Mexico. I have been there more times than I can count. I have lived there, studied there, fell in love with Spanish there (it became my minor in college because of a January I spent in Cuernavaca my freshman year…surprising to a young women who literally saw no use for the language prior to the…
It has been 8 years since I have been to Africa so I decided it was time to go back. Having already seen the West and the North, experiencing the offerings and animals of East Africa seemed like a logical next exploration area on the world’s second largest continent. I chose Nairobi, Kenya as my…
I was in Bali this past August so this post cannot be counted as timely. However, it would be a shame not to document a 2 1/2 hour experience that was one of the most impressionable during my entire month long sojourn in Southeast Asia. This is the entrance to a family compound in…
Laos was one of the 4 1/2 countries I visited this past August (note: the 1/2 country was the 12 hours I spend in the South Korean airport, Incheon.

And she is not just so because she was named by Forbes this year as one of the world’s top ten travel influencers (although that is uber cool), has traveled to over 70 countries (another cool-qualifying accolade) or has been ship wrecked in Indonesia (frankly that is just bad *ss). She’s cool because she has been…
Giddy, joyful and wondrous of the adventures that await are the feelings I usually have when planning a trip. And while all of these sentiments are absolutely true of my upcoming August trip that brings me back to Southeast Asia, this time a few more feelings are surfacing. Note: I usually don’t look quite this fashionable while trip planning….
It has been a long held dream of mine to be on a reality dating show (don’t judge :). I am not sure I can articulate why other than the idea of trying to find love while America watched seemed intriguing…which also led me to believe that anyone else willing to engage in the same…
