It’s not about travel, it’s about LIVING

Writer: Tawney

Part of me wishes I could say Kayla and I have been off roaming South Africa or Alaska, but that’s not the case. We’ve been taking on all life has to offer, trying to squeeze the good out of the not so good. It’s always something, you know? Health, jobs, money, relationship issues… Waiting for all of those things to be perfect could result in a serious waste of time. With that said, it’s not about just accepting “life is tough” it’s about the way we’re LIVING and what’s holding our sense of importance. Read more

Low Country LLYOV

writer: Kayla

I regularly visit my home town to enjoy it’s many splendors and remind myself of how relaxing life can be. Sipping home-made sweet tea as I sit on the dock with my feet dangling in the salty water, I wonder if it’s possible for an outsider to enjoy this way of life. As the afternoon thunderstorms roll in over the inter-coastal waterways I ponder if the humidity and mosquitoes are just a barrier to keep the tourists from deciding to move in. Read more

Moving to your dream destination

Writer: Catie Kruse

Moving. Woof.

When this word crosses your informative lips, others respond with excitement, or curiosity. What the true response entails: stress, sweat and struggle. I, recently, picked up my entire life–born, raised and rooted in Nebraska for the last amazing 24 years—and re-settled it in Southern California. The façade of moving some where “exotic” in my mind, quickly faded as the planning process began to take place. Read more

Vegas for all your bachelorette needs

Writer: Tawney B

I just returned from a few days in Vegas for a dear friends bachelorette party. I haven’t been to Vegas in a couple of years. To be honest, it’s not my cup of tea or I guess I should say bucket of pina colada. I’m happy to report I had a BLAST and of course had to share a few ideas for making the most of this landlocked cruise ship. Read more

How I Fell In LLYOV With Vence

Writer: Kayla

I have just come home from a trip that can best be described as “magical”. Upon planning my trip to the Côte d’Azur I assumed that most of my days would be filled with lounging on pebble beaches or hopefully a new friend’s yacht. When I arrived in Cannes I instantly felt that horrible instinctive feeling; “I’ve GOT to get OUT of here!”. This feeling often rumbles at the sight of too many tourists, over crowded beaches, and worst of all, over priced and mediocre food. Read more

Flight Booking: Kayla’s Travel Secrets

Writer: Kayla

Unless you have a Black American Express Card you are likely going to spend a great deal of time prowling the web and speaking with Airline employees or the machines that pretend to be people (hit 0 and you eventually get someone on the line…sometimes).
