#100 Go Skiing in the Summer

Last summer–Father’s Day, in fact–I had the unique pleasure of hitting the slopes of Aspen Mountain in the middle of June. Glacier skiing, common in parts of Canada and the Pacific Northwest, enables skiing almost year round. This is not the case in Aspen. The glaciers that carved out the Roaring Fork Valley have been [...]

#97 Lie, Cheat, and Steal

I know you’re thinking either one of two things: she’s either a bad influence on people, or she will tell me to “Lie to your the cook if the food is bad, cheat your brother out of doing the dishes, and steal someone’s heart.” Well, think again!
In honor of a holiday (Thanksgiving) where we give [...]

#94 Go On A Road Trip!

Past the original feeling of excitement most teenagers feel at age 16 when we first get our license, most of us get so used to driving we forget how much fun it can be. In Austin, like many other cities, traffic can be so bad you wish you were on foot!
But fear not, [...]

#91 Take Pictures

I’ve secretly always wanted to be a photographer – don’t get me wrong, I love to write and want to make a career out of it – but there is something so cool about being able to take really good photographs. Being able to capture a moment, scene, landscape, event, etc. exactly as it happened, [...]

#89 Go to summer camp

Attawaytogo: the motto of the summer camp I attended for 11 years (but we’ll get to that in a bit).
I know that Holley already posted about working at a summer camp, but I had to add my two cents about attending summer camp. Unless we have a large young blog viewership, I guess this really goes [...]

#81 Visit Pilanesberg National Park

This fascinating national park lies in an ancient, extinct volcano crater. It’s the fourth largest national park in South Africa at 212 square miles, and the picture perfect location for your next (or first) Safari. It’s unique position in between the wet and dry lands of Africa allows an unique mixture of vegetation and animals, including [...]

#75 Try Tofurkey

For picky eaters, the approaching holiday season can be an exciting, yet terrifying time. If you aren’t a big fan of meat, nuts, or vegetables (like myself) then you may be… um… screwed. Is it just me, or have any of you left the Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner table, and then proceeded to the nearest [...]

#71 Live in a foreign country

It has been a common thread on our blog to encourage experiences involving foreign cultures or languages, but I realized none of us have posted about actually living in a foreign country. 
I haven’t ever lived in a foreign country – I’ve done my fair share of traveling – but that is something I really want [...]

#70 Go Zorbing

I asked my roommate Mike what he thought every millennial should do and he said zorbing. Yeah, I know. What the heck is that?  Sounds like it would take place in outer space.  Actually this experience took place in New Zealand; Mike explains.

Wanna see what zorbing really looks like now?  Check out this [...]

#64: Try something Extreme

This kind of relates to Kristin’s awesome post about learning to skateboard, but I’m going to take another angle and go with BMX biking! I have to admit that I am still a little nervous to try this one out, but again, it’s on THE 144 LIST so I have to do it!
I’m bringing back my [...]
