My name is Halee. I was never one of those kids who had a key chain with my name on it on whenever I would go on family vacations with my parents. My childhood was very blessed in the nature of travel. It consisted of constant visits to Florida (sometimes 3-4 times a year), traveling up and down the east coast multiple times, flying to California twice and even embarking on an amazing trip to Alaska. Travel is very near and dear to my heart.
As I grew older, my passion for travel grew with it. I ended up going to school for hospitality and have embarked on many careers in hospitality including my current position as a Hotel Sales Contractor. I have also made it a goal to raise my own daughter with an open heart and mind by traveling as much as I can with her as well.
I decided to embark on this blog for many reasons. I love sharing adventures and stories that I hope inspire others to try something. My goal is to showcase travel for all types of people. I’m aware that not everyone can afford to fly to London or even do a road trip that is 1,000 miles away. This blog will show you the art of a staycation for the family to adult adventures on sandy beaches.
Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you find something that you like.
Just remember when you do anything, do it with a flair!
