Hey y’all my name is Laurie Garner and I am so excited to be starting this journey!
This blog spurred from a random lunch conversation one day about an upcoming trip. I am all about planning new vacations and someone suggested that I take that love of travel and put it out there for others. Why I had never thought of this? Who knows?
I am from the good ‘ole south and while I love it here, there is so much out there to see and experience. I also love that not all trips have to be over the top productions. Day trips can be just as soul calming as extended stays; sometimes you just need to get away even if you only have one day. I have a very jampacked life as a wife and CFO. Things can get a little heavy and exploring new places is my happy time. Fitting travel into my life doesn’t always allow for extensive trips, good thing there is lots to do close to home.
We’re going to get started with baby steps but I’d love to hear any feedback or comments! Eventually I’d like to incorporate travel planning for others into this adventure. But for now, travel posts is the goal.
There are a TON of blogs out there where the writers are inspired to travel in a minimalist style and make use of hostels for example. They budget travel very well. That is just not me. However, I do research extensively and don’t throw caution to the wind, I make sure that I save enough to travel that I can do so in the manner that I would like. Staying somewhere that I don’t feel like is clean is just going to ruin the experience for me. I also have a tendency to pack as much as I could possibly want if I was going to quit my job and never come home again. (Much to the chagrin of my husband that has to load and unload it all.)
That’s enough about me.
Stay tuned for the first actual travel post coming soon!
