    A Complete Guide & What to Expect in Hostels

    As a solo female traveler, I stayed in hostels in my 20s and revisited them in my 30s. I figure it is long overdue to create an overall guide and what to expect in hostels as a solo female traveler. I answer whether it is safe to stay in one, and why I love staying in hostels so much. Hostels are generally available in most cities around the world. However, for some reason or another, hostels are not as common in the US. Hostels are a great option for accommodation when traveling on a budget and when traveling alone.  Looking for more ideas for solo travel? Here are a few…

    Things to do in Peppa Pig Florida (A Guide)

    There’s a new theme park in Central Florida, the Peppa Pig theme park, conveniently located beside Legoland Florida. Our family has been lucky enough to visit this theme park a year after it opened. It is the first Peppa Pig theme park that opened and is themed to everything Peppa Pig. Even for non-fans of the cartoon, it is still a great place to visit. Here is a list of all the things to do in Peppa Pig Florida.  Rides at Peppa Pig Florida Theme Park  There are rides at Peppa Pig Florida’s theme park even though it is marketed for younger children.

    Things to do in Kenner LA: Rivertown

    Don’t let the facade of the Rivertown Museums and Planetarium fool you: the area is bigger than you think. For history lovers like us, Rivertown delivers. Here’s a list of things to do at Rivertown in Kenner Louisiana.  Less than a 2-mile drive from the car rental place of New Orleans airport is Rivertown. If you want to spend a couple of hours close to the New Orleans airport, Rivertown is an amazing destination to go to.  A downside of Rivertown Museums and Planetarium is the hours of the museums in Rivertown are very limited. The Science Center and the Space Station Exhibition are only open from 11 AM to…

    6 Best Things to do in Irving, TX for a day

    I had no idea that Irving TX is its own city. It was the host city for Southern Travelers Explore, and since it was fairly easy to get to from Dallas, I thought why not? It is a city on its own, with fairly new structures, and is still growing. The convention center in itself is beautiful (and huge), with new and unique hotels popping up all over the place. Here’s a list of things to do in Irving, TX for a day, so you can put the city on your watch list of what to do when you are in the area.  Thank you to Visit Irving for hosting…
