That Time When… I Flew to Canada with the Incorrect Passport
Why spend an additional $110 to renew my passport if I didn't need to yet? I figured I'd just replace my passport when it expired in six years, and I could change my name then. After all, it was so easy to book tickets under my maiden name! ... Until I had to go on a work trip to Toronto.
Where in the World is Megan?
As you read on my post last week, I am officially back to cruising. This time I am on my first Celebrity ship and one of their newest, the Celebrity Edge. Famous for their “magic carpet” and first American female Captain, Kate McCue and her hairless cat Bug (find her on TikTok, its worth it). This has been a cruise line my family and I have been eyeing for years.
Top 10 Vegan Restaurants in St. Pete, Florida
The donuts at Valkyrie Doughnuts are yeast-raised, egg-free and dairy-free.

Here are just a few of the other vegan and plant-based restaurants in the area, giving you ten awesome options to choose from.
I’m Setting Sail!
Come July 17th, I will be officially in my happy place; on the open ocean setting sail for a new adventure. Now that cruising is back (well sort of), my family and I could not wait to get back on board. While this may not be the make up Europe cruise, we had planned for 2020, I am just thankful to be taking my first full week vacation since 2019! It is long over do.
How Study Abroad Changed My Life
When I was 20, between my junior and senior years of undergrad, I was fortunate enough to join about ~100 other students from my college on a month-long study abroad. We spent two weeks in France, primarily Paris, as well as two weeks in London, England. While there, I finished my capstone class to graduate, but more importantly, I had an adventure that changed my life. These are just a few of the things, outside of advertising campaigns, that my study abroad taught me.
Dunedin Brewery Tour
Dunedin, FL located 10 minutes north of Clearwater and about 30 minutes west of Tampa is a hidden gem that more and more people are discovering. Because of their recently growing downtown and addition of the revamped Fenway Hotel, visitors and locals are flocking to this very cool Florida town. One thing Dunedin is most famous for is its abundance of breweries. Dunedin is home to 9 popular craft breweries so there is something for every type of beer drinker. The best part about Dunedin and their brewery scene is they are all a short walk or bike ride away from one another, making it the perfect day time activity!
Spotlight: Voodoo Doughnut
When Tyler and I were visiting for the holiday in July 2019, I made sure we stopped for Voodoo Doughnut before we headed out to the Garden of the Gods. Are they the perfect hiking food? No. But we made it work. If you’ve never been to Voodoo Doughnut, this is definitely a stop to make on your next trip.

3 Days in Puerto Rico
In September 2019, Tyler and I went with his parents on a quick trip to Puerto Rico. We were able to stay in his uncle’s condo in Rincón, which put us right on the beach. We rolled up late at night, but were excited to really kick off our time there the next day. Here's how we spent our three days on the island...
