Guest Post: The Worst Day, The Best Day

Kristin Kee

I am very pleased to have my first guest post written by Elizabeth C. Haynes, a very talented friend of mine who has just written her first book, which is currently available for preorder. I hope you enjoy her storytelling as much as I do. The Worst Day, The Best Day It was a regular day just like any other, probably a Tuesday. The sun was low in the sky and my stepson was home from elementary school. We’d just finished a family dinner at a long, wooden kitchen table and I was clearing the plates while my little boy

Why San Miguel de Allende is Overrated and Where You Should Go Instead

Kristin Kee

If you’re like me and follow 1000+ travel sites on social media, then you’ve probably seen over the past two years that San Miguel de Allende is THE hottest travel destination right now!  With its Spanish colonial architecture, hilly cobblestone streets, and artsy vibe, it truly is an unforgettable destination centrally located in the heart of Mexico. But, I’m here to tell you why San Miguel de Allende is a little overrated and where you should go instead!  I wish that San Miguel had been on my radar about ten years ago, back when it was just an artsy, picturesque

Christmas in New York City – Your Complete Itinerary

Christmas in New York City - A Magical Experience You Soon Won't Forget: Visiting New York City at Christmastime is on many a person's bucket list, and if it's not on yours, it should be!  The words Christmas and New York City are synonymous in my brain, and if you've ever been to NYC at Christmastime, you know what I'm talking about! In short, New York City is Christmas for the month of December (and one week in November)!  Every block you stroll down comes to life with beautiful Christmas lights, and as you stroll down Fifth Avenue, the store

Dallas Cowboys Party Pass Ticket – Tips and Tricks

Kristin Kee4 comments

Before handing over all of next month's paycheck to take yourself or your whole family to a Dallas Cowboys game, keep reading below for my tips and tricks on how to get the most out of your Party Pass Ticket and save yourself hundreds of dollars in the process. As a former teacher with a bad case of the wanderlust, it can be hard during the school year when you don’t have the time or the money you need to travel.  I used to have a limited amount of vacation days at my disposal, and I always had a limited

What You Should Know Before Your First Float Tank Experience

Kristin Kee4 comments

What It's Like to Actually Float Remember when you were a kid, lying on the grass and staring up at the clouds, wondering what it would feel like to lie down and float in one of those fluffy nebulae?  Well, floating in a sensory deprivation tank filled with 1000 lbs of Epsom salt in the water feels kinda like that, I imagine, only wetter! I had the privilege of floating for the first time at the chic Riviera Spa, located on Travis St. in the Knox/Henderson area of Dallas.  Everything about my experience at Riviera Spa was the epitome of

Kristin Kee

Let's get back to it, shall we??  If you didn't catch Part 1 of "How Kiki Got Her Groove Back...And Then Some!", you can give it a read here.  In Part 1, I explained my first two steps in my Self Discovery 101 plan, so make sure to read that first.  If you skip it, it would be like baking a cake without creaming the butter and sugar together first!  Mmmm, cake...but I digress! So, now that you’ve recentered yourself in your essential Kikiness (insert your own name here + ness) and started opening yourself up to new experiences, it’s time

How Kiki Got Her Groove Back…And Then Some! (Part 1)

Kristin Kee

Let’s go back in time to 1998.  I had just started my sophomore year of high school, and the album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, had just been released.  As a teenager, I spent hours in my bedroom listening to music, and boy did I feel like Lauryn really understood me!  But looking back, it amuses me to think about my teenage relationship woes...my crush didn’t like me back, my best friend got a new boyfriend and didn’t have time for me anymore, I’d never find a boyfriend who liked me for my stick-figure physique, etc.  Of course at the

Why Some Friends Dump You After Getting Dumped

Kristin Kee

Does this sound all too familiar?  When you were in a relationship with your ex, your social calendar was so full, you had to turn down invitations to hang out with friends from your various social circles, just so you two could have some alone time together.  You two would schedule your weekends together...game night with this group of friends once a month, a double date with this couple every third Thursday, happy hour with the couple you just met in your condo building, and so forth!  But now, now that you’re single and ready to mingle, you have to

The Hard Love Lesson I Learned in My Thirties

Kristin Kee

People come into your life for a reason or a season...it's that simple.  It's a straightforward truth but one that has taken me my entire adult life to understand and accept.  I still don't have all the answers, nor will I ever, as to why this is, and the eternal optimist in me really struggles with this truth.  As friends, family, and romantic partners have floated in and out of my life over the years, it has become clear that there are no guarantees in life and in love.  This may sound bleak, but the optimist in me still finds

About me

Wanderlust or Love

Kristin Kee

My name is Kristin Kee, a.k.a. Kiki, and I'm a 37 year old Texan and former Spanish teacher turned full-time travel blogger! I also recently relocated to Charleston, SC after falling head over heels in love with a native Charlestonian. I was first bitten by the travel bug when I was 7 years old on a family trip to San Francisco, and from that moment forward, I fell in love with the unknown world around me! So, it could be argued that for me, it's not a case of wanderlust but rather wanderlove. Join me on my journey of self and world exploration, and perhaps you too will take your wanderlust to the next level and fall in wanderlove!
