A week tomorrow I head home for Christmas!! It’ll be my first Christmas Day at home since 2015! Where will you be spending Christmas this year? Are you travelling? December has been a pretty good travel month for me. I started in the Florida Keys (I could definitely get used to a warm Christmas!), followed by the Christmas market in Chicago (which is my latest blog post btw 😉...the link is in my bio), I then had a winter glamping getaway in Charles City IA and then heading England bound for the rest of the year! Phew! #keywestflorida #keywestlife #thefloridakeys #visitkeywest #visitflorida #travelflorida #christmasonthebeach #visitusa #visittheusa #travelusa #usatravel #wintergetaway #wintertravel #expatliving #expatwoman #expatblogger #travelinglife #exploreeverywhere #girlsvsglobe #femaletravelbloggers #gltlove #starttheadventure #homeforchristmas #expats #expatexplore #travelislove #adventurepic #thetraveltribe

This time last week I was in the Florida Keys! The Keys are made up of 29 islands that are connected by 42 bridges, the longest being ‘Seven Mile Bridge’! Key West, the very last island and the Southern most point of the USA is actually closer to Cuba than what it is to Miami! I was so happy to be able to tick this road trip off my bucket list! #thefloridakeys #sevenmilebridge #droneshots #djispark #djisparkdrone #visitflorida #djiphotography #miamitokeywest #floridaexplored #overseashighway #bridgeview #oceanviews #usaroadtrip #visitusa #travelusa #starttheadventure #girlsvsglobe #gltlove #femaletravelbloggers #weekendwanderer #weekendwanderlust #thetraveltribe #freshairandfreedom #adventure_culture #travelinglife #traveleverywhere #sidewalkerdaily #loveflorida

Thankfully we missed the Iowa blizzard yesterday (some places had 12 inches of snow!) but the temperature today was still a real feel of -14c/6f. BUT on Friday I’ll be on the beach in 28c/82f and couldn’t be any more ready for it! Unfortunately it’s not the beach from this shot, this was taken in Byron Bay Australia, instead I’ll be heading down to Key West Florida! It’s been on my bucket list for a while and I’ll be there on my birthday! Have you ever travelled on your birthday? Where did you go?! #byronbaybeach #iloveaustralia #australiagram_nsw #australia_oz #sunset_love #oceansunset #travelaustralia #visitaustralia #beachsunset #roadtrippers #explorewithme #freshairandfreedom #getoutdoorsmore #gltlove #girlsvsglobe #femaletravelbloggers #thebeachiscalling #lifeisbetteratthebeach #lifeisbetteroutside #oceanviews #travelinglife #traveling_sunset #starttheadventure #adventure_culture #exploretheoutdoors #shewhowanders #thetraveltribe #travelhappy

Who knew that you could ski in Iowa? 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️ This is one thing that shocked me when I first moved here, I knew it was cold enough and snowed a lot but I always assumed Iowa was a pretty flat state! Last year I took my first ski lesson at Sundown Mountain in Dubuque...a crashed into a small child and brought the chair lift on the bunny hill to a grinding halt when my skis got tangled up with my instructor’s! I still consider it a success! Have you ever been skiing or have any learner horror stories😝?! #whereiowastarted #traveliowa #dubuque #dubuqueiowa #midwestmoment #midwestliving #midwestisbest #midwestblogger #iowaskies #learningtoski #expatliving #usatravel #visittheusa #smalltownlife #smalltownusa #smalltownamerica #starttheadventure #adventure_culture #adventureeverywhere #stayadventurous #freshairandfreedom #gltlove #femaletravelbloggers #girlsvsglobe #weekendwanderer #thetraveltribe #skiresort #skiing🎿

EVERYONE! I’ve just seen the new Fantastic Beasts ‘Crimes of Grindelwald’ film 😮⚡️woah! There were some MAJOR twists!!! I feel like I need to go and see it again just to take it all in!! Are you/have you seen it yet?! Here’s a photo of the Hogwarts Castle at Universal Islands of Adventure FL from a slightly different perspective! #islandsofadventureorlando #islandsofadventure #wizardingworldofharrypotter #wizardingworld #wizardingworldorlando #orlandofl #harrypotterworld #harrypotterfandom #iloveharrypotter #fantasticbeasts2 #crimesofgrindelwald #visittheusa #visitflorida #hogwartscastle #backtohogwarts #floridasun #travelinglife #usatravel #gltlove #femaletravelbloggers #girlsvsglobe #themeparks #starttheadventure #adventure_culture #adventurepic #travelhappy #adventureanywhere #harrypottercastle #readyforuniversal

Can you believe that this is at a zoo?! I am absolutely loving Animal Planet’s ‘Crikey It’s The Irwins’! I was a huge Steve Irwin fan and have been to Australia Zoo twice now, once in 2008 and again this year! 10 years ago this area wasn’t part of the public zoo, this is the view from ‘Bindi’s Treehouse’ which is on an island was free roaming ring tailed lemurs! Deep down I wish I had have became a zoo keeper, the closest I got was volunteering at Colchester Zoo in the UK! What did you want to be when you were a kid? #australiazoo #beerwah #sunshinecoasthinterland #zoophotography #crikeyitstheirwins #crikey #australia_oz #iloveaustralia #queensland_captures #visitqueensland #breathtakingviews #wildlifewarrior #freshairandsunshine #australianwildlife #girlsvsglobe #gltlove #femaletravelbloggers #getoutandexplore #exploretheoutdoors #natureatitsbest #starttheadventure #stayadventurous #athomeintheworld #shewhowanders #sheadventures #travelinglife #explorewithme #globalwanderer
