This colorful hostel offers a fantastic location in Kampala, Uganda’s capitol, with affordable prices, great food, and a super fun atmosphere that makes it easy to meet fellow travelers and locals alike.

I’ve found another incredible tour company that I want to shout about from the rooftops! BornWild offers once-in-a-lifetime itineraries and the best part is each ticket sold supports wildlife conservation efforts around the world. Unique adventures plus wildlife conservation…does it get much better than that? I’m thrilled to have connected with Kate, the founder of […]
Does spending an afternoon on the lake swimming, kayaking, or fishing sound like a wonderful day? If you answered yes, then I’ve got an Indiana State Park you’ll love. Chain O’Lakes gets its name for the 13 natural lakes within the park property, 9 of which are connected by small tributaries. You can kayak or […]
You could claim that “Indiana” is basically synonymous with “farming” and I wouldn’t really debate you. Of course, there is so much more to this state than just farms, but as a born and raised Hoosier* I can assure you there are an abundance of farms to choose from which you literally cannot miss if […]

I came across Raw Elements sunscreen […]

When restaurants serving primarily meat-based dishes do offer vegan options, there are usually only a handful to choose from and sometimes it feels like an afterthought. That’s why I am so excited about The […]
I found out about the ReDo Backpackers Hostel and Pub through Workaway when I was looking for a cool opportunity to spend a couple weeks in South Korea. When I came across Damien’s project (the founder of ReDo) I knew it was one I wanted to be involved with. This backpackers hostel is located on […]
