿

𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛 𝗗𝗔𝗬 🌎🌱🌻 Out of all the landscapes I have seen and places I have visited the the most rewarding, breathtaking and memorable experiences are the ones with 𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗧𝗛 at the forefront. Here are a few of those most memorable experiences 👉🏻 Did you know the first Earth Day was established in 1970 after 20 Million people held rallies across the US in response to an oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA? Much has changed since then, but then again, not nearly enough 🤷‍♀️ Considering what the human race takes from the earth each day, one day of awareness each year doesn’t really seem to fit 🤔 But here’s hoping this one day a year is a pleasant reminder to appreciate the beauty around you & make the effort to do the small things you can do to help protect the serenity and vastness that is Mother Earth 😍 because isn’t she a beauty? 🙃
