Dandelions are considered a weed yet when we were children, we’d make wishes off of the seed pods as we blew them into the wind. I wonder if anyone does this anymore. Picture taken at Heart Mountain in Cody, Wyoming.
I knew as soon as I said I wanted to take a blogging hiatus that I would suddenly have ten million ideas for posts. And that’s exactly what happened. My brain also almost exploded from all the ideas I had for the direction this blog was going to go in. I was blown away by [...]
I’m going to whine a little bit here on the blog today, something I usually reserve for my poor Twitter followers (snicker) but something is bothering me blog-related so I’m taking it to the blog. Sometimes I wonder why I bother blogging anymore. It sounds like a harsh statement, but it’s the first that comes [...]
I have a closet full of shoes that I can wear on most any occasion. I think every girl should have at least a few pairs of heels, at least one pair of running/hiking shoes, a nice pair of flats and at least one ridiculous pair of shoes that you just had to have, even [...]
The week before I left for Europe last year I was standing in my friend’s apartment chatting with her roommate, a girl I’ve known since I was in grade school, and she asked me what my travel anthem was. I didn’t have one, was my response. She told me I’d figure it out. That when [...]

In honor of this past weekend’s World Cup match featuring Spain and the Netherlands, two of my favorite places in the world, I’m going to feature both today. I’m sad that the Netherlands lost, but glad Spain, an equally [...]
So I’ve started a new job right? I’m back to working, having a routine, packing my own lunches and dressing up. Of course now would be the perfect time for me to start having wanderlust so badly that I’m checking job boards in foreign countries. Maybe it’s because I’ve started reading more travel blogs and [...]
I have blown through two days of work so far and while that may not seem like a lot to most, it’s a big deal for me. I’ve been unemployed–UNEMPLOYED–for nearly a year. That’s a hell of a long ass vacation if you ask me. I’ve been incredibly spoiled by the lack of alarm clocks, [...]
I was sitting on a lawn chair on someone’s driveway completely stuffed full of good BBQ, an amateur fireworks show put on by mostly kids was going off in front of me (and overhead) and the wide expanse of stars looking down on me and I thought, I could live here. I could do this. [...]
