A Weekend in California

February 24, 2026February 24, 2026 / Kelly / Leave a comment

'True perfection has to be imperfect.'-Noel Gallagher I had already bought my ticket to see Oasis at Wembley when they announced their North American dates and none of them were near me. As I have flown to England twice to see them (well, the first was Liam but close enough), I was not opposed to … Continue reading A Weekend in California

A European Summer: Planning

September 23, 2025September 22, 2025 / Kelly / 3 Comments

'The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.' – Saint Augustine For my summer travel plans, I knew I needed to be in London for Oasis and outside of that, I could do anything. My original plan was to road trip around the Faroe Islands for a week, … Continue reading A European Summer: Planning

Adventures in Ecuador: Cotopaxi National Park

August 21, 2025August 21, 2025 / Kelly / 2 Comments

'It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves'-Sir Edmund Hillary One of the main reasons I decided to add a few days in Quito onto my trip is I wanted to visit Cotopaxi. Terra Sur not only made it happen but exceeded what I could have imagined. While I am sure there are lots … Continue reading Adventures in Ecuador: Cotopaxi National Park

a tiny gusbug and a kitchen rug he peed all over…I miss it everyday. @magnolia can you please reissue @target!?! My favorite place… As I’ve gotten older, the more I care about how I live my life on my terms and not what others think. Texas State Bison Herd call @caprockcanyonsstatepark home. Coming soon…all about my summer road trip and a life unexpected. I do not remember a time that I wasn’t anxious, in big ways and small, but I thought I was crazy and crazy meant rubber rooms and surrounded by white walls. Eventually, it led to a breakdown at 17, a month after I graduated high school. Over time, I embraced that I had chronic generalized anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. I am not ashamed and had gradually mentioned it to students. Then, about 10 years ago, a student said that they had been struggling with depression and that I seemed okay, maybe they would too. I realized how big one small voice could be and then, I became an open book. I’ve heard from students (and followers) how my openness made them feel less alone and that’s all we can ask of someone…to be seen. After my New Years trip to Caprock Canyon State Park, I stopped @officialcadillacranch and saw the most beautiful sunset. Added bonus was the @bucees iced coffee I was drinking (do the southern pecan syrup). I see why George Strait was trying to make it to Amarillo! Read about my trip on the blog! Link in bio @caprockcanyonsstatepark is one of my favorite places in Texas! A few hours northeast of @discoverodessa, it is worth the drive. All about my hikes and close encounters with wildlife on the blog now! So excited to see @thechicks next week on their 20th Anniversary Tour for Taking the Long Way Tour. One of my all time favorite albums and Long Way Around is my personal anthem. I’m beyond stoked to hear Favorite Year (fav song on the album) for the first time live!
