10 Photos That Will Make You Fall In Love With Paris
The first time I made it to Paris didn’t count, although the stamp in my passport proved otherwise. It was over a year ago during a layover in Charles de Gaulle Airport and the closest I got to experiencing the flavor of “The City of Light” was a lemon macaron from the mobile Ladurée cart that was conveniently situated […]
An Open Letter to Travel
Dear Travel, I’ve been stalking you again. This makes the fifth time today—and I haven’t even had breakfast yet. I’ve had this happy addiction for a while now and it shows no signs of letting up. I’m certain of it—so certain that I’ve diagnosed myself with a permanent incurable itch called wanderlust. Everyone around me […]
What Traveling Solo Taught Me
There’s a lesson in everything—you’ve heard this before from your parents, their parents or some motivational quote you saw on Pinterest.

Barcelona. 48 Hours. Let’s Go!

I Went to Europe…Solo!
I am obsessed with traveling. I crave it like a foodie craves flavor. I had been watching flight prices fluctuate for three months before I finally closed my eyes, held my breath and booked my ticket to Spain for my 26th birthday. I love adventures (even though I always get nervous as hell!) and this just […]
Maui and How My Wanderlust Grew
I fell in love with Maui while I was visiting a good friend from college. Maui made me think about things, the deep things. Not your typical “what am I going to do this Friday?” kind of thing. Nope-I’m talking about the “what is my purpose in life?” total meltdown. I can’t be the only one who has that […]
