The Ultimate Solo Traveler's Guide To Austin

Back in March when I decided to make a huge life change to quit my job as a wedding director to pursue From The Roots full time, I roughly mapped out possible places that I thought would be cool to put new roots down - Austin being top of the list!

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip in a Camper Van Part 1

The Pacific Coast Highway road trip has been on my bucket list for quite some time! The inner hippie in me has always wanted to rent a camper van (or live in one) and travel down Highway 1 and see what the beautiful scenic route had to offer me.
