Hey y’all, I’m Sarah.

I’m a Nashville-based blogger, finance nerd, and cappuccino addict writing about travel, money, life, and trying to keep it all balanced.

this is my adventure story.

And I’m glad you are here to be a part of it.

“Parked here cause I’m with the band” | The other US music city I want to get back to in 2019 🎼 Last time I was in Austin I discovered @stumptowncoffee at a coffee shop and my life has not been the same since ☕️ Who is serving Stumptown in Nashville? (On second thought it’s probably better that I don’t know... ) #coffeeaddict 🤗 . . . . . #stumptowncoffee #austintexas #keepaustinweird #withtheband #traveltbt #travelthrowback #tbt #stumptown #austin #nashville #musiccity #flashbackfriday #coffeenerd #happyfriday #coffeeandmusic #coffeeshopvibes #musicianphotography #artsyshot #artphotography #streetphotography #austinviews #austinstreetart #artsyaustin #austintxlife #nashvilletoaustin #nashvilleblogger #travelbloggervibes #travelfriday
One of two US cities I’m itching to get back to visit again in 2019 ✈️(Also, was the street leaning or was I leaning when I took this pic? Honestly, it’s the French Quarter... so probably a bit of both) 😉🥂 . . . . . #neworleans #frenchquarter #gardendistrict #nolaarchitecture #nolalife #nolasummer #favoritecities #gardendistrictnola #hotandhumid #louisianatravel #frenchquarternola #foodandfun #visitnola #travelbloggervibes #ustravel #americantravel #travelusa #travelwishlist #letsgoback #bestcities #tripplanning #nashvilleblogger #nolaphotography #sarahgoing #nolaphoto #getoutthere #2019travel #travel2019
Lets talk about hostels | I get asked about hostels quite a bit, and since I’m from the southern U.S., the primary question I get asked is whether or not I’m too old to stay in a hostel at this point 😂 (stay tuned for what I’m sure will be an entertaining post answering that question 😉) BUT FIRST, I decided to tackle a *slightly* more practical question... what should you bring with you to stay in a hostel? Check the #linkinbio for 5 items that will improve your hostel experience anywhere in the world ✈️ . . . Now, what I really want to know is what questions YOU have about staying in hostels? What should I write about hostels next?

Do we think that featuring my toes on the brand new home page of the blog sporting the 4-year old target sandals is a design fail or no?

So I went a little overboard on the March budget... and didn’t hit my savings goal for the month (brunch was definitely a factor 😬) BUT I also had some really good food and time with friends around Nashville last month... so I’m not too mad about it 🥂 My first trip of the year is coming up in early May, so I’m getting serious about reigning in the food spending this month ✈️ Despite the budget mishaps, March wasn’t a total loss on the content front 👩‍💻 The March monthly review is live on the blog if you want to check it out!

Can y’all believe that exactly four months ago, I was packing up my backpack and prepping for the last night in a hostel after SIX WEEKS of solo travel around Europe? Honestly, I can’t either!!! I wrote a post last month about what I learned from my six week sabbatical trip during the fall of 2018 (#linkinbio)... but I’ve been wondering, would you be interested in a more practical/action-oriented post about the trip outlining the route, itinerary, logistics and budget?

What’s your travel philosophy? Do you prioritize the quantity of places you can see while traveling, or the quality of the time you spend traveling? Or some of both?
