Brasstown Bald: Hiking Up Georgia’s Highest Peak
Brasstown Bald has been sitting on my list of must-do hikes for months now, and I figured it was finally time to be able to cross it off. I knew that with it being the highest peak in Georgia, the view would not disappoint, which is why it would be worth the 2-hour drive to get there from Kennesaw. I also decided I wanted to be able to watch the sunset from the mountain, so we left Kennesaw at around 5 pm in order to be at the top before the sun setting at 7:45 pm. The Brasstown Bald Hike: When you first discover that the hike is only 0.6…

The Van Gogh Immersive Experience: A Guide
My most recent experience and newest recommendation is the Van Gogh Immersive Experience that has been popping up around the country. This exhibit is the latest way to showcase art, with the main event being a giant room where the walls are covered in projections in order to make you feel like part of the painting. After learning that it was coming to Atlanta, I immediately bought tickets. Not really knowing what to expect, I was a little worried that the tickets I had just paid for were not going to be worth it. Is sitting in a room full of projectors really going to be all that great? Well,…

The Time I Got Into The Atlanta Super Bowl For Free
In 2019, I was a freshman at Kennesaw State University near Atlanta. This was the same year that the Super Bowl happened to be coming to Georgia. While I thought this was a super neat coincidence and knew I would enjoy the experience if I could go, I had no intention of spending that much money on a ticket. Like I said, I was a college freshman. If I had thousands of dollars laying around that I could use on a Super Bowl ticket, I would not have had to take out a loan for school. However, I did end up getting to go to the Super Bowl for free,…

How I Spent A Weekend in Memphis, Tennessee
One night at around 10 pm, my roommate and I were sitting around our dining room table talking about our work schedules when we realized we both had the next few days off. One of us suggested we spontaneously go on a little trip, and since I had a friend living in Memphis, I figured that a weekend in Memphis, Tennessee, would be a pretty good choice. Neither of us had been to Memphis before or really given it much thought, but a free place to stay is a free place to stay. I quickly texted my friend to ask if he’d be okay with us staying with him on…

4 Cheap Things To Do In New York City
New York City can be a pretty expensive trip. Depending on where you are coming from and how much you like to spend on your trips, you might already be spending more than you would like to just to get there and have a place to lay your head at night. Thankfully, New York has plenty of things to do when you get tired of opening your wallet. These are my favorite three cheap things to do in New York City. 1. Ride The Staten Island Ferry And See The Statue Of Liberty If this is your first trip to the Big Apple, then I assume you will want to…

How Not To Hike Stone Mountain
Stone Mountain located in Atlanta, Georgia is a famous mountain with a great view (if you can make it to the top). I had always heard it was especially beautiful if you could wake up early enough to reach the peak by sunrise. After hearing about it, I really wanted to try it out. After all, I sure do love my Georgia hikes. However, I am the complete opposite of a morning person, and it was also difficult to find someone who would agree to do such an early hike on a random day. Therefore, it took me a very long time to finally make the journey. Then I had…

16 Dollars For a Drink and Some New York Trauma
Recently I went on a trip to New York City with my boyfriend. I was beyond excited as I had been to New York before with my high school and had fallen in love with the city at first sight. However, most people know that New York is not a walk on the beach. It can easily be one of the most chaotic vacations you will ever take. It almost does not feel right to even call a trip to NYC a “vacation” because I do not think that there is ever a moment where you are truly relaxed. This is honestly one of the reasons I love it so…
