The Dream Travel Job is mine!

Exciting news!  Guess who's won her "DREAM TRAVEL JOB"??  ME!!!

This Spring, Viator held a video contest looking for four videographers to travel in teams of two to North America and Europe!  Ryan Van Duzer and Asha Mevlana were the lucky winners in rounds one and two...and guess who snagged a spot in round 3...ME!  And the winner of round four--and my new travel buddy--Brock Goombridge (aka Backpacker Brock)!  Ryan and Asha are already out exploring Europe, so Brock and I have been paired up to take on North America!  Viator is giving us $15,000 to pay for our expenses and report on the best tours and attractions in 20 cities over the next 60 days!  Ah, and one more thing...When it's all said and done, we'll be creating a wrap-up video, and the team that gets the most votes will win $10,000 to share.  Seriously.  Think we can do it?  Stay tuned, we'll need your vote!

TTFN, Denver!

Before reporting for duty for the "Dream Travel Job," I had a long goodbye-hug with my hometown in Denver.  I'll be away for 2.5 months, shooting and hosting travel videos (now that sounds like a dream job!), which means, there's plenty to do to get ready!

It was wonderful to celebrate my new gig with friends over pints with my friends at Vine Street Pub.  That patio is just too darn perfect on a beautiful Spring day...and my friends are all too amazing as well!  

  

 

I spent some time exploring the city like a tourist.  My buddy Kylie and I did a grand tour of Lo-Hi before heading she headed back to Australia, and Scottie stopped through Denver as well.

I enjoyed a few colorful cocktails and crafty ice cubes...
 
And showed off a little Kickball spirit.  Whoever invented slosh kickball should win an award.  I love this tradition.

 

Whoever invented sleepy time yoga class should also win an award.  This is so relaxing.  You grab a blanket and eye mask and do five poses for ten minutes each--so you basically just lay there for an hour.  HA!

Hiking with dad in Deer Creek Canyon was sure pretty pretty!  My dad knows all the plant names and can even get a butterfly to pose for a photo!

And my mom and I sure know how to have "FUN"!  Whether we're road trippin' across the USA or just eaten' noodles bowls and shoppin' 'til we're droppin'.  We hope this year's Best of the Road contestants have tons of FUN this summer!  It looks like Rand McNally is gassing up the RV and getting ready to hit the road.  And it looks like we're comin' with.  Haha.

Shout out to the best creatives in town and Sauce Society!  I will miss a few of these fun gatherings...but there will be more.  

 

Ciao, Denver!  See you in a few months!
