New Orleans has always been someplace I’ve wanted to visit, but somehow just never made it there.

A weekend in La La Land

November 20, 2017.Reading time 7 minutes.

Turning a work trip into a mini vacation is something I’ve mastered over the years.

Of all the amazing places I’ve been fortunate enough to visit during my travels over the years, my favorite place on earth remains Pleasant Lake, in Coldwater, Michigan.

I hadn’t been to Washington, D.C. since my 8th grade school trip 20 years ago (omg I’m old), so I was really excited to go back and explore as an adult. My friend Natalie and I decided to take a day off and head down for a 3 day weekend. Three days was a good […]

Back Home Again in Indiana

January 8, 2017.Reading time 8 minutes.

It’s hard to believe it’s already 2017! I was lucky enough to get 11 days in Indiana with my family and friends at Christmas this year. It’s always a bit of a culture shock going home after living in New York City for so many years. My hometown of Auburn, Indiana (Home of the Classics) […]
