They don’t call Sin City 😈 for nothin 😝 this trip ( and every trip before it) just goes to show that ANYTHING is possible when you’re in Las Vegas 😂

Here are some tips for your next trip (if traveling soon):

🎉 Book reservations well in advance—a lot of the good shows, restaurants and pool parties get sold out
🎉 Have an even girl/guy ratio if you wanna do anything—sorry guys but women are definitely superior here 😘😘
🎉 If you’re wanting to do any type of partying, reach out to a promoter on IG to get free entry. Thanks for hooking us up 🤩
🎉 Check the dress code + rules for all places including restaurants. I learned the hard way that they are VERY strict!
🎉 Don’t be a thirsty bitch because it’s hot as hell there! Hydrate 💧💧 (then you can drown yourself in alcohol 😬)
🎉 Its pretty expensive to eat & drink so expect to spend some money 💰 especially if you like to gamble 😝 but drinks are free while gambling so add $10 into a slot machine and drink up!
🎉 Remember, you can do anything but you can’t do everything! Take in as much or as little as possible and enjoy Vegas for what it is!

Did this help? Reach out to me if you need some suggestions on where to go, what to see etc! This was my 7th time here and won’t be my last 😜😈🎉😻

🎶 In Newwwww Yoorrrrk 🎶

Oh s**t wait, we’re in Chicago 😂

One of many jokes from this past week in Chi Town visiting random girls front the internet 😬

Actually, we’re way more than just random internet friends. For the past 2 + years we’ve all been brought together thanks to to work on our businesses hand in hand ✋🏼 while cheering 📣 each other on.

If Covid taught me ANYTHING—it’s that life is too fu***ng short to wait and good friends are few and far between 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m so lucky 🍀 to have people like this in my life (as well as all my other amazing 🤩 friends) to support me in every crazy adventure I pursue.

Thank you for cultivating a community like this! And if for some reason you’re hesitating on a decision right now (whatever it might be) I say, FU***NG DO IT 🥳🥳

Now, who wants some recommendations for visiting 📍Chicago?! 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️

I'll never forget taking my first European train ride from Amsterdam to Brussels...

I remember pulling up in the train station, excited for a new city in a new country, only to be greeted by men in armored outfits holding big guns.

What a great first impression right? The bombings in Paris had just happened a few months before this, and fast forward to only ONE WEEK after leaving Europe, there were bombings in that exact train station I arrived in.

This realization was scary, to say the least. But an even bigger realization I had was that BAD THINGS HAPPEN EVERYWHERE.

One criticism I used to get all the time was "it's too dangerous to travel", "you'll get kidnapped being a woman and alone", + so many other variations of these comments. I feel like THIS is one of the key factors that hold people back from traveling...but the truth is, bad things happen everywhere.

I was in Orlando when the shootings at Pulse Nightclub happened. A place I used to frequent when I lived there. I left Italy THE DAY they had a massive earthquake. Call me bad luck 😂 or extremely lucky but the point is to show you that anything can happen at any time, anywhere in the world.

Did I EVER let these experiences define my future travels? No. Did I research more, learn to trust my intuition, and be a little more cautious? Yes.

Common sense plays a huge roll in being "safe" while traveling. Don't go out and get drunk, walk down a dark alley and just think--wow, I'm being fearless!

I truly believe the way you're meant to leave this Earth will play out exactly as it will, and I'll never allow fear, self-doubt, and especially, other people's opinions to hold me back.

Do your research, confide in others who have gone and done the things you want to do, TRUST yourself, and most importantly, keep traveling.

So, do you think I'm crazy? 😂😜

Before I take you on the journey overseas--let's talk money 💲

Everyone assumes it's expensive to travel, but have you ever asked someone how much their trip costs? 🤔

In episode 25 of , Leisa talks about opening up and having conversations about money. "When we aren't talking about it, we aren't learning about it" she states.

There is a HUGE stigma around money talk--but we can break this cycle by showing sincere curiosity. You might be surprised 😳 by the answer! Experiences or destinations you thought were out of your reach might very well be attainable. Going back to my previous post—just ask!

