I have a fun “would you rather” for you guys that I like to ask travel friends! Would you rather fly first class for free for the rest of your life, OR stay in any hotel for free for the rest of your life? By first class, I mean even those $20k Emirates cabin suites, and by any hotel, I mean even a $5k/night penthouse or villa! ✈️ 🏨 . Realistically speaking, I think the free first class flights would serve my current lifestyle the best. There are several trips that are on my list (Bali, Sydney, Cape Town) that I’ve avoided booking because I just KNOW the journey is going to be miserable. I think if I knew I could step on a plane, go to sleep for 14 hours, and wake up wherever I wanted feeling refreshed, I would be encouraged to see more places. And because I’m doing so much sightseeing in so little time, I don’t know if I would really get a chance to enjoy a super fancy hotel to the fullest extent. 🌎 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ BUT in an alternate reality where I did extended (1-3 month) stays in cities around the world, a fancy hotel would obviously be the better option! Which would you guys choose? 🤔 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @belisiarodriguez #charlestonlife #southerncharm #charlestonsc #solofemaletravel #travelmoreworryless
I love how bicycle-friendly Charleston is (flat streets 🙌🏻), and how so many hotels offer complimentary bicycles to take out for a spin! I would love to have a bicycle in Seattle but there are so many hills and so much traffic, it’s just not the same. When’s the last time you went for a spin on two wheels? 🚲 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ On another note, I’m feeling pretty stressed out this week. Between wedding planning and work to-dos, I feel like I’m behind on things. When this happens I tend to shut down a little bit… which makes me even less productive, which leaves me even further behind, and then stressed out more. It’s a vicious cycle. 😭 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do any of you ever experience this? What are your tactics for breaking out of it? I could use a little pep talk right now! 📣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @belisiarodriguez #dametraveler #travelwomen #travelmoreworryless #lifewelltraveled #postcardplaces #vacation #travelgram #beautifulplaces #whatmakesyouhappy #travelinspiration #prettylittletrips #charlestonlife #southerncharm #visitcharleston #cntraveler #darlingescapes #femmetravel #wheretofindme
Raise your hand if you feel like the only person not at Coachella this weekend 🙋🏼‍♀️ have you ever been to Coachella? Or any other music festival? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I may not be at Coachella but I know what my festival outfit would be: a lightweight, beekeeper-esque jumpsuit (my motto: if it’s covered, it won’t burn!). 🐝 A medium-sized gardening hat that keeps the sun off my face and neck (but doesn’t obstruct my view). A gallon of SPF 50. A fanny pack full of earplugs (because hearing is important!). A backpack hydration pack (do they allow those?). A cribbage board (gotta pass the time in between artists somehow!). Do you think I would fit in?! 😂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ To be honest, the idea of going to Coachella intimidates me. I don’t love big crowds and the blazing desert sun would probably leave me tucked away in the shade as much as possible. Not that I would never go, but it’s the reason I’ve never made a point of seeing what the hype is all about. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Would you go to Coachella? What would your Coachella outfit be? 🌸 ☀️ ✌🏻 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @secret_key_photography #coachella #coachella2019 #musicfestivals #lifestyleblogger #savannahgeorgia #savannah #femmetravel #vacation #dametraveler #letsgoeverywhere #americanstyle #wheretofindme #teamkaptainkenny #whatmakesyouhappy #ootd #sundayvibes #seattleblogger
I’ve always been able to imagine alternate lives for myself - “sister lives” I think they’re called. In one life, I’m a college psychology professor 👩🏼‍🏫 In another, I’m a New Yorker with a beautiful condo in the heart of Manhattan (and a minimalist, but still Carrie Bradshaw-esque closet… without the tutus) 🌃 or alternatively, I’m a world-traveling photographer and journalist shooting on safaris and glaciers with National Geographic. 🦁 . One of the sister lives I’ve always imagined is living in the south, sitting out on a covered porch, sipping tea on a hot evening and watching a storm roll in. Fireflies and crickets everywhere. I think I have Nicholas Sparks and Sweet Home Alabama to thank for this. So whenever I get to visit the south and sit out on a porch just like this, it sparks a little joy in my soul, feeling like I get to step into a sister life if only for just a short time. 💛 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What are the sister lives you imagine for yourself? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 📷: @belisiarodriguez ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #travelgram #vacation #charlestonsc #charlestonlife #charleston #beautifulplaces #southerncharm #dametraveler #cntraveler #americanstyle #wearetravelgirls #darlingescapes #zerogeorge #uniquehotels #bestintravel #shewhowanders #teamkaptainkenny
