After living in Brazil for almost a year and a half and spending the majority of the pandemic there, I’m excited to finally be blogging about the US again! And what better state to feature than Arizona? Believe it or not, I had actually never been there before last week...
For my last trip of the 2010s, I wanted to do something easy and familiar. The past two years since I started blogging have been filled with new countries, new jobs, adventures, and more. I wanted to ease into my holiday break in the US the most chill way possible: with a five-day stopover in Hawaii...
Since I started blogging in January of 2018, I’ve taken dozens of weekend trips to cities and towns in the US, Mexico, and beyond. In almost every case, the atmosphere or vibe of the city was easy to pinpoint after only a few hours of exploring. But for whatever reason, that wasn’t the case with Dallas, a city with an elusive character...
This is Caffeinated Excursion's second guest post! My cousin, Kailyn, recently went to San Juan, Puerto Rico and has written about her experience! If you're looking for crystal clear waters, delicious food and drinks, and America's only tropical rainforest, read more here...
For my latest excursion, I returned to the Bay Area to visit a friend from college, Stephanie, who was a totally amazing tour guide of San Jose and the nearby California coast! I assumed that this trip would be similar to my recent journey to San Francisco, but I was pleasantly surprised by how different it was...
This is an exciting post for the blog since it’s my very first one covering a West Coast city! The last time I was in the Bay Area was in 2012 (before I was 21, I might add), so when I found $300 last-minute tickets from Mexico City to San Francisco, I couldn’t resist...
As a travel blogger who started this blog in January of 2018, I am always tempted to write about places I’ve been in years past. One such place is Austin, Texas. I first visited in June of 2017 to see a good friend from college...
I love geographically unique places. If you ask me how I choose my travel destinations, there are a number of obvious answers: cost, feasibility, whether friends want to go along, etc. But geography is another huge factor for me, especially for solo trips. When I decided to take a road trip through the Outer Banks of North Carolina...
There are a handful of American cities that I would describe as just plain fun: for example, New Orleans and Miami. As of this past weekend, I’m adding Nashville to that list. A friend from high school and I went and discovered an up-and-coming city where we could relax, decompress, and have a good time...
This past weekend I had to run an errand in Daytona Beach, Florida, so I took the opportunity to check out two new destinations along the way: St. Augustine and Amelia Island! Both areas are situated on the coast within an hour’s drive of Jacksonville...
