So this trip, I am going to try to video blog the whole adventure. 
My planned stops and points of interest include:
:: NEW ORLEANS :: HOUSTON :: TUCSON :: GRAND CANYON :: LAS VEGAS ::  (MAYBE) L.A. :: BIG SUR :: SAN FRANCISCO :: PORTLAND :: SEATTLE ::
Videos should get more exciting when I am on the road, but this is going to be fun! I would love if you had any questions you would like me to answer along the way as well! Things should get interesting. 

Lady and the Trip: Boston

My two hour flight later, I arrive in Boston, MA.

I grab my luggage and wait for my friend Rachel to pick me up at the airport.

We über back to her place and drop our bags and head into the brick lined city.

Lady and the Trip: Washington, D.C.

After a 13 hour over night bus ride on the Megabus, I arrived at Union Square.

With roughly only 3 hours of solid sleep, I grabbed my luggage and dragged it through the city to my hostel. My first American Hostel! I dropped off my luggage and trekked right back into town.

Hello Washington D.C.! You beautiful city.

Lady and the Trip: Atlanta.

August 7, 2015. 6:00 AM

I set out alone, leaving on a Megabus, on a four city adventure.

Atlanta - > Washington D.C. -> Boston -> New York City

These are the pictures that I captured during my travels.

I hope you enjoy them.

FIRST STOP = ATLANTA, GA.

Lets Get Ready to Travel!

Five more days left until I leave for my solo road trip up the East Coast and I have been getting everything together of things I need for my trip and this is my list:

• Backpack
• Sketch/Journal Book
• Glasses
• Sunscreen
• Lotion
• Hand Sanitizer
• Chapstick
• Water & snacks
• Downy de-wrinkle spray (a life saver when living out of a suitcase)
• Headphones
• A tote bag for shopping (so you don't have to carry a bunch of plastic bags!)

My most important and essential item:

• MACE! : As a solo traveling woman, you need to be careful and protect yourself against anything. Essential essential essential!

• Olloclip Lenses : I do not plan to bring my DSLR for the sake of traveling light. This way I can capture all my memories and still be impressed with my photos. 

• Bluetooth Folding Keyboard : Also, to travel light I do not want to bring my laptop, but I still want to blog to share everything I do with you! I strongly dislike typing paragraphs upon paragraphs with my thumbs, because I love the feeling of laptop typing. This foldable keyboard connects with my iPhone through bluetooth and lets me get that laptop feeling and further extend the usefulness of my phone.

• Eye Masks & Earplugs  : Essential to get some sleep on the megabus and in the hostels. Or just for the occasional necessary nap time.

• iPhone Tripod and Shutter Release Remote : I will be by myself, and want pictures of myself in front of beautiful sceneries without taking those long- armed 'selfie' pictures. The tripod lets me set my iPhone up just about anywhere with its magnetic wrap around legs, and the shutter release remote helps me not look like a weirdo running back and forth to my phone to take the picture.

I will be hitting the road soon! Can't wait to take this journey together!

Atlanta, Washington, NY.. OH MY

Its that time again! 

To celebrate my one year anniversary from that time I traveled to Europe by myself, I decided I needed to embark on another solo journey. August 7-17th I will be traveling from Orlando to Atlanta, Washington D.C. and New York City over a ten day period. I will be traveling via Megabus and staying at friends' houses and hostels along the way. I can't wait to leave and share everything I encounter with you! 

Two Hostels I will be staying at:
