Hey guys, I'm Philip but you can call me Phil. I'm obsessed with sports, hiding out in cool hotels, and hiking everything and anything.

I guess most people would describe me as a planner, an introvert, and a pessimistic optimist who always wants to believe the best in people. Even though Kelsey is the main driving force behind this blog, I'm here to help when needed.

Kelsey always says I'm the brains behind the whole blogging operation and the Schaub operation as well. Between being the numbers guy, editor-in-chief, and trip planner, I like to think I'm somewhat helpful around here.

Even though I am a homebody and like staying in, I still love adventures. I try to plan a trip every month, even if it's just a small weekend getaway.

Travel

I love to travel, especially if it is to a place that's rainy and overcast. Washington is by far my favorite US location.

Similar to the Washington weather, I also have a love for England. This probably has a little bit to do with the English Premier League but the weather is a plus.

If I had it my way we would work three months then take three months off to vacation. Actually, my way would be to just not work and always vacation.

It may seem odd but I love planning vacations. A full-time vacation planner could easily be my role for this travel blog.

Perfect Vacation

My dream vacation involves staying in a super nice hotel and NEVER LEAVING except for food (pizza and subway) and exercise.

I love hiking so a challenging hike is always a bonus. I love hiking so much I've made entire trips centered around hiking. 

Vegas and gambling are always good bets (get it?). I typically stay in the hotel as much as possible but ill leave for a sportsbook or blackjack.

Life

Side Hustle

For a little extra income, I work with Amazon on something called MTurk. I do simple tasks that a computer can't do while getting to watch sports.

I am working on sports gambling but don't go crazy with it. I'm currently creating an entire set up and putting a lot of time, energy, and thought into it. Think spreadsheets on spreadsheets of data.

Perfect Day

My perfect day would have to involve Kelsey, working out, and watching sports. Let's throw in Subway again.

Fitness

Soccer is my main passion but with a nomad lifestyle not always possible. I picked up running years ago so that keeps me sane when there are no pick-up soccer games nearby.

Hiking and trail running are also on my list of go-to fitness activities. I'm always down for some exploring.
