Welcome to My Blog

Hi there, thanks for stopping by!
Let me start with how flipping excited I am to start blogging my trips. I put so much into planning trips for my family, and I would love to share my process and things I learn along the way with anyone interested. I have wanted to do this for years, but never sat down and made it happen. 2025 is the year! Since our last family trip was to Ireland/Scotland in October of 2024, that is where I will begin. I plan to document some past trips I have taken, but will do that a little at a time, and mainly focus on documenting new adventures first.
If I had to explain my travel style it would be research, research, research, and then explore it alllllll!!! I am not interested in staying in 5 star hotels and having spa days. I want to do something I have never done before, see new sites, eat good food, and have a hot shower, and cozy bed at the end of the day --just so you know what you're getting into.
I am trying to figure out a good flow for posting information, and it may take me a little bit to get it down. As of right now, this is going to be the set-up of this website: the blog page will be dedicated to sharing the process I go through planning the trip, where we are going to stay, activities planned, etc. The itinerary page will have the pretty itinerary I used for my trip and an editable copy you can use for your travels that will include an expense sheet and packing list. Additionally, there will be a link to an Instagram page, randomtravelblogoninsta, I made especially for sharing pictures and hopefully real time videos on my stories when I travel. In the future I hope to have a space I can let others share stories about their travel and get feedback on my trips because I am constantly learning new things that are so helpful.
