The downside of living in Florida is that it takes more for a tropical vacation destination to impress us. We live where a good chunk of people that live in the Midwest and east coast go for vacations, so we’ve gotten used to paradise. Luckily I’m really good at planning vacations, so our trip to @amanyara_resort in the Turks and Caicos exceeded all expectations we had! If I had to choose my top three tropical vacation destinations so far I’d have to go with: 1. The Maldives
2. Amanyara Turks and Caicos
3. The Big Island of Hawaii @fshualalai
What’s your favorite tropical vacation destination?

For as much as I don’t like cold weather or winter, I really do miss hiking in the mountains. Sweating my ass off hiking with no elevation gain in Florida isn’t nearly as gratifying. And while Florida is full of incredible places and I love living here there isn’t a much better feeling than conquering a mountain or challenging hiking trail then looking down from the top to actually see what you accomplished. It may be time to head out west again!

When you hike 4 miles and gain over 2100 ft of elevation to see a pristine alpine lake but you get to the top and it’s frozen and snowed over so there is nothing but pine trees and snow for as far as the eye can see. This is the top of Red Pine Lake trail near Salt Lake City. I did this hike at the beginning of April thinking I’d have a perfect view of the crystal clear lake, but it’s still pretty cold at 10,000 ft in April. I’m pretty sure I experienced all four seasons on this tough hike, but I’d do it again in a heartbeat. :
Where has been your favorite place to hike that isn’t inside a national park?

I may have missed the focus on this one, but I captured the moment perfectly.
:
Everyone wants that picture in Rome standing or sitting on the wall with the colosseum in the background. I’d encourage you to walk around a bit to find unique angles where the light may be even better than the spot you thought you wanted to shoot. At first I was bummed that the focus on this photo wasn’t perfect, I didn’t think I was going to post it, but I kept coming back to it and I actually love it even though the focus isn’t perfect. :

People seem to be very surprised when I talk about everything there is to do in Las Vegas that isn’t drinking and gambling. Some of the best national parks are less than 4 hours away and there is some terrific hiking even closer than that. If you get off the strip and go towards downtown Vegas or “old Vegas” you find places like the neon museum which serves as a graveyard for the signs from Vegas’s past or the container park that is home to small boutiques and restaurants in repurposed shipping containers where you’ll find live music a few days each week. Getting out of the main tourist part of a city will lead you to all kinds of cool hidden gems!

When we lived out in Las Vegas for a few months in 2018 we hiked almost every weekend and sometimes multiple times per week. Since being back in Florida I think we have only gone twice. This year I want to explore more of Florida’s wildside and try to visit as many of @fl.stateparks as we can. I know @pawsitivelygrace will appreciate this goal! :
Have you been to any Florida State Parks that you’ve loved?

One of the coolest experiences we had in 2019 was walking through the glacier at Jungfraujoch. If you’re planning a trip to Switzerland this is one thing you definitely don’t want to miss!

The new year comes with new goals. Last month I attempted to double my blog traffic from November, and while I didn’t quite achieve that goal I made some huge strides towards it growing from just 2,672 sessions to 4,339 and nearly eclipsed the 10,000 page views threshold. My big goal for the blog this year is to reach 50,000 monthly sessions by December. I also fell off in my Instagram posting consistency and would like to get back in the rhythm of posting 5 days per week, which mean I need to get my butt out creating more often!

What are your biggest goals for 2020?

Future’s so bright we gotta wear shades
:
This year has been really exciting for both me and Mallory! I listed a second property on Airbnb and got super host, worked with some amazing brands both on and off Instagram, and really developed my skills behind the camera and in post processing. I also completely rebuilt and revamped my blog to make it more user friendly and SEO finally made sense, so I hope to continue the momentum into 2020!
:
Mallory graduated with her Doctorate of Occupational Therapy, made it to the semifinals of Ms. Health and Fitness, and got her Crossfit level 1. You can expect big things from @barbells_n_bows21 in 2020!
:
What accomplishment are you most proud of from the past year??
