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.

Top 5 things to NOT do on an airplane

1. Paint your nails - Why? Because the air in an airplane is circulated. So you may think that only the fellow travelers around you will smell it, but unfortunately, everyone on the airplane will smell your nail polish.

2. Take your shoes off - Ew. There are so many reasons why you shouldn’t do this. The first reason is that feet smell. The second is that you don’t know what shoes (or what was on the bottom of someone’s shoes) were resting under your feet prior to you sitting there. The third is respect for your fellow travelers. This is an aircraft, not your home.

3. Pick, bite, chew or clip your nails - Another ew. You don’t know where some of your nails are going to fly. Some of them may end up in your fellow travelers lap.

4. Light a match if you fart - Fires and airplanes do not mix. Chances are if you do light a match to cover the smell of your gas, you will be arrested as soon as the plane lands. Instead either hold it, go to the restroom or turn your air on high to help circulate the air around you.

5. Eat anything left over in the seat back in front of you - Sure, it may look like those few extra peanuts or crackers weren’t touched, but would you eat that if you saw it chillin in a trashcan? Probably not.
