Life Update and Book Deal News

We are moving in just 15 days! The reality that my life is about to change drastically is starting to set in. There are so many exciting things happening this summer I can’t wrap my mind around it all! Trenton and I will be spending the summer traveling, which I am so thrilled about. Since I’ve been doing a lot of writing for Thought Catalog and Elite Daily, I have landed a few sponsored trips.

First, Trenton and I will be headed off on a Caribbean cruise to Grand Cayman, Jamaica, and Mexico. The cruise line is hooking me up with all sorts of amenities like a spa day, fitness classes, specialty restaurants, and even a balcony room! Since they are hosting me and Trenton, Trenton’s family decided to book themselves some tickets so we could make it a family vacation. It is going to be awesome!

So after our week long cruise our ship docks at 8 AM, and we have exactly 2 hours to debark our ship and hop onto our plane which leaves a little after 10 AM! We will be headed to Honduras to spend a week doing volunteer work. It was kind of a last minute trip that got plopped into our laps and we were like, okay we’ll go!! Hopefully we will make our flight though, I’m trying not to worry about the time frame!

After we get back from a week in Honduras, we will have two weeks in Florida. Then, we will be going to HAWAII! The Hawaii Visitor’s Bureau is hosting me for the ultimate Island of Hawaii road trip. They just sent me over my itinerary this week, and me and Trenton are going crazy with anticipation. It’s going to be the trip of a lifetime.

After we get back I will be headed to Pennsylvania, followed by some down time, then we will be spending a week in Virginia followed by another Caribbean cruise.

After our final cruise we have a few weeks of down time before heading off to training and then, as of right now, moving!

Between all of that, I have my first book coming out, published by Thought Catalog. It is called The Smart Girl’s Guide to Surviving Her Twenties. This quick, fun read covers establishing a career, embracing minimalism, finances, health, fitness, and travel. I can’t wait for you all to read it!

I just received the interior design from my editor, and the cover design team should have the first draft of my book cover ready sometime this week. I can’t wait to see what they have come up with! Once the book cover is released, I should know the release date. All I know right now is it will be out this summer!!

I can’t wait to share about all of my travels on the blog this summer! Make sure to subscribe so you don’t miss a thing. (:
