I’m the first to agree that trip planning takes a lot of work and can be overwhelming. Currently, I’m planning one trip for each month of 2020 and a multi-month trip for 2021. If I didn’t love the process so much, I could see why people travel with tour groups or choose to go to …

I’ve lived in San Diego all my life and I thought I knew everything there was to do in America’s Finest City especially when it came to hiking in San Diego.

It has always been my dream to throw my family in an RV and hit the road. I have dreamt of doing this for as long as I can remember. When we first decided to give it a try, it was going to just be for five months, but we enjoyed it so much that …
We love rock climbing! It’s a great family activity that we can all do together, it puts you in some of the most beautiful scenery, and we love how friendly and helpful the community of fellow rock climbers is.

Ouray is known as The Switzerland of America. Granted there are high mountain peaks and waterfalls in every direction you look, but I’ve been to Switzerland a few times and I’m sorry to say, Ouray isn’t Switzerland. However, Ouray is gorgeous and totally worth visiting any time of the year.
