Hiking Switzer Falls in Southern California
If you Google hiking in Southern California, Switzer Falls often makes the top of the list and I can see why! It has been by far one of my favorite hikes in Southern California. It does help I went with 16 golden retrievers! If your animal lover, you can appreciate how stinkin cute it was to go hiking with the dogs. As I’m reading a review online of the falls, and someone posted a review the same day I went complaining that there were too many dogs and that a group of Golden’s took over the falls and got them wet hahahha. I guess if you don’t like dogs, maybe…
Where to Eat in Tempe, AZ
Go to Mill street and you will find a slew of restaurants to pick from and the street is only growing. This is where all the college kids hang out for food and for bars at night. The best part is most of the restaurants are not chains, rather they are unique places to eat and vibes that you could only get in Tempe. I’ve been all around the world and yet to find so many spectacular options and atmosphere as I have on Mill. Pedalhaus I think this is my all time favorite place to go. It helped I used to live a 30 second walk from here. The…
Catalina Island: Adventure & Charm
Hollywood stars? Yachts? Blue waters? Welcome to Catalina Island. Known for the frequent visits of Hollywood’s A-list celebrities in the 20th century, the likes of Marilyn Monroe. Catalina Island today is a tourist destination only an hour ferry ride from LA. The main town of Avalon resembles a more European town with a boardwalk, shops, and restaurants lining the water. It is a quick escape from LA but has such a different and slower pace of life than it’s LA counterpart. It always surprises me that people who are born and raised in California have yet to make a trip out and many people from other states fail to realize…

What to do in Tempe, AZ
If you find yourself heading for sunnier skies, be sure to check out Tempe which boasts over 300 days of sunshine a year! Tempe is a college town caught in the greater metropolitan Phoenix area. It has the best of both worlds of being close to a lot of activities while maintaining a small college town charm. The nearby college of Arizona State University isn’t exactly small – with the most students of any college in the United States at over 70,000. It feels much smaller as a large percentage of the students are online, commute, or live on one of the other three campuses. I had the joy of…
Kauai, Hawaii
If any of you follow my instagram, you will know I just spent some time on the beautiful Hawaiian island of Kauai! If you don’t follow my Instagram yet check out @seapursuit to see all my pictures from the trip! Ah where to even start! Kauai has adventure, beautiful scenery, and amazing beaches! It is a wild green jungle island that holds the Hawaiian spirit. To give a brief background, Kauai is a smallish island (compared to a Caribbean island it seemed rather large) but it is very diverse on each section of the island. The North side of the island is known for the rain, jungle, and pristine natural…

What to do in Maui, Hawaii
Before I had a lot of traveling under my belt, Hawaii was #1 on my bucket list. Naturally, I convinced my parents to go when I was 18. Being on the west coast it is a pretty short flight. Hawaii as you can imagine did not disappoint! If you want luxury combined with adventure and relaxation, Hawaii is the place for you! There is so much more to do than just lay on the beach all week. We picked Maui because it wasn’t as crowded as Honolulu but it still had a lot to do and that Hawaii charm. Activities Horseback Riding I did a horseback riding tour with my…

Las Vegas, Nevada
Las Vegas is an absolute must in your 20’s!! I was spoiled in college because fraternity’s would have their formals in Vegas every semester. That meant I got a lot of Vegas trips by the time I graduated at 22! Even after graduation, my friends and I make a point to go back once or twice a year. I’m still only a 4 hour drive so Vegas is easy. For those who have somehow escaped reality and every pop culture reference and don’t know what Vegas is all about, I will enlighten you. The Strip The strip is built of giant hotels and when I say giant I mean you…
Best Camping Spots in Oregon
One of my favorite activities is camping because I love the outdoors and being in nature. It allows for personal time away from cell phones and TVs. The scenery is normally beautiful with bright shooting stars at night. I love hiking, biking, kayaking, swimming, card games, campfires, hot dogs, smores, and all the activities and food that come along with camping. Oregon is the perfect setting for camping. Oregon and the outdoors go hand in hand. Think gorgeous coastlines, tall pine trees, and deep blue lakes. Without further ado, here are my favorite camping spots: Nehalem Bay State Park Nehalem Bay is located on the Oregon Coast near Manzanita, Oregon.…
5 Reasons Why You Should Go Skydiving
The top of my bucket list since I turned 18 was to skydive! My freshman year of college the opportunity presented itself and I jumped at the chance go. I have always been an adrenaline junkie so skydiving was right up my alley. Here is why you should go skydiving: 1. It is fun The most obvious reason to go but it is an absolute blast. You ride up in a small plane and you get strapped to the skydiving instructor. The pilot kind of tilts you out of the plane and you spend the first 30 or so seconds in freefall. This is the exhilarating part of skydiving! I…
