Hey guys! So today’s my birthday- I’m 25! As I said last year, I don’t dread getting older because I’m happy with how I’ve spent my time, and for that matter, my birthdays. I rang in my 22nd birthday while solo-traveling in Ireland, my 23rd hosting a dinner party in Paris and my 24th at my cottage in … Read more
After living in France with a host family and then backpacking the world for a year, I was ready for a place of my own. After all, I hadn’t had my own space in two and a half years! So I’ll admit- I got a bit, um… carried away. I spent way too much money on my … Read more
As you may have read, I’m off to Jordan TONIGHT with three friends and fellow travel bloggers: Amanda, Jessica and Julika! The four of us met in Madrid last year, insta-bonded and have been plotting our next adventure ever since. I’m ridiculously excited to explore Jordan with them. And of course, to lay eyes on the Middle East … Read more
Hey guys! As you may have read 2014 was quite a year. And honestly I’ve never been happier. From 17 to 23 my goals were the same: write for a living, speak multiple languages fluently, travel the world and get in shape. And crazy enough I was able to accomplish all of them! But my goals are different now. Now … Read more
I won’t lie- my annual end of the year wrap-up (see 2012 and 2013 here) is one of my favorite posts of the year. And like 2013, 2014 was a big ‘un. In 2014 I took a four-month, round-the-world trip in which I bopped all over Europe, did a Yoga Teacher Training in India, trekked the Himalayas for ten days … 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. (4K a month for a two-bedroom? No thanks.) And though someday I’d love to live in the Bay, it’s … Read more
Hey guys! Today I’m 24. Which officially means I’m in my mid-twenties. Is it weird I’m mostly totally okay with that? First off, I want to thank each and everyone one of you who responded to my twenty-something crisis post. I teared up reading a few of the comments- seriously, you guys are so awesome for … Read more
Hey lovelies! Guess who’s back in the beautiful US of A? This blogger. Life is good- I’m happy to be home, as always, but I won’t lie- I’m feeling the post-Asia blues a bit more acutely than usual. Life here is just so much more expensive and boring (no offense, Michigan!), and I miss the … Read more
Today I arrive in Madrid to spend the weekend with friends and fellow bloggers. You may know them: Julika from Sateless Suitcase, Jessica from Curiosity Travels and Amanda from Farsickness. We’re crashing in a gorgeous apartment provided by Go With Oh! and planning on drinking lots of red wine and consuming metric tons of pata negra. … Read more
So, I’m not going back to Asia. At least not right now.
Being my usual impulsive and FOMO-prone self, I booked a one-way ticket to Europe last week!
But I have a good reason- although 2014 will be the year I finally settle down, I want to go on one last trip to see friends and family in Europe. Plus, my little brother is studying in London – I’d be crazy not to visit!
