    10 Star Wars Filming Locations To Make Our Inner Nerd Squeal

    January 1, 2025 /

    10 Star Wars Filming Locations To Make Our Inner Nerd Squeal Star Wars has been my obsession since forever. Episode III has always been my comfort movie ( don’t judge me). Like many fans, I’ve dreamed about walking the same paths as my favorite characters. You know what’s crazy? Those epic movie locations aren’t just CGI magic – they’re actual places we can visit! My Star Wars bucket list keeps growing every time I watch the movies. From the romantic Lake Como in Italy (hello, Naboo!) to the mind-blowing deserts of Jordan, these aren’t just random pretty spots. They’re pieces of Star Wars history right here on Earth. Sure, I…

    Planning an Epic Convention-Family Getaway – How to Turn Your Convention Trip into a Family Vacation

    December 25, 2024 /

    1. The Unconventional Convention: Breaking Free from the Norm It’s not a secret to anyone that I’m a bit of a nerd. Anything Marvel, Star Wars, Vampire Diaries and especially Supernatural are my weaknesses. Being able to go to any conventions overseas has always been a faraway dream, one of those “ If I ever win the lotto, that’s what I’d do” type of dreams, until March this year when I flew to Melbourne to attend my first ever convention and met a woman who had been to 11, some here in Australia, some in the USA and one in Europe.

    Why Your Money Goals Keep Failing ( And How To Fix Them)

    December 23, 2024 /

    Why Your Money Goals Keep Failing (And How to Fix Them) Every January, I watch my friends make the same mistake. They set these big-money goals, create detailed budgets in fancy apps, and swear this is their year. By February, those budgets are forgotten, collecting digital dust somewhere in their phones. Here’s the truth – tracking numbers in spreadsheets won’t magically fix your money problems. I learned this the hard way after years of failed budgets and broken financial promises to myself. You’re probably thinking, “Great, another article telling me how to budget.” But I’m not here to lecture you about cutting coffee or tracking every penny. That advice clearly…
