SAVE THIS POST: The first stop on our Nevada Road trip was Valley of Fire State Park. It’s one hour from Las Vegas and stunning!

Not only are there great views, there are short hikes perfect for the whole family (we had ages 3-58 on our trip and everyone was able to complete the hikes, or be carried during them- Kennedy I’m talking to you). It costs $10 per vehicle to enter the park and is open from sunrise to sunset. The best time to visit is October-March so you can really enjoy the hikes without dying of heat.

While you can see a lot in a day I recommend staying over one night to experience all the park has to offer. You can camp inside the park for an additional $10 or $20
For RV hook-ups but spots are first come first serve.

If you only have a day I recommend these hikes: Fire Wave (1.5 miles round trip), White Domes Loop (1.2 miles round trip), and Mouse’s Tank (0.7 miles round trip). Have you been to Las Vegas? Did you leave the strip?

There’s more to Nevada than Las Vegas!! We spent the past 6 days exploring @travelnevada from #NeonToNature on a #NVRoadTrip.

Excited that we finally initiated my mom into the RV club. And yes all 6 of us drove around and slept in this RV and we’re all still alive and talking to each other 🙌🏾. We visited the Lost City Museum, Valley of Fire, Lake Mead, Hoover Dam, Boulder City and ended the trip spending two days in Las Vegas.

Save this post for future reference as I’ll be answering any questions you guys have about RVing (cuz you know after 3 RV trips we’re pros now haha). What’s your all-time favorite memory of traveling with your family?

Thank you to @travelzoo for giving us this opportunity for a fun multi-gen vacation. #thetravelingchild #nevada #roadtrip #rving #rvingwithkids

Using a $400RT ticket to London to visit other parts of Europe cheaply! When looking for a cheap flights to a specific city/country it can often be cheaper to fly into a nearby one and then move on to your ideal destination. I did this back in May when I had the opportunity to explore @visitgraz when I applied and was accepted to the Propel Conference by Captivate. After 3 days of intense learning of ways to improve my business I got the opportunity to explore the region. It’s really affordable to travel throughout Europe once you’re there whether by train or budget airlines with tickets being as low as $12.

Anywho when I made it to Austria after putting in work at the conference I spent 3 days riding around the South Styrian Wine Road and taking in the gorgeous scenery. It included a drive down a street where half the car was in Austria and half was in Slovenia. I sat in the back in the middle so whoever said you can’t be in two places at once lied!! Click the link in bio for my itinerary so that the next time you think of Austria you’ll want to explore more than just Vienna! What’s your #1 travel hack? ————

I left Memphis loving it and cannot wait to return with the whole family. I’ll touch base on more reasons why I love it but first let’s talk about how to save money on your accommodations when visiting here or anywhere.

I’ve been talking about @doshapp (it’s free) for a while now and if you haven’t downloaded it yet but book hotels, shop or eat at restaurants you’re missing out big time.

I booked my Memphis Hotel via Dosh and got 24% cash back on my booking, making my room $53.95 cheaper than booking on the hotels website or any other booking option [ad]. You can check out a room tour of my hotel in my story highlights.

Since May I’ve earned a total of $555.58 cash back on my everyday purchases. So how does it work?Once you’ve downloaded the Dosh App, link any and all credit cards you use. Once they’re linked, anytime you shop at a participating store, eat at a participating restaurant or book your hotel via Dosh you’ll get 2-40% cash back.

Participating stores include Sam’s Club, Sephora, OshKosh/Carter’s, Dunkin Donuts and more. You can then transfer the money directly to your bank or PayPal account. Click the link in bio to download the app. If you’ve been to Memphis what’s your favorite part? #thetravelingchild #memphis #tennessee

On Friday I surprised the girls and picked Jordyn up from school then drove them to Orlando for @waltdisneyworld’s Not So Scary Halloween Party. They love Disney and Halloween so they were so excited (you can see their reactions in our story highlights). After attending I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to Disney on a regular day!

You guys are always asking me the products I use in the girls hair and how I do it so I’m so happy to be partnering with @cantubeauty to show you #ad. As you know Kennedy and Jordyn have two very different hair textures but I love that I don’t have to buy different products to get great results. Swipe left for a video of how I do their hair and the Cantu products used. Today was picture day at school and Cantu did not let me down! Available at your local @Walmart. #mycantu #B2SwithCantu
