Travel from sea to shining sea; by car or by plane, there's plenty to see in the good ole US of A.
My First Time Traveling
In my 24 years of life I had never traveled before overseas. I have only had experiences traveling in my country, Panama. All these years I’ve been doing some internal tourism, but I haven’t even visited all the places in my country. I have always wanted to travel abroad, for tourism or for studying. Finally, it is going to happen.

Best Places to Vacation on the East Coast
The east coast usually doesn't get as much love as other vacation destinations across the country, but it's about time that changes. Sure, the weather can be brutal during the winter months, but when it finally defrosts, the east coast has some world class beach towns.

Conquering Walt Disney World
1. Hidden Mickeys I am sure you’ve heard about the hidden Mickeys, because well, who hasn’t? If you are unfamiliar with the hidden Mickeys, then this will definitely be a treat for your next trip to Walt Disney World. There are actually a few published books/pamphlets that you can purchase online that will tell you where all of them are located. However, I like a challenge. (Of course, you could also just read a few articles online to get an idea of what/where they are.) The last two times I visited Walt Disney World, I have actually found a few of them. When you are on rides, pay attention. I know there is so much going on and there is so much to look at. I found a super tiny hidden Mickey on the Splash Mountain ride. This ride in particular has so many things to see and take in. To be honest, I wasn’t looking for one at that time. I just came across it. The hidden Mickey I saw was a fishing lure, hidden along with a few other lures. I immediately got excited.

Southampton to Jersey
This was my first visit to Jersey and despite—or because of—the weather, I am looking forward to getting there again. My journey began at Southampton Airport. Once I had checked in, cleared security, and as experienced air travelers say "airside," I really felt my journey had started. I also still had another hour to wait before boarding.

Daytrip: Saguaro National Park
Just outside of Tuscon, Arizona is the Saguaro National park. 143 square miles of natural desert with trails and drives allowing you to enjoy the park from the comfort of your own car. One of the many national parks in the United States Park system, Saguaro National Park is conveniently located outside of the bustling city of Tucson. The park is located on either side of the major metropolitan hub, complete with an airport. The Saguaro National Park and the surrounding desert (called the Sonoran Desert) is the only place in the world where you can find the Saguaro cactus, making it a truly unique place to visit. During the summer, there is very little wildlife during the day but if you visit around sunset you may see lizards, rabbits or even a deer (like we did). Like Joshua Tree National park, Saguaro National park is surprisingly green for a desert park and in springtime the wildflowers must be amazing. We arrived there in late summer, after the major blooms had faded, however, many of the cacti still had remaining blooms on their crowns.

Travel the Small Towns
You have to learn how to step into the world of living in small town every now and then. This is a story about a small town in East Texas called Lufkin. It is seated in Angelina County. You don't hear about it much unless you are looking at the NFL draft or something, because Lufkin can produce some really good football players. It's a small town North of Houston and South of Dallas. Lufkin is that perfect small middle ground of a town. It offers everything you need, to be honest. Shopping, downtown shopping centers, and even things like a Walmart and Sam's Club (Sam's is like a Costco, for those who don't know). This small town is less than 30 minutes away from Nacogdoches. It's called the oldest town in Texas. However, Lufkin has so much to offer. The downtown scene is far from small. You've got shops that offer anything from antiques, to coffee, wine, and other things like personalized shirts and Yeti cups. Believe me, somehow that is still a big thing here in Texas. There is a coffee shop called Standpipe Coffee House. It gives you that great hole-in-the-wall shop feeling, but it really opens up once you get inside. It also offers some outdoor seating around the doors. The area plays a local radio station through the streets so while you do a little shopping and walking around, you get to enjoy some tunes as well. Also, if you like wine and flatbread meals, you should try out Restoration Wine Bar. On Saturday they offer $3 Sangria—house-made Sangria, at that! It's amazing! I'm not a big wine drinker, but it's so smooth with the perfect sweet taste from the orange slice. You can tell it was made fresh that morning and chilled just in time to open the doors. Lufkin offers so much more. It's very historic in its own way.

My First New York Trip
I have never been to New York in my entire life. I know it is a big city, a blended city of cultures, sights, and smells. But being able to go to New York was an interesting opportunity for me. It came with only one condition. I can explore the city, but I have to meet a couple of people in the process.
