#Kenzietravels
It all started on August third, though the first post wouldn’t be seen until the 12th. A young woman was found dead in her family home. It was an overdose. A painful day for her family and friends. With a person so small and a heart so big, it was going to be difficult to find a proper way to say goodbye. Yet somehow, they did.

Adventuring Done by the Jurgys
There are people who take action in seizing what life and the world have to offer and those who only think of that idea. Amongst the middle ground resides the traveling Internet influencers known as the Jurgys. Married couple Bryce and Nellie Jurgy (and now their daughter, Avalyn) travel to different places in the country and world to explore the possibilities they have to offer on their never-ending journey to encourage others to go out and make adventures of their own. From driving a tank in Minnesota to doing yoga in the midst of a traffic jam in winter to riding a hot air balloon in Paris or even bracing an event called "Slide the City," they do whatever it takes to help motivate potential explorers and adventurers.

Rent an RV
It had never occurred to me that one can rent a trailer or RV just like one rents a room in someone's home. It wasn't until I starting writing on UpWork that I realized that people can rent trailers and RV's for trips. This is a clever idea for both the owner and renter. I owned a popup trailer with my husband when the kids were little. The trailer spent most of it's time in the garage. If we were lucky, we took the kids camping a few weekends out of the year.

My Christmas in Palma De Mallorca
This year for Christmas, I spent the holiday in Spain. I landed four days before the big day and being pessimistic I packed lots of jumpers and a huge trench coach, in disbelief that the weather would be this gorgeous.

Reality RV
It's everyone's dream to sell everything you own and travel this beautiful country in an RV. No clocks or time constraints. Nowhere in particular that you need to be. If you don't like the neighborhood, you can break camp and find another one. I'm never been without a roof over my head and food in my stomach while my family and I explore the highways and byways of America, seeing sights some will never see. The bright blue of a cloudless Colorado sky. The ocean off the coast of Oregon. The field in Pennsylvania where United flight 93 crashed on that fateful September day. The swamps of southern Georgia and the masterpiece that is Mount Rushmore. Nothing is out of reach.

Mixed Adventures in France
In the summer of 2010, precisely a few weeks after my Grandfather’s birthday, my family and I took a trip to France. We were visiting relatives. Generations ago, my grandfather’s uncle stayed in France while his father moved to America. My grandfather was a first-generation born American. His cousin Tazette lived in France with seven sisters. Her children were Cecilia, Elisabeth, Jeanette, and Adele. They were my mom’s "cousins." My siblings and I had four cousins: Wyatt and Jacques, Elisabeth’s children, and Azurine and Victor, Cecilia’s children. Adele and Jeanette never had children.