So, how did I budget for this trip? I made it my top priority! "If it's important to you, you'll find a way, if it's not, you'll find an excuse."

I saved, I made choices not to participate in certain activities, and I cut out unnecessary BS spending.

People use money as an EXCUSE, yet turn around and blow $100 at Target 🙄

Budgeting takes discipline, research, and consistency--but it is all attainable if you decide it's worth it (and trust me it is!)

Can you guess how much I spent on my entire trip??

This number included all my activities, transportation once I got to Europe (planes, trains, and buses), food + drinks, accommodations, and some shopping.

The answer: $5,000 roughly. What do you think about this number? Too much? Not enough? Completely unattainable?

ACTION STEPS for any type of travel:

✈ The next time someone goes on a trip you're interested in--politely ask them how much they spent.
✈ Do your research and create a budget
✈ Make travel a PRIORITY and save what you can!

Change your relationship and mindset with money and watch how your life changes!

Let me know in the comments what you think about the number I gave you and come at me with any questions you have! I'm here to help! ⬇⬇

✈ First Stop on my Backpacking Trip: Boston, MA

Here I am, about to embark on a month-long journey around Europe, but first, a flight to Boston.

Why does this part of the journey even matter? Well, everyone meet . She and I met through a mutual friend, but only over the phone. We had Facetimed a couple of times but never actually met in real life...

When I found out I was flying through Boston --I decided, WTH, I don't even really know this girl but I'm gonna see if she wants to be my 6-hour tour guide. Not only did I ask her to show me around a city I've never been to, but even asked if she could drive us everywhere 😂

The fears I had:
😓 What if she says no?
😓 What if she's really annoying?
😓 What if we don't get along?
😓 What if I miss my flight?

So many what-ifs running through my head 🤪 How did I overcome this? Well, by just asking. Because really, what's the worst that could happen?

We get so caught up in the fear of rejection or judgment that we end up missing an amazing opportunity.

Luckily I didn't miss out on this one--she picked me up, we drove around to some places I found online, and had a fu***ng blast. And guess what? We're still good friends to this day. 👯‍♂️

Getting out of my comfort zone brought me a friendship that will last a lifetime (it better last that long 😉) + a place to crash when I want to revisit. Since this trip, she's visited me multiple times in Georgia, and I've flown up to explore Salem, MA + Rhode Island with her.

How many times do we make friendships online and never act on them? (not the creepy ones) How many times have you talked yourself out of something because of fear of rejection or the unknown?

ACTION STEP: FU***NG ASK. This goes for anything in your life! Ask for that raise, for that time off, for help, for love, for anything you've been hiding behind--because what's the worst that could happen?

Thank you for being an incredible friend & guide! Has this post helped you? LMK in the comments!

In this series, you will learn how I:

✈️ Backpacked around Europe in the dead of winter (and what I brought)
✈️ Got over my fear of traveling solo
✈️ Was able to constantly push myself out of my comfort zone
✈️ Met new and old friends along the way
✈️ Budgeted for 30 days
✈️ Planned out my itinerary
✈️ Was able to kick fear to the curb
✈️ Maneuvered through different cities with no cell phone service
+ so much more!

Even if you've been following me for a while, my business mission has kind of changed. I still want to make travel more attainable and relatable to the average person (who isn't a blogger) but I want to hone in on the fear/comfort zone aspect.

The top reasons why people don't travel more are: money 💲, time ⌚ and fear 😓 So I want to address all of these!!

This series will consist of real-life experiences that I've had--no fluffed BS! I want to give you REALISTIC practices I used and RAW stories to show you that it's not as scary as it seems. Was the entire trip perfect? Absolutely fu***ng not.

I had one huge meltdown 😭 and a ton of mistakes that happened along the way--and I'm here to share it all with you.

🚨DISCLAIMER🚨 I know this trip isn't practical amidst a pandemic, but all of these stories, practices, and experiences can be exercised in everyday life, and hell, it can help you prep for your next adventure. 😍

So--are you ready to relive this journey with me, learn more about traveling solo and finally flip off your fears?!
