Route 66 Road Trip

Before I moved to India I was a travel nurse. If you are in the healthcare field I highly recommend traveling for work. It's a great way to see America and gives you time off after each 13-week assignment! I get a few emails a week about travel nursing so I will write more about

Koh Tao’s Chilled out Diving Vibe

Before I tell you about Koh Tao, I'll share what else I've been up  too online. Couchsurfing's Tumblr posted my tips for safe couchsurfing which brought me some new readers! That was a nice surprise. This next one is a little old, but I never shared a blogger collaboration on best coffees around the world,

DIY Lemon Sugar Scrub

Like I said in a post last week, I'm going to start sharing on here what writing I get up to outside Hippie in Heels. I've done two interviews, one with Grown Up Gap Year about my decision to leave the U.S. as well as a "what to pack" interview with Dirty Paws Blog. Since I was

My Accidental Boyfriend

I wrote this post a while ago but it never seemed like the right time to post it. I suppose no time is better than Valentine's day. Single people: what could your mind accomplish if you didn’t think about boys (or girls) most of the time? Maybe you think you don’t think about them that

Backwaters & Back-alleys of Kochi, Kerala

I've spent the last week in Kerala, and got a nice dose of trying to work online with very dodgy Wi-Fi. I do guest posts and writing outside of this blog, so I've decided I will start sharing links to those pieces. I recently was voted 3rd place for top expat blogs in India. I

First time abroad… Blissfully Ignorant?

When I read my journal about my first time abroad in Europe I literally laugh out loud at how dumb I was. I am glad I have grown and learned from traveling. Reading my journal reminds me of just how much I was living in a bubble. Before I left the country, the biggest cities

Koh Samui Nightlife, Waterfalls, & Burlesque

If you still want island life, but need a little more “big city” mixed in, Koh Samui nightlife will be perfect for you to take a break. I went twice; the first time as a base for the Full moon party, then second because we had some time to kill before we needed to catch
