India's Wonder
Not at all what I expected of India and her people. Jaw dropping architecture; warm, friendly people and poverty that is overshadowed by the citizens of this realm. Their happiness to invite you into their humble homes is overwhelming. Families just do what they have to so as to survive a life of extreme poverty and desolation. The opposite of the elite rich in the country.

Boon Docking - Phase Two
First week living in the fifth wheel has been a success! The weather out here hasn't been the best. We live in the southwest, so we are caught between the winter cold and the spring monsoons. That hasn't stopped us from enjoying our new life! For those who are just new to this thread of boon docking stories, we live in (and around) Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. It's a great little town in Sierra county. We are famous for our hotsprings, and not only have the Rio Grande river but also Elephant Butte and Caballo lakes! If you're ever looking for a great place to take a vacation, or just looking to get out on the water look us up!

Boon Docking
So recently my boyfriend and I decided to buy a fifth wheel. We had notions of buying a house and just minimizing the amount we go out. Luckily, though, the plan fell through and we started talking about boon docking. We had talked about this before but never really went through with it. We had even gone as far as buying a huge 39’ fifth wheel. We had all kinds of ideas as to what we were going to do to get it ready to live in, and even started some of the work on it. However, we never really got it together and bought a smaller one just to go camping in. It was a great trailer, and we made a lot of memories taking that thing out. One thing that stuck out to us was that when it came time to leave, we were so comfortable out there we just didn’t want to go home.

North Dakota Isn't as Boring as You Think
North Dakota. Ah, the hilled country side, the vast open plains where you can watch your dog run away for a year. It's always the same landscape; there's a hill over there, a tree row over there, and a field of sunflowers over there. You've got your rednecks at the local, small town bar, and the sheriff is in love with the fire chief's wife.

Traveling to South Korea?
Traveling is a whole new world to more people than we realize. In most cases, people don't travel until they can get a guaranteed or high-paying job. For me, my only option for a trip earlier than that was to study abroad. A lot went into this process just to set up my trip to South Korea. I needed to get and pay for a passport, apply to International Study Abroad programs (ISEP), and talk to my advisor about my needed or possible courses I could take. I also had to apply to the colleges there that were most likely to accept me. I got my acceptance letter and from there on kept going through the process. Even with all the confusion I had experienced, I still managed to go abroad for a semester. All of this for just one short semester cost me approximately $13,000.

Eighteen Horses
It was midnight. Lafayette, Louisiana. The GPS guided me to the truck stop. There were no empty spots. I drove a few more miles and found a Walmart parking lot with enough space for one more. It was lit up like high noon. What am I doing?

10 Travel Tips for a First Time in Europe
After five months of consistent travel, I’ve definitely learned my fair share of lessons. Like the time I was arrested by the metro controllers in Budapest because I couldn't find the place to buy my tickets and took the metro without one... and finally ended up with a 100$ ticket instead.

6 Travel Tips for Women Visiting India. Top Story - February 2018.
India is a vast and beautiful subcontinent. This magical country is home to over 200 national languages, all major world religions, and a variety of subcultures.

What will their toilets look like? Is it safe to be alone on a train? Are there even many women's restrooms available in public markets? While this list does not cover all of the things a female traveler should consider, it covers the basics and helps keep you culturally prepared for some of the encounters you may experience along the way.
