I work two jobs. Simple as that. One job I get to stay in town and be a normal person, another job has me going east coast to west coast and everywhere inbetween in a matter of days.

Why Spain is Calling Me Back

Plaza Mayor

Ever since going to Spain the summer between the end of my high school years and the start of my college adventure I have been dying to go back. My host family has been asking me to come for a visit for some time now and I have been dying to say,  "Yes, I'll be there next week." Unfortunately, obligations of my new adult life (a.k.a. class and work) have proven difficult to work around.

Yellowstone in a Day

Yellowstone Park sign outside Cooke City, MT 

A couple weekends back I had an opportunity to go to Billings, MT and I couldn't refuse. Since I had an extra free day that weekend I made my way over to Red Lodge and then on to Yellowstone.

Rainy Day Adventures at Long Lake in Clearwater County

Last weekend when I was at the lake attempting my SCUBA open water dives it was sunny, warm, lovely and I got super sun burnt. This weekend for round number two it was windy, cold, and cloudy. Unfortunately, I was not able to complete my dives this weekend.

Road trips are almost unavoidable in life, whether you are moving halfway across the country or taking a mini vacay you will have to drive there and most likely drive there with someone. Just be sure you know what you are getting into and who you are getting into it with.

Things I Have Learned

Cadiz, Spain

As a young, barely 20 something kid still in college and kind of still under her parents thumb I have yet to make the brave leap into the world of doing what I really want.

Spring Break Destinations

Since I am on spring break this week I figured I should write a post about the top spring break destinations for college students.

About

I should probably start off with a little bit about me and my travel plans for the far - ish future.

I'm Niki, a geology student still in college. My dream is to live in Norway or Sweden or Iceland or somewhere interesting one day.

I started traveling way before I can even remember. My parents were avid adventurers and took me to all kinds of places. We also never stayed put in one place too long either. I started life in Michigan, two years later we were in Nevada, then Alaska, Virginia, Washington (state), Minnesota, back to Michigan (same house too!), a different house in Michigan, North Dakota, and I'm not sure if I should count my move to college as a move. So you could say that traveling is apart of who I am. 

I haven't been to too many other countries yet, Spain and Canada. And I have been to 31 out of 50 states. Pretty awesome right?! 

My goal is to post something travelly every week, but I guess we'll see where this goes.

If you could live in a different country one day, where would you choose to go?
