Looking for things to do in Breckenridge, besides skiing? That’s awesome! Breckenridge is one of my favorite ski towns as it’s absolutely adorable and only about two hours away from Boulder.

Steamboat Springs is hands-down one of my favorite ski towns in Colorado. It’s low-key and unpretentious, unlike Aspen or Vail. And it offers some of the best hiking and skiing in Colorado. I’ve been to Steamboat Springs several times, in both the summer and the winter. But my favorite trip by far was when I went to … Read more

So I have an announcement! I got a job and am moving to Denver, Colorado, THIS FRIDAY. And I’m crazy excited. While I had my heart set on San Francisco, rent prices turned out to be way too high.
