I love all sorts of travel! I can backpack in 5 dollar a night hostels; I can spend 300 dollars a night on a luxury hotel/resort. I adore Disney and love mountains. I like it all. In one word, why do you travel? Perspective. What is your #1 Bucket List experience? Roadtrip across Europe and into Africa. Okay, I’m an extraordinary geographically challenged individual so I’m going to type this out the way it works in my head, not in reality. Start somewhere in Western Europe, like, Ireland. Travel down through England, somehow make it to Spain, then Morocco, and somehow hit Scotland, Italy, Greece, and Malta, then Africa in no particular order. Clearly this is 100% doable. What is your biggest travel pet peeve? Toss up between being last to board or middle seat on an airplane. What is the one "luxury" item that you always bring with you? Makeup (though, I consider it a necessity ;)) Everyone always asks...where is your favorite place you have been? Why? Salisbury, England. About 5 miles from Stonehenge, this is a charming English countryside town with quaint shops, a market, and a cathedral constructed in the 1200’s with spires upon spires extending up into the azure sky. The winding cobblestone roads and little alleyways are filled with candle-lit pubs where there are more than a few dimly lit corners to hideaway over a romantic dinner. When we visited the air was crisp and the breeze was blustery yet very welcomed. Though it is difficult, I would have to say this is my favorite place I’ve been, as it filled me with a sense of wonder and tranquility that has yet to be surpassed. Is there anywhere that you have absolutely hated or would never go back to? Why? Tayrona, Colombia. APPARENTLY, a stunning crystal clear snorkeler’s paradise with a bunch of ALLEGED typical paradise bullshit. Let me explain -- It was like, 40 US dollars per person to get in, plus a 10 mile trek in 90 degree heat, up hills, and down into stagnant, moist, humid, and creamy valleys where you will wish for death. To top your trip off, there is the insurmountable disappointment and despair when you get about 20 feet away, only to find out that you have to IMMEDIATELY turn around because the last bus to your hostel is leaving in 2 hours. F**k. Tayrona. What is your favorite mode of transport? Plane. Fast. AC. Guaranteed seat. Toilet. Also, I enjoy airports. What has traveling taught you? This could go on for 20 pages but simply put it has taught me that happiness is often a choice; the things you take for granted someone else is praying for. Any advice for the newbies or people thinking about backpacking for the first time? Just go. Go to Peru, go to NYC, go to a restaurant you’ve never been to before. You don’t have to go far to see or do extraordinary things. If something is important you will find a way. If not, you will find an excuse. So, where will your next journey be? No idea! A journey to me doesn’t have to be to a far place, it just has to be a vibrant adventure. And oh, darling, those can happen just about anywhere. Have any other questions for Sarah? Comment below!
