Bali Bliss: Unique Things To Do In Ubud
Ubud, just an hour away from the airport in Bali, is most people’s favorite place to base themselves on a trip to Bali. However, it can be very easy to heed the call of “transport?” and get caught up in leaving Ubud every day. While, I highly recommend seeing the sights around Ubud, you’re missing out if you don’t take at least a few days to explore this cultural heart of Bali. Spending time in Ubud instead of doing a tour every day is also a great way to make sure you come back from your vacation rested and relaxed rather than feeling like you spent every day in a…

Where To Travel In The USA Based On Your Personality Type
If you’ve never been to the USA, deciding exactly where in the United States to travel to is overwhelming. So, here are my recommendations on where to travel based on your personality type: 1. The Surfer For surfers and beach lovers, you absolutely must go to Maui, Hawaii. Maui has some of the most gorgeous beaches in the world. The water is warm year round, and the island is small enough that it’s easy to get to any beach in a short amount of time. Maui is also one of the top destinations for windsurfing and kite boarding. If you go from November-May, there’s a great chance you will also get to see…

Oregon Waterfall Hikes: Mosier Creek Falls and Mosier Plateau
I hiked Mosier Creek Falls in the spring. There was nothing like climbing above the rim of Mosier Creek Gorge while wildflowers surrounded my every step. As far as Oregon waterfall hikes go, this is an easy one with stunning views the entire way. This is a great hike to do if you’re on the way out to Rowena Crest to see the wildflowers there. The hike to the two-tiered waterfall is only 1/2 mile, but I highly recommend continuing on the rest of the hike which takes you to Mosier Plateau. Mosier Creek Falls is about 100 feet tall, and in the summer, it’s even possible to swim in…

Washington Hikes: The Columbia Gorge Labyrinth Has It All
The Labyrinth hike, in the Columbia Gorge, is one of my absolute favorite Washington hikes. On this hike, in the Catherine Creek area, you get it all. A few waterfalls, a stunning view of the Columbia Gorge and Mt. Hood, basalt outcroppings, and wildflowers in the Spring. Plus, the crowds are smaller than you will find at the neighboring Coyote Wall hike. The Labyrinth is the name for the area between Coyote Walland the Rowland Basin. You can even take your dog on this hike! Note that dogs must be on a leash from December 1st to June 30th. The only downsides to this hike is there is a lot of poison…
