I've been in a travel drought, I haven't been anywhere since October 2024. Unfortunately, the back half of 2024 was filled with health complications and I had to cancel my 35th birthday trip to Thailand. I was devastated. This year, I've decided that as soon as my body is fully healed I am back to catching flights.
Destin, FL
My goddaughter is having a birthday trip and I plan to be outside galavanting with her and the family. It will be perfect to jet away from the cold temps in Chicago for a weekend of warm weather at the beach.
Little Rock, AR
I usually go home once a year to visit family and catch up with childhood friends. This year I will get to take my mentees with me and I'm actually excited for them to see where I grew up. I can't wait to beg my aunt for a fish fry, take them to Hot Springs, and have them try and climb Pinnacle Mountain.
Morocco
After the 35th birthday debacle, I made a declaration that I will be going on a 2-week solo trip this year. I decided that I would be going back to the continent where I had my first solo trip, Africa. I hope to visit several of the cities and I can't wait to share my itinerary with you all when I return. I'm most excited about the museums, mint tea, adventures, Moroccan food and spices, and perfumes.
Houston
My family has FINALLY decided that we can travel for Christmas...because yes, those kids are old enough. As much as I enjoy seeing my family, I do not need to go to the same city every year for the holidays. I am glad that this year we are going to Houston, it is my favorite city in TX. It will be great to have some warmth, seafood, and fine men.
