Anybody that knows anything about me will know that I’m not a very spiritual person, or at least in the traditional sense of the word. I’m a strong willed atheist, I don’t believe in horoscopes and the zodiac, Feng Shui is another name for good taste and even yoga hurts just to watch. If asked about my spirituality I might…

The open road, an endless playlist, salty snacks and a few friends–what more do you need for a road trip across America?

Is living on a tropical island on your bucket list? It was definitely on mine, and I say was, because I’m doing it right now.
