Cade Morehouse's Blog

                      LIFE COVERING EVENTS Spending time covering events and traveling the world is something I just love to do. I find it relaxing and motivating every time I leave to go cover an event. The cool thing about covering events is my family can come and make a vacation out of it if they choose. Last October I was blessed to cover Bellator 300 in San Diego, California and it had so much for my family to do. Our hotel is usually at the fighter hotel and in this case was on the beach.      WHAT COVERING AN EVENT ENTAILS?

 There are many great blogs out there in the world that have a purposeful meaning or are helpful to people around the world.

Soccer is a world wide sport that grows every year in terms of fans, money and viewership. The reason for that is great writers who write and put out good content covering the famous sport.
