So if you’ve ever tried traveling and blogging at the same time you’ll know it’s a pretty difficult task!  Generally when you’re traveling you’re not writing, and when you’re writing you’re not traveling!  So while this past week I’ve been out collecting material to write about – and trying to live as much in each moment as possible without being consumed by the need to stay connected, I have been posting instant photos from my phone to instagram as we make our way towards Washington DC!

A recent Instagram Snapshots series on Wanderlusters.co.uk made me realize an Instagram recap from the week was a brilliant idea!

Here are the top instagram photos from this past week!

Florida into Georgia!

Florida into Georgia! We spent the evening on day 1 exploring Savannah and had our first DoubleTree by Hilton experience!  Truly excited to travel to South and Central America with DoubleTree next year; the hotel and hospitality was phenomenal!

Watching the sunrise over Myrtle Beach from our balcony at Hampton Inn & Suites was truly spectacular.  I actually chose to wake up at 6am so not to miss it...a huge thing considering I'm NOT a morning person!

Enjoying Myrtle Beach!  Reminds me a lot of Gold Coast Australia.

I fell in love with the city of Charlotte as soon as we arrived!  Such an amazing blend of metropolis and rich history!

Did I mention I was in love with the city of Charlotte? The skyline is absolutely magical once evening hits - we walked for 5 minutes from our hotel for this view!

  1. I totally understand you sweetie. It is so difficult to combine your travels with blogging (especially when you need to manage all your social media channels and write blog posts). It’s a hard but very rewarding job :). Just take your time, enjoy your travel during the day and work before you go to sleep xx

    • Thanks Agness! It definitely is rewarding though – agree with you there!! This trip was definitely a great experiment for me to see how I handled everything while being on the road!
