# Frequent Travelers Can DONATE Plasma

Coastin Carl — Mon, 03 Jan 2022 07:52:02 +0000

To Donate Plasma or Whole Blood? For many years I have tried to donate blood, but I was deferred (postponed for one year) for two reasons.

As travel bloggers, we don’t usually write about recipes or make up recipes and blog about them. I decided that I had to share my creation of these delicious Sunflower Power Balls. There are hundreds of energy bite recipes online and this one is specific to my tastes. These power balls are easy to make […]

One thing we couldn’t miss, as we walked along the beaches of Topsail Island, were the sea turtle nests. I spent a few days with my girls visiting our friends, the Burke Family, who have a house in Surf City, North Carolina. The beaches of Topsail Island are only a few minutes away and we […]

# Part Time Travel vs Home Life

Coastin Carl — Wed, 01 Dec 2021 23:06:02 +0000

Caye Caulker, Belize I read so many popular travel blogs by people in their 20’s and 30’s and am amazed at how many have skills and can work as they travel! They have no ties to back home. They don’t own a house, a pet or have children in college. They have careers that allow […]

So, after New Orleans, we decided […]
