backyard saga

Hey y'all!!

Another one of my life goals is to visits all the states in the US! I use to get so wrapped up in only wanting to get out the country that I began taking for granted the gems that are right here in my backyard. There are seriously so many amazing beautiful gems right here - The Grand Canyon, Maui, Yellowstone, New York City, Honolulu, New Orleans etc. I knew when deciding to make this one of my life goals that it wouldn't be an overnight project nor would it be a cheap one. But, what I didn't know is that I would be so fortunate to land a gig that really helps me to accomplish this goal! Being able to travel and experience new adventures is amazing on its own, but when it can be done on someone else's dime makes things that much sweeter!

Bolded below are the states that I have already had the chance to venture to as it stands today, March 21st, 2017. As this post continues to grow, I will share some of my most memorable moments during my visit in a separate post and link them back here.
