Visiting Roswell, New Mexico has been a dream of mine since I was a kid. The X-Files taught me long ago that alien life was a real possibility and if I were ever to experience a UFO sighting in person, it would probably happen in Roswell. It's the sight of one of the biggest UFO conspiracies in history, after all. Sadly, I did not see a spaceship (unless aliens brainwashed me not to remember) but we still had an awesome afternoon exploring this nerdy little town, with little green men souvenirs everywhere and the most amusing International UFO museum. Plus check out the cows getting sucked into the spaceship on the top of that welcome sign! 👍

What's the coolest small town you've ever been too?

We went to New Mexico hoping to find some warm weather in the middle of winter. We were greeted with blizzards and ice storms...not the greatest start to our week-long vacation. But while driving between Las Cruces and Roswell, we entered Lincoln National Forest, a hilly drive with small mountain towns, snow-covered trees, and some rare blue skies! Who knew we would find a winter wonderland in  the Southwest!
.
When has weather altered your plans on a trip? Gotta say, at least this wasn't as bad as when I was in the Caribbean during a tropical depression haha.

This is me channeling my inner Jodie Foster (has anyone else seen the move Contact?). These massive radio antenna in the middle of nowhere New Mexico are each 92 feet tall and the dishes themselves are 82 FEET WIDE. It''s really surreal walking up to one of these, especially since their jobs is to scan outer space for things like black holes. Makes you feel pretty small in our universe 😆
.
Have you traveled to any space-related destinations? This was a first for me 😊

There are a lot of random roadside stops in New Mexico. Seriously, you could drive for a week straight and not see them all. This was one that made it very high up on our personal road trip list. The Very Large Array, or VLA, is a collection of 27 MASSIVE radio antenna in a 42 mile wide field roughly two hours southwest of Albuquerque. These guys scan the skies and outer space searching for info on black holes and new discoveries in our galaxy. Not bad for a road trip pit stop amiright??

What's the coolest road trip stop you've taken?

Cheers to the weekend! Not with a beer but with a massive scoop of chocolate hazelnut gelato (even better!). No joke, I had roughly 15 servings of gelato during my week in Italy. When in Rome!...or in this case, Cinque Terre.
.
What's your favorite gelato flavor?? I know you all have one lol. I'm all chocolate all the time 😊
.
Learn more about Cinque Terre in my blog (link in bio!)
After two hours of hiking along the cliffs of the Mediterranean between villages in Cinque Terre, a view like this is the honestly the best reward. Vernazza is definitely the busiest of the five Cinque Terre towns, but that means there are PLENTY of gelato options for you to choose from once you arrive. Physical exercise requires a sugar rush afterwards, right??
.
Have you been to Cinque Terre? If not, is it on your travel bucket list? (because it definitely should be 😊)
