Where can I travel to next?

Travel. When I see this word, it instantly makes me start to daydream. I think of the places that I have been lucky enough to travel to and all the rest that I dream of adventuring to one day. Whether that be a weekend getaway or a bigger trip, it all is just as equally exciting. My favorite part of traveling is always the preparation. I get so excited that depending on how big the trip is, you could find me planning outfits and researching more about the place, weeks or months in advance. In 2016, I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to go to Paris, France. As soon as I had received the itinerary, I was online researching everything that we had to look forward to. The funny thing about traveling is that no matter how much preparation you do beforehand, in the moment, things could go completely on track or not at all. Another fun little thing to do in preparation for a trip is that while looking at an itinerary, just imagine all of the new memories you will make and the people you will meet along the way. Something about the different cultures, foods and experiences always makes me want to explore even more. Each location can be very different in its own ways. From the beaches of Florida to the mountains of North Carolina to even different countries. I am always trying to plan at least a small trip every once in a while. My bucket-list has a lot of trips on it; big and small, so I have to slowly start somewhere when I can.

I most recently just took a weekend trip up to visit my younger sister, who goes to school in Cullowhee, North Carolina. Her college is much bigger than mine so it is always interesting to see the differences between the two. Since I am always by the beach, going to the mountains is always a nice change of scenery. On my last day, we went to the Blue Ridge Parkway where the views left me completely speechless. It still has been very hot in South Carolina, so being able to even feel the cooler temperatures that the mountains have to offer made me happy. No matter where my next trip leads me, it has always left me with plenty of memories to look back on. With that being said, keep a look out for where I decide to go to next!
