Hey everyone! I am excited to speak to you about the Liebster Award.
Thank you to Karen and Suzan from The Epicurious Explorers for nominating me for the esteemed Liebster Award. I have been blogging since the end of April 2017 and I am excited to be acknowledged for my website.

Questions And Answers
1. How do you like traveling solo/friends/family?
I love traveling with my family. There is nothing better than seeing my two kiddos playing together by the stream up in the mountains.
2. Are you more of a mountain or beach person?
The mountains are my playground. I am a mountain person. I love staying in a quaint cabin, up in the mountains, during wintertime. It is cozy and breathtaking when you add a snowstorm to the mix.
3. Do you love sunrises or sunsets?
I cannot choose one or the other. Sunrises and sunsets both have a special place in my heart.
4. What’s your favorite travel quote?
“Not all those who wander are lost.”—J.R.R. Tolkien
5. How many countries have you visited?
The only two countries I have visited are Mexico and Canada. I want to add more to this list in the future.
6. Out of all the countries you have visited, which one did you like the most?
Canada is the country I visited that I liked the most. It was so rustic and down to earth. All the people were nice, friendly, and inviting.
7. What’s the best food/street food you have eaten and from which country?
Authentic Mexican food is the best! I think you can tell the country, right?! 😉 Mexico!
8. What is the best memory that you have while traveling?
My friend and I rented scooters while on vacation down in Mexico. During the afternoon, we took the scooters and drove down to where part of the movie The Predator was filmed. That was so much fun and I am a huge Arnold Schwarzenegger fan!
9. What have you learned from your experience with travel?
I have learned to slow down and not be in such a hurry. Life is in such a rush already. Take the time to stop and take a breath every once in a while.
10. Is blogging a hobby or something you do for a living?
Blogging is something I am trying to make a living doing. I hope to make this a reality in the next couple of months. I also plan to go live with another blog at the beginning of 2018.
11. Do you have any advice or tips for aspiring travelers/bloggers?
Consistency and discipline are key to blogging. It is easy to flake out but decide how much you want to publish posts each week and on what days. Maintain the schedule and do not falter. Those who read your blog will praise you for it.
Have a passion for your niche. This way you will never run out of content to create or the desire to pursue new ways to create it.
