About



I’m your average traveler.
Well, maybe not so average… I fly pretty frequently. I'm happy when I get a good seat, frustrated when flights are delayed, and am very much appreciative of Southwest Airlines' bags-fly-free policy. I am blessed to live the life I'm living.

I have this blog because I have stories to tell, people to meet and places to visit. I’d like to share my experiences with whoever stops by!

NOTE: I am not affiliated with Southwest Airlines, I just
happen to fly them.
A lot.

Flight 1272, 37 1/12

It’s official, I moved to Dallas! Well, less “move” and more “am living in” since most of my stuff is still in Phoenix. 

PHX - ABQ

It was difficult to leave Phoenix, since it is my home. I had no problem getting out to Albuquerque. I had to laugh - at the beginning of the flight, about half way through when the flight attendant was giving the safety announcement, the pilot started talking out of no where. It was pretty funny to see the confusion. The flight was smooth - I tried napping but I had a million things going on in my mind. Slightly bumpy landing when we arrived - which is exactly what I remember when I used to live there. 

ABQ - DAL

I met my mom and sister at the airport (they came in from Las Vegas). We all caught a flight to Dallas. I got a lower boarding pass letter/number so i got on the plane before them - but there wasn’t a full aisle available so I asked a gal to save two seats and I sat on the aisle seat behind her. When my mom and sister finally got on the plane, the lady realized that we were together and offered to switch me seats so the three of us could sit together… that was super nice of her! The flight went out completely full - 137 people - we got super lucky! The three of us chatted during the flight and landed smoothly in Dallas.

I start my internship with Southwest on Tuesday… Wish me luck! :)
