About Ashalah
I've spent my life packing and unpacking my life as I've moved around the country and traveled the world. I am never happy sitting still. I'm a New York City transplant living in Boulder, Colorado until I discover what my next adventure will be. I love food, wine, good conversation, laughing until I cry, beautifully designed spaces and animal humor.

New Orleans 2010: The Situation & Foodgasms
Posted on May 1, 2010 | 1 CommentOne thing I was not prepared for when I arrived down in New Orleans was the food. I had heard about the crawfish and the alligator but I figured that my eating habits wouldn’t change that drastically while down there. Boy, was I wrong. About... -

New Orleans 2010: Who Dat?
Posted on April 28, 2010 | 6 CommentsIt 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... -

Chicago and the Blog Love Fest That Was
Posted on January 12, 2010 | 32 CommentsChicago. I don’t even know where to begin. Chicago was…crazy, fun, exhausting, laughter inducing, glee-infested, good food stuffing, plain old AMAZING. This recap will probably not do it justice since it fell in January and January is the month where I forget how to write...
