A Weekend In The Mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee

Posted on July 20, 2020October 21, 2021 by travelintara

Surely I’m not the only stir crazy one out there that would literally get on a flight going ANYWHERE at this point?! After our Canada trip got cancelled (insert heartbroken tears here), I told Dalton that I still wanted to go *somewhere*. I needed something fun to look forward to, a get away from the…

Tips for Booking & Packing for Trips

Posted on June 22, 2020March 15, 2021 by travelintara

Now, I’m going to start off by saying I am NOT a professional traveler! My mom used to book everything for me until I learned how to do it myself. The idea of buying my own flight terrified me – all I could think about was doing something wrong. But don’t let that be the…

Guide: Hiking to Rio Celeste

Posted on May 20, 2020March 15, 2021 by travelintara

So, obviously nobody is going to Costa Rica right now (their borders are currently closed to everyone but citizens until June 15th due to Covid-19, but that’s always subject to change!) But if you’re like me, you like to plan ahead! So, if you’re going to Costa Rica eventually and want to know everything you need…

Covid-19, I’m over you

Posted on April 26, 2020March 15, 2021 by travelintara

I’m late with a blog post this month because quite honestly, I didn’t know what to write… Sure, I have lots of ideas…packing tips, tips for how to book your own trips, etc. But I have to be honest; Covid-19 has put me into a “slump”. Trust me, I’m tired of reading and hearing about…

The Best Couple’s Weekend to Nashville, Tennessee

Posted on March 22, 2020October 21, 2021 by travelintara

Welcome to music city! Home of bachelorette/bachelor parties, 21st birthday parties, and more. We went about 2 weeks ago with 3 other couples for a weekend getaway and had a great time! I am in no way a Nashville “pro” (this is only the 2nd time I’ve ever been!) but will share what we did if you’re…

A Week Long Adventure in Tamarindo, Costa Rica

Posted on February 22, 2020October 21, 2021 by travelintara

“Pura vida” If you’ve ever been to Costa Rica, you’ll hear this phrase hundreds of times in one day. It means “pure life” in Spanish, but the people of this beautiful country use it in multiple ways; to say hello, goodbye, thank you, you’re welcome…any way you want basically! I had the BEST time in…

So you want to learn to scuba dive…

Posted on January 18, 2020January 18, 2020 by travelintara

See that whale shark in the picture? That’s the largest species of fish in the ocean. What would you say if I told you that you can see it in person, too? This summer will be 9 years I’ve been a certified diver, though I didn’t really fall in love with it until about 5…

What is on my Bucket List?

Posted on December 6, 2019October 21, 2021 by travelintara

Everyone has a “bucket list”…what’s yours? It can be activities, places, whatever you want! I’m a firm believer that everyone should step out of their comfort zones to experience new things. I saw a quote on Facebook the other day that said, “You only live once, and you can always make more money, but not…

Let’s go diving in Key Largo, Florida

Posted on September 30, 2019October 21, 2021 by travelintara

What would you do if a week before your trip to the Florida Keys, this was on the radar, and hurricane experts were uncertain which direction it was going to go? Well, if you’re me, you cross your fingers and hope & pray it doesn’t ruin your weekend of scuba diving, because no matter what,…
