Looking good isn’t the main priority when we’re off exploring the world. When we book a trip, we’re primarily focused on challenging ourselves, visiting interesting places, meeting new people, and going off the beaten path to see beautiful places that are vastly different to where we live.

7 Travel Traumas (and How to Avoid Them)
If there’s one thing travel should never be, it’s traumatic, but let’s face it, so many of us have had our vacations turn out more “National Lampoon’s Vacation” than “Eat, Pray, Love.” When you step out of your usual environment, things can and do go wrong, and they can ruin your trip completely, which is why we are going to look at some common travel traumas, and what you can do to avoid them, below.

How To Travel With Only Hand Luggage
If you want to travel, one thing that might have held you back in the past was the cost, but that doesn’t have to be the case anymore – there are now lots of low-cost airlines from which you can buy tickets that cost very little indeed. When you’re also able to use the internet to find cheap accommodation, suddenly getting away from it all for the weekend (or maybe even a little longer) doesn’t seem completely out of reach anymore.

3 Tips For Maintaining Your Health & Wellbeing While You Travel
Travel is rejuvenating for the mind and body, but it’s also taxing at a similar rate. This is because when you travel, you tend to be very open and attentive to your environment; taking in the wonderful views, relaxing with a sense of purpose and calm, and giving yourself the space you need to indulge in great food, sightseeing, and maybe even adventurous activities.

Friday Feels
I need a tropical vacation ASAP, but since that is not happening I can at least pretend and dress like I am on an island, right?? How do you dress on vacay? My look is usually simple and relaxed with with pops of color and unique accessories, like I did with this outfit here. A black tank goes well with almost anything and white jeans most definitely stand out, particularly during the summer’s lush landscape. I added some color with these coral tassel earrings which I am in love with and will be wearing all summer. Then can we talk about these shoes? They are perfect since I am pretty much the Plant Lady of Louisville! Lol! Did you know the floral meaning of Cactus is longevity and endurance. Something we all need right?!?

Alli Travels: Sorrento Australia
The whole continent of Australia is beautiful. I spent my time there in the states of Victoria and New South Wales. Sorrento is a townships in Victoria that I had the opportunity to visit. Located off the shores of Port Phillip Bay in the Mornington Peninsula and about an hour and a half from the city of Melbourne, Sorrento is a great getaway.
When we finished our day walking around the local strip we took the Seared Ferries, a 40 minute boat ride, from Sorrento to Queenscliff, which is the gateway to Great Ocean Road (a must see) for our next adventure. Check out the video below where you might see some dolphins.

Alli Travels: LA
One place you have to visit while in Cali is LA. Am I right? There is everything from shopping on Rodeo Dr. or at The Grove, eating at great restaurants, seeing the ocean, and many historical sites that you see in the movies and on tv. While we were in LA we took one of those sight seeing, hop on, hop off, city bus tours. Yes it maybe very touristy, but it is the best way to see the city in such a short time. We used Starline, they have these buses in almost all major cities and countries. I definitely think they are well worth the money. You get a little education as you ride along and see the sites. If you see something you like, hop off, explore on your own and catch the next bus to continue your tour. Genius idea!
Alli Travels: San Diego
When I travel I like to dress comfortable. I love to wear maxi dresses because they are so easy. The one I have on is from last season, but I found some that I plan to add to my closet (here, here, and this one here). I also like jeans when I travel (the ones I have on below can be found here), a cute pair of sandals (here and here), a good pair of sunnies (I like these here), and a large tote to carry everything (my favorite is here). You can shop the rest of my looks below.
