Anyone who knows me or follows me on Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram, knows that there are a couple things that I have a weakness for – alright, maybe a few more than that after you count sunsets, Chuck Taylors, and girls who wear frayed jeans with plaid road trips. However, a rather new weakness is [...]

#15: Eat a Philly cheesesteak….in Philly. As I marked that off my list last weekend, I crossed the halfway point of my “30 at 30″ list, an evolving list that I kicked off on my birthday to do at least 30 new things over the next year. Fat and happy (Having scarfed down my sandwich [...]

We are not on earth anymore. I couldn’t help but say that upon arriving to Lake Powell and throughout the duration of the weekend. On assignment with Travel Mindset and hosted by Lake Powell, this was a destination that I had traveled in the vicinity above numerous times since both Vegas and Phoenix aren’t too [...]

Monday I returned from a British Columbia road trip, face planting onto my bed, feeling nearly crippled by anxiety, rather than being relieved to be home. I took several big breaths, attempting to re-gain normal breathing, while mentally cycling through the next 15 days – what I consider one of the most important personal and work [...]

“Do you need another barf bag?” Whip, my co-pilot, asked me as we came out of another maneuver and after I had filled up one already. That’s right, my co-pilot, Whip. And for the intents and purposes of this blog post, you can call me, “Stormy.” Stormy being the pilot name I was given before [...]

I was lying flat down on my apartment floor, paralyzed with fear and pain, beating my arms on the floor, crying, and screaming aloud about why this had happened. A routine Monday morning had been interrupted by a call from my aunt, telling me that my mom had unexpectedly passed away. You see my mom had a [...]

Quick, name five national parks in America not named the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, or Yellowstone. What’d you come up with? Zion? Maybe Central Park? That last one was a test, as New York City’s Central Park isn’t exactly a national park. You passed. The fact is that while many people may be familiar with America’s [...]

As a child, I lived my life through stories, and more specifically, what I considered at that time, daring, dangerous, and defiant stories, like those that confronted MacGyver. After our family sat down to watch it together every Monday night, I would excuse myself from the living room, exit through the hallway door, and enter into [...]

“We’re just going to start walking, followed by a full on sprint, and before you know it, you’ll be kicking your legs against the air, 3,000 feet above the ground.” I feel like that’s probably how a lot of Wilbur and Orville Wright’s conversations began just moments before attempting any number of their flights. That’s probably [...]

“His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy.” Yes, that is in fact the beginning to Eminem’s Lose Yourself. However, it’s also my reaction to anything that even remotely begins to raise my adrenaline, such as walking through the Tenderloin district of San Francisco after midnight, traveling to a country that I don’t speak [...]
