Class IV Rapids- First Time on a Blowup Kayak

Labor Day weekend and no kid from Saturday to Monday. It’s nearly 90 degrees and a beautiful day, in which I pissed away most of cleaning my house among other mundane, domestic shit. By about 8 pm, I’m a mess but decide to go my spot and have a drink. I still have the kayak…

Egypt

Cairo, Egypt & Giza

My story, traveling alone to Egypt for nearly a week. I didn’t know the language or customs and stayed in a Hostel in Cairo.

New York, New York

This is one of those times I just flat-out, did not have the money to be traveling – oh well! Stayed at a hostel, went to wall street, saw the twin towers, statue of liberty, took the subway and the ferry, and of course i couldn’t pass up central park! It was a blast.

Belize

Belize City, San Ignacio, & San Pedro, Belize

Flew to Belize by myself, rented a car, drove across the country, met some locals, went cave tubing, saw some ruins & basked on some beautiful beaches…

Paris, France

Short, but sweet. Took advantage of my 6 hour layover with a tour of the main sites.

Cancun, Mexico

the most ghetto-broke of my life, my future ex-husband and i ventured off to mexico for my cousins wedding.

New Orleans, Louisiana

My first solo trip and the one that started it all. Mardi Gras is probably crazy anywhere, but this is where it all started and boy did they not Disappoint. If shit-shows stress you out, better take a valium before you read.

Traveling With Kids

disneyland, seaworld, train to Portland, whatever it was, I was Definity in Over My Head lol

Day 14: Bon Voyage Motha F*******!!

Disaster Relief Deployment in Florida I spent the first 12 days working at a shelter with 2-20 people in it, depending on the day. It was at a recreation center in a nice neighborhood. Every night when I came in there were at least a hundred people (mostly kids) filling the basketball courts and/or in…

The Grand Canyon vs. Frontier Airlines

PDX to LAS to The Grand Canyon My plane was supposed to leave 6/15 at 9:30 pm to Las Vegas, where I would rent a car and head off on a road trip to the Grand Canyon until the 18th. Thanks to the luxury airline, Frontier, I didn’t leave until 4pm on 6/16. Hence the…

Voting in Florida

I didn’t realize that we (Oregonians) are one of, if not the only state, that mails out ballots ahead of time. In Florida, you wait for hours in line…

Portland to Paris to Egypt: Part 1 (March 18th, 2021)

You know the 1 pint-size Ziplock bag that you have to fit all your liquids in to get through security at the airport? People usually fill them with toiletries and such… I filled mine with Fireball.

Red Cross Disaster Relief (Tampa, Florida) – Day 1 of 14

Hurricanes Helene (September 2024) made landfall as a Category 4 in Florida and made its’s way to Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. Helene’s high winds and flooding killed more than 230 people, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the U.S. since Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico in 2017. Hurricane Milton (October 2024) also made landfall in Florida and caused record flooding and devastation…

Clash of The Retirees & The Working Class

I asked some local retirees if they had considered the strain they put on folks trying to commute to and from work. One senior replied, “Oh, that’s just fake news”.

Red Cross Disaster Relief, Florida

“Pretty soon there was water pouring in from everywhere. Water was shooting out of the toilet. I couldn’t even see the toilet. Everything was floating. I thought I was going to die…”

A Trip to Idaho & A Conductors’ Surprise

We had made BFF’s with the Golden Girls and some old couple that were funnier than shit. By the time we got on the train, Chelsea thought she was British….

Nevada/Arizona Road Trip

T-minus 7 days I randomly found a round-trip ticket to Vegas and back for $37 so that’s where I’m going in 7 days. Rented a SUV- $124/3 days The $37 does not even include a carry-on but luckily for me I use a very large purse lol and don’t need much to survive.

Con-Expo, Las Vegas

Previously on “The Las Vegas Shit Show”… Before I begin, the reason it has taken me 9 months for the continuance of my post, Viva Las Vegas, is due mostly because the crazy funny shit I wanted to include was about my “boss”, other coworkers, & my soon to be ex-boyfriend (also a coworker), and…

Paris and Egypt Trip: A Prequal

Work just finally died down and I’m suddenly thrown into the inevitable slow time the Construction Industry experiences every year. I’m fucking off at work, currently on Kayak, using their “Explore” feature. It’s actually pretty badass: you put in your airport and adjust filters to meet your needs and Voila!! It’s a huge map with…

Flying With A Firearm

This was my first time flying with a gun. It was surprisingly easy, but probably because I did a lot of research ahead of time. I will just give you the plane facts right now (no pun intended) of what you need to know, with no filler material!! ** Please note, this is my experience.…

Yellowstone National Park

As usual (when I get this wild hair up my ass to kick rocks), I was trolling Kayak for a few days, trying to pick my next destination. Sadly, I was (am) kind of screwed in the sense I cannot leave the country: my second passport was recently stolen (out of and along with my…

Viva Las Vegas

Las Vegas: T Minus One Day Grand Theft Auto My plane boards at 5:40am on Thursday: it’s 4:30 am on Wednesday, and of course I haven’t packed. My plan was to go get a spray tan after work today, then pack. I finished getting ready, posted something about “24-hrs till Vegas”, then brought my purse,…

la photographie

i don’t know if it was the traveling…. or just the life experiences…. but, I’ve acquired an appreciation for the beauty around us. It’s actually become hard sometimes to remember to just enjoy it, rather than capture it…

The Painted Hills, a Road Trip.

Any one of these cars could kill me. One sneeze, one text, one bad day… It’s terrifying.Yet, jumping on the back of a Harley with a complete stranger, who just walked out of a bar, with no cell phone service, doesn’t even phase me.
