Traveling in Your City
When I was planning long weekend trips or spring break vacations during school my constant travel destination was New York City. This Big Apple is home to thousands upon thousands of entertaining activities that could captivate even the most traditional stay-at-home introvert; naturally, I was drawn to its stimulating adventures. Using any excuse that I could to fly away to its bright lights, I had then decided after the twelfth trip that my home was left in the streets of this city. I picked up and moved to the east side of Manhattan after graduation and have been here ever since exploring my home. Exploring the place that you live in can be tricky at times. Your work week can consist of a nine to five job, where at the end of the day you would like to relax and unwind, and your weekends tend to be spent recovering from the night before. After this pattern becomes more present you wonder when you stopped exploring? This is a pattern that I have found in my time being in the city and here are a few practices that even I need to remember when moving to your dream vacation spot.

In my life, I've met a lot of people who were smart, hard-working, and destined for success. However, one of the best, most intelligent people I know is no longer capable of holding a job. The reason why is because he had a nervous meltdown due to overwork while he was in school, and he ended up snapping.

A Different Kind of Summer!
Usually, when we think of summer—we think of beaches, tropical destinations, cocktails in the sun etc. However, I have been fortunate enough to have experienced a different kind of summer—in places like Norway and Alaska! A very different climate indeed. Imagine seeing snow instead of sand, and imagine seeing mountains instead of palm trees. My summer experiences in the snowy mountains is a very unique travel experience.

Last Minute Shenanigans
I recently took about a five day trip through Utah and Arizona, which was definitely one of the most last minute, spontaneous trips of my life. It started out as “Hey, why don’t we do something after Feast,” and ended up as a crazy four day trip through the Narrows in Zion and through the valley of the Grand Canyon. We put about as much thought into this trip as high school boys put into what they’re going to wear to gym class. It was while I was on my way to Phoenix for the winter that a friend of mine, Austin, called me somewhere along the way and said he had bought a one-way flight to Phoenix. Woot! So I finished the remnant of my 22 hour trip from KC to Phoenix, got a tight seven hours, woke up, and picked up Austin from the Sky Harbour airport the next day.

However, they are too self centered and free spirited to join an organized tour, so primarily, individual trips are highly recommended for them, but of course not alone, but with friends. They are always in action, even on their holiday. A place like Guanajuato is what they need to discover their inner explorer.
