Surviving (and Thriving) on a Plot Twist Women’s Only Trip in Colorado

Surviving (and Thriving) on a Plot Twist Women’s Only Trip in Colorado

Posted on by Tressie

Do you want to test your resilience, reconnect with your wild side, and find out just how close you can get to freezing your ass off without actually dying? I would highly recommend a Plot Twist women’s only adventure trip in Colorado.

Picture this: Mountains, blue Colorado sky, snow rolling off the peaks, pine trees whispering ancient gossip, and a group of badass women ready to hike, laugh, cry, heal, and occasionally make choices that are….somethin.

Solo AF in Northern MI: Bears, Hillbillies and the Tunnel of Trees

Solo AF in Northern MI: Bears, Hillbillies and the Tunnel of Trees

Posted on by Tressie

Let me tell you about my most recent solo adventure – a chaotic little loop through Northern MI and the UP that made me question my life choices in all the best ways. It involved goats, scrape metal, bears and just enough solo reflection to remember I’m a badass with a soft spot for my whippet Maizie, who I missed the entire time.

Let’s start from the top. I rolled into what I can only describe as the hillbilly part of Michigan. Which I say with love because hi, I’m a hillbilly-country-city-ghetto hybrid girl.

F*ck It, I Went Alone: A Solo Trip to Find My True Self (with Alpacas, Dinosaurs & Nature)

F*ck It, I Went Alone: A Solo Trip to Find My True Self (with Alpacas, Dinosaurs & Nature)

Sometimes you hit a wall. Life, with all its chaos and expectations, just feels like a never-ending loop of “WTF am I even doing?” That is me these days. Burnt out, stretched thin, and craving some kind of sign from the universe and trying to find my true self.

So, I said “f*ck it” and packed my bags. Just me, a few too many snacks, and a vague plan to drive until I felt something again. Spoiler alert: I found a hell of a lot more than I expected.

How I Ended up on an Adventure to Pittsburgh

When I found out that Bloggycon was going to be Thursday – Sunday this year (and I typically travel a day early to have a day to explore), my brain immediately went to I should take the whole week off!

But where do I go for the extra days? Reached out to Friends on Facebook and based on the comments landed on an adventure to Pittsburgh. Bonus – I would get to see 2 friends I hadn’t seen in years.

From the Botanical Garden, the Strip District, the Duquesne Incline and more – it was truly an amazing trip.
