    Here we go! Vacation Creation Season 2 is officially beginning to cast!

    If you haven’t seen the show (Saturday mornings on the CW), we take deserving people/families/couples on a trip of a lifetime. Throughout this season, Tommy Davidson and I have had the honor of witnessing a marriage, multiple vow renewals, help families heal from losses, and give performers a chance of a lifetime to headline a show on board a cruise.

    As I’ve written before, this has been the most rewarding experience of my life and I would love to give more incredible vacations and make more once-in-a-lifetime memories with awesome people.

    Call, e-mail, or submit here ASAP: https://pitmancastinginc.formstack.com/forms/vacation_show.

    Hint hint: The casting process is quick!

  • Happy International Women’s Day!

    Happy International Women’s Day!

    I am so grateful to be surrounded by strong, compassionate, and successful women. These ladies- and many more who are not pictured- have inspired me to be more generous, encouraged me to go bigger with my dreams, and when I needed it the most, assured me that I am enough as I am today.

    It’s a weird time to be a woman. We are still defining our role. We are told we can’t have it all – or at least at the same time – but our ambition and our drive says that we can defy the thousands of years of cultural precedents telling us that our true role is at home or that we are not equipped to have a seat at the table. But I see examples of women having “it all”, not just on television, but within that very collage. And you have no idea how important it is, when life seems to be throwing every curve ball at you to fail, to have those people in your life to inspire you to move forward.

    So today, I celebrate women! We have it hard in this world, yet we make it through. There is nothing like a woman’s compassion, loyalty, and support- and we are making this world a better place!

    P.S. Big shout out to all the boys who support us girls. You are truly loved and needed!

    Telluride Guide: Should You Go or No?

    I’m back on YouTube!

    If you’re new here, I have a channel specializing in travel tips called How 2 Travelers. My favorite series on the channel is Go or No, which is an informative guide of a place that concludes with my honest assessment about the destination. This can cause a bit of controversy, but I’ve never been one to shy away from a bit of fun discussion.

    What do I think will be the most controversial part of this review? The fact that I DIDN’T like award-winning Brown Dog Pizza. This is the holy grail of Telluride. I’m talking two hour waits to get in. It specializes in “Detroit” style pizza (is that a thing?). I’m from Detroit! I love pizza!  What’s not to like?? Well, the pizza. OMG!! Don’t worry. I’ve got my YouTube Comment Helmet on and am ready for the trolls.

  • Flashback Friday: MLS Season Opener with the Portland Timbers

    This week marks the start of the 2017 MLS (Major League Soccer) season. It is a special moment, because exactly this time last year I was in Portland for my first MLS game and my first time as host of MLSsoccer.com’s Get Me In There. And boy was I spoiled!

    The Portland Timbers fans are heralded as some of the best in the league- and they did not disappoint! I helped prepare the tifo, which is a very large banner or cards that goes up over the crowd, I received a cheat sheet of all the cheers so I could use my off-tune vocal chords, and I got to meet the iconic Timber Joey, who chainsaws off a piece of log every time the Timbers score. Oh, and I got to hang out with Timbers star Nat Borchers who has to be the most down to earth person I’ve ever met. We grabbed a bunch of Heineken, which we had thanks to our sponsor, you know, Heineken, and gave them away to fans who were camped out waiting to get into the game that was still 24 hours away. Not sure if that’s exactly legal, but, uhhh, we “allegedly” did it- okay?

    Cool dude. Cool town. Cool video. Check it out above!

    Heli Skiing with TV Land

    What is Heli Skiing?

    It’s where you take a helicopter to the top of a mountain and go down its fresh powder. To put that into perspective, I was above where they let off the explosives for avalanches. Yep, 13,400 feet above the Rocky Mountains and I made it down in one piece. Above is the proof.

    What You Won’t See In My TV Land Video:

    You know the lyric in America, The Beautiful where it says “For Purple Mountain Majesties”? Well, now I get it. When I was on top of Potosi Peak, the mountains didn’t look white, they looked purple. I thought my perspective was so unique, until our guide politely called me out, saying, “Well, yeah, that’s why they call it purple mountains!” Duhhhhh. So, next time you’re above the Rockies, don’t be me, be the guide, and point out why America, The Beautiful has that lyric. You’re welcome. 😉
