Working remotely is, in my opinion, a fantastic lifestyle choice- if you can swing it. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last couple years that I've been able to plug away at various projects on my laptop with a nice view beyond the top of the screen. It's been incredible to see all of the places [...]
Chicago: a city full of historical architecture. A city where you can see the skyscrapers from the beach. A city where you will eat the best pizza and the best hotdog. Chicago: the city where my husband and I found ourselves kid free for the first time in years. A city where we made new [...]
I found a new happy place on the West Best Coast of the United States. The perfect place to breathe, relax and retire early, or just escape from the noise of La La Land. Dana Point, California: Where have you been all my life? As I sipped my prosecco on the balcony overlooking the ocean, [...]
With all the lessons I've gathered up over the last three years of travel, I can say in total honesty that I know exactly as much about what NOT to do, as what TO DO abroad. With every "travel hacking" notation I've made along the way, there's been a warning frantically scribbled on my notebook [...]
Returning home after travel brings up many emotions including, but not limited to, angst. It's all very weird after the dust settles and you've made your initial "rounds" of reunions with friends and family. People are "super excited your home!" until life goes back to normal and it's business as usual. You're excited, too, and [...]
It’s so early. I’m barely awake at 5:00 AM, yet I’m rolling out of bed. I had the opportunity to sleep-in; My kids are having a sleepover at my folk’s place for a few nights, so I should be having an especially restful sleep. But I ‘m feeling a little anxious this morning. Because today’s [...]

I have been unable to travel the world as I would like to yet, but I can still say, without a doubt, traveling has been my saving grace. Growing up, most of the traveling I did was with my mom to whatever base she was living on- my mom was in the military but I wasn’t with her all the time. I think that’s where my love for travel and exploring comes from. Being able [...]
There are a few things you're probably doing that make you stick out as a "typical American tourist" (effecting your favorability depending on what that person thinks of the states). Sometimes , depending on the country I've been visiting, people love the fact that I'm American. Other times, not so much. It's been particularly interesting to [...]
You know what it feels like to come home after two years of travel to a place like California? Almost like an alternate reality in which you no longer fit. It feels like visiting a Stepford-type movie set, but its all real life and the "actors" are your friends, family and neighbors. WOW, they totally have it [...]
