Time to Answer all the 'Whys?'


Why is your blog name Red Velvet To Go? It’s really not an interesting story but it all began back when I was in college. My roommate and I went out to the bars for some casual drinks on a Tuesday night. For obvious reasons, the bar was pretty dead so we started chatting up the bartender and taking one too many shots. We were feeling frisky and decided to come up with drunk alter egos.  The bartender dubbed me Red Velvet and it has become my drunk alter ego ever since. Most recently my new hobby at work is to convince my colleagues and bosses, with elaborate stories, that I had to strip through college in order to pay the bills and Red Velvet was actually my stripper name. I can tell that some of them actually believe me, I don’t know whether that makes me a good story teller or someone who looks like they stripped through college. Either way I will take it as a win. So to make this explanation even longer, I decided Red Velvet was the name to use for my blog/vlog because not only is my drunk alter ego sassy and eccentric, but I am also such a foodie when I travel. That pretty much sums up what my blog is going to be about as well.

Why do you think you are interesting enough to write a blog? Really this blog is not my main focus. I am actually going to focus on vlogging but use this page to write additional information if necessary and to share my videos. Either way I am not really doing this because I think I am interesting and have all this amazing information to share. Really it just looks like fun and an easy way to keep in touch with my massive family while I travel. This brings me to the topics I will be covering in both my blog and vlog. I promise it won’t always be me rambling as I have in this post (learning curve people). Since graduating college I have developed a passion for traveling. It really doesn't matter where I go as long as it is somewhere new.  My plan is to share my limited knowledge, yet outside the box perspective, on everything travel. Topics from how I pack a week’s worth of clothes in a carry on to annoying things people do on airplanes. Also, I plan on moving to Australia in June so I’m sure I can come up with some exciting and helpful things to talk about while preparing for that adventure.

Why Should you continue to check out my posts? Honestly, I don’t have a great answer for you yet, but hey even if this was the worst blog you have ever read, it can only go up from here. So give me a second, third, maybe even a fourth chance to win you over with my sparkling personality and stupid sense of humor.

If you have actually made it through this entire post and want to watch my first ever vlog here’s the link below! (I promise I will do my best to improve my blogging/vlogging skills!)
