It takes a lot for me to like a city. It has to have a certain blend of character, beauty both naturally and architecturally, culture, and people. There has to be something unique about it, something that stands out. It has to elicit that feeling from me. You know the one. That feeling of ohmygod [...]

I was sitting in bed last night writing in my pretty turquoise journal, all inspired after reading 80 pages of The Alchemist, and I started thinking back over my travels. I actually do this a lot, this whole reminiscing on my trip. I learned so much while traveling and it had such a huge impact [...]

Do you remember how I went to Europe a few months ago? I bet you do. How could you forget? I haven’t told any stories recently but feel like I need to start telling them again, lest you feel all left out. One of the funniest moments of the entire trip was when I was [...]

It’s Wednesday and I am taking part in Classy in Philadelphia’s Where in the World Wednesday series! The idea of WITWW is to post a picture of you in someplace in the world…it doesn’t have to be somewhere foreign or tropical. Just a picture of you somewhere that you consider traveling. Three and a half [...]

Chicago. I don’t even know where to begin. Chicago was…crazy, fun, exhausting, laughter inducing, glee-infested, good food stuffing, plain old AMAZING.
