Actresses like Jennifer Lopez, Angela Bassett, Viola Davis and Angelina Jolie inspired me to pursue the acting dream. And over the last year, the dream had become something I realized I had the utmost complete power to make happen.

Up and Coming Camps at Burning Man
Upon arriving at the gates of Burning Man, if it’s your first time or your twentieth you’ll always be greeted the same: “Welcome home!” For first timers this will be the moment to get out of your vehicle, finally stretch your legs, and promptly roll around in the dust, baptized in what will be your new home. Freshly dusted, equipped with your map and guide, it’s time to slow roll down one of the main streets to where camp will be. After the gravity of where you are sets in, you’ve unpacked and oriented yourself it’s time to venture out. Perhaps on foot, probably on a bike to check out the neighborhood and the playa. Exploring the labyrinth of streets, alleyways, villages, camps and everything in-between can be overwhelming for even the grizzled vets of Burning Man. This year being my sixth year on the playa I found a couple camps who eased that excitement, gave me a place to chill and most of all, knew how to party. These are my two up and coming Burning Man Camps you need to find next year.

Not All Wanderers Are Nuts
Four years ago this week, I displayed masochistic tendencies. I was in the exam room of the local urgent care clinic with a foot that could not support my weight and X-rays showing a small avulsion fracture in my badly sprained ankle. The good doctor said to take it easy, use crutches, and ice it as needed. My response was “but I’m hiking to the Acropolis next week!”

Best Kept Secret
Sometimes there are things that seem almost too fantastic to believe. For example, if I told you that within a small area in Wales you could visit Roman ruins, Medieval ruins, early Industrial ruins, and see the birthplace of saints, Hollywood celebrities, and one of the fathers of the American Industrial Revolution, would you believe me?

Why You Should Visit Odense If You Are a Fan of Harry Potter
Odense is the third-largest city in Denmark. It has a population of 175,245 as of January 2016, and is the main city of the island of Funen. Odense has close associations with Hans Christian Andersen who is remembered above all for his fairy tales. He was born in the city in 1805 and spent his childhood years there.

Camping > Hotels
One of the few things that keeps us going when we don't like our jobs: vacation. It seems to be implemented in most of our DNAs, the urge to travel and explore. Now, I say most because there are those few that enjoy staying in the same place, and if that's your case, I encourage you to go out on a limb and have an adventure. The memories and experiences obtained from such an event are priceless and unforgettable, but to make them even better, go camping instead of staying in hotels. That's how you have a real adventure.
