It’s all Happening! (I might be terrified.)


This is my last day in California. In less than 24 hours, I will be driving, and driving, and driving to North Carolina and living there until...I don't know when. And living I don't know where, with I don't know... Continue Reading →

The One Where I Move Back Home for a Bit


I am moving to North Carolina in TWO DAYS. As my lease ended in June, I've had to haul my life to my gracious mother and step-father's house, and pretend to not feel awkward about it for the last two... Continue Reading →

Traveling Alone (but not lonely!) in London


While in London, a city I have been to before, I just wanted to walk. I was so excited to be off the tour bus, out of a hostel (getting a bit too old for bunk beds and drunk strangers stumbling... Continue Reading →

You are brave. You can fly. You are going to Ireland.


This has been my mantra the last 24 hours or so, as I try to give myself a pep talk about my impending trip to Europe. It's the trip I've wanted for so long - Ireland and Spain! I have... Continue Reading →

Now I know why people don’t move…


I've discovered why people don't move across the country: I lost my deodorant three days ago somewhere in my room. And I have to get rid of my Christmas decorations. This is demoralizing. The only reason my bed is made... Continue Reading →

Childhood Diaries should Self-Destruct


"I told a big lie to mean old mom about drinking the apple juice! She sent me to my room anyway." "Gma bought me a Nintendo for Christmas, I just know it." "Janice told me I was her best friend... Continue Reading →

Don’t Talk to Strangers – the Adult Version


I've been waxing poetic about our awesome road trip for the last few blogs, and I apologize (but not really) for the endless stream of instagram photos. Jackson Hole was truly fantastic. But I HAVE to share the weirdest story... Continue Reading →
