A few weeks ago I headed up to Orlando with my Mom to visit Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. It’s a short two and a half hour ride up the turnpike. We spent our first day over at Islands of Adventure. We went into the park an hour before it opened to check out the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. If you stay at a Universal Studios Resort, you have that opportunity! Trust me, its totally worth it. The lines were so…
If you know me, you know that I have an undying love for all things Harry Potter. (I mean, I do have the Deathly Hallows tattooed on my arm in only a way a true fan could tell…). I am a diehard fan, obsessed with the fantasy world.

It was by far the best experience I’ve ever had in my life… With that being said, I was ready to leave and start a new adventure (which I will be doing in a few short weeks in Thailand (which is also why I have been MIA)!).

Here we go… Travel Apps I Love Skyscanner Cheap flights are my best friend. I LOVE Skyscanner because it searches a ton of sites for literally the cheapest flights I’ve ever found. I’m usually booking one way tickets before I move somewhere new (to live, travel and…
A few weeks ago my Mom and I spent the morning paddleboarding in Boynton Beach, Fl. I have always wanted to try it and my Mom bought a Groupon for us to do so for my birthday. Unfortunately the weather in South Florida in July and August is extremely unpredictable. The forecast is almost never correct so its hard to plan.
