Hey… hey you! Yeah you! It’s me. Yeah, you might not remember me. You used to read my blog all the time right? At least twice a week you’d tune in for a new post about which mountain I had climbed that weekend or where I recommended getting a good cup of coffee. It […]
Since today marks the two month anniversary of my move to Australia, it feels like a proper update is due. I have been waiting patiently for the day that it felt right to finally pour my heart out to my keyboard and talk about how my life is here in South Australia and today is […]
Once again I find myself in a familiar position, remarking how another year has come and gone. If you remember, last year I wrote about all of the unbelievable places I traveled to in 2016. By 2016’s last day I was single, spending my birthday and the new year in a hot place for the […]
I have been looking forward to last Thursday for two years. Why? Because Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday on this Earth (and I love Christmas). Since I missed Thanksgiving at home last year, my excitement levels have been through the roof in anticipation of this week full of family, fun, and feast. A seemingly endless […]
…The USA! For three months! Everyone I run into keeps asking me the same series of questions? What are you doing? Where is all of your stuff? Where are you living? After a year and a half living in one of the world’s most beautiful lands (says the girl who has so much more to see), […]
One year ago, I leapt from Connecticut to New Zealand semi-blindly. I had no idea I would meet a girl online inviting me to Waiheke Island. I had never even heard of Waiheke Island—Waikiki, yes, but this other place, nope. For three months I lived and breathed Waiheke sunshine and island life. It took hardly any […]
It amazes me how quickly this year went by. 2016 had terribly deep up’s and down’s for me on a personal level and in regards to the world as a whole. Overall, I feel so grateful for the opportunities and support this year brought to me. Beautiful people have walked into my life this year and some […]
I like to believe that I am a proper northern girl. Not only am I from the Northern Hemisphere of the world, I’m from the northeast of the United States–a region that receives some of the most brutal winters. I’m talking power outages and snow up past the top of the doorway. During my […]
You may or may not have noticed the silence over here for the last few weeks. Part of that is due to my move back to Waiheke Island where I have been in a constant state of go-go-go. Part is a result of the recent goings-on in the United States. I have been in a […]
It’s scary at first For the first week, I was terribly scared to sleep in my car. I can admit that openly. I would find a place on the side of the road or in a parking lot. I would lock all of my doors while attempting to cover my windows so that strangers could […]
