Posted on January 20, 2019 by 365 days of marriage

In honor of penguin appreciation day, I wanted to give a shout out to my super awesome client, and her amazing project – The Antarctic Experience. She’s in Antarctica now, and you can catch updates on her Instagram account.

Antarctica is high on my major bucket list, and I can’t wait to finally go. Have you ever been?

Day 2956 – What’s On My Travel Bucket List

Posted on August 14, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

I’m thankful to be pretty well traveled in the United States. I’m currently at 37 states visited (with Bret). After chasing the eclipse in a week, hopefully we’ll be at 38, but it all depends on weather. We have a loose goal of visiting all 50 states before traveling internationally. I would love to see so many things, but here are a few of my top picks.

Ireland When I was still drinking, I couldn’t wait to try a Guinness at the brewery in Ireland. Now that I’m sober, I can’t wait to tour the brewery and just enjoy the land.

Antarctica One of my clients regularly works in Antarctica, and I’ve seen so many amazing pictures. I hope to one day make it down while she’s there.

Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta While researching living out of an RV, this was an oft discussed destination. It looks like a total blast.

Hiking all 46 high peaks I grew up visiting Lake Placid, NY every summer and some winters. It is a truly magical place. There are 46 mountains that fall into the category of high peaks. I would love to say I’m a ’46er and hike them all.

Visit the USMC museum in VA It’s funny this is on my list, because I’ve been in Quantico so many times, and it’s so close. But I’ve always had a reason that I couldn’t stop by. Maybe I can knock this one out while we chase the sun and moon!

This is just the tip of the iceberg of my bucket list. I have a large list in my personal Asana account. This doesn’t even include my Roadtrippers saved places. I have a feeling my bucket list will always grow, and I will constantly find more that I want to see. I sure am glad I have a spouse who loves to travel too. 🙂

Bonus – Riverwalk again We fell in love with Riverwalk when we visited in 2014. We’ve talked about going back and staying in a hotel on the river. Definitely on the list. 🙂

Day 2896 – How To Keep Track Of Your Bucket List

Posted on June 15, 2017 by 365 days of marriage

One of the great things about travel is that there are so many amazing things to see and do in this world. Even though I’ve taken four cross country road trips, and dozens of local (in the 4-12+ hour range) road trips, I am still overwhelmed with the amount of destinations I want to visit. I had so many different lists, reminders, emails to myself, and saved places on Roadtrippers, that I knew I needed a better solution.

A few months back, I finally came up with something perfect for me – I used Asana. I’m a really big fan of Asana. I use it for keeping track of tasks for my clients, for keeping track of my writing projects and ideas, and for organizing my travel reminders. It’s free, you can access it on the web or as an app. I do recommend setting everything up on a desktop web browser.

At first my list was just a long, unorganized batch of places to go. I went back through, added the locations, and sorted by location. It makes looking through so much easier. I still have many more things to add, but it’s a lot cleaner than it used to be. Here’s a screen shot my actual bucket list!
