“So why’d you decide to go to Portugal?” There could be any number of answers: the history, the beaches, the nightlife, the food, the people. My answer? “I found cheap plane tickets.” Yes, I went to Portugal not because it was on my bucket list (although I had heard great things about the country) nor…

Yoga-ing Around Iceland :)
Yoga and travel are two of my favorite things. And when you travel with your best friend who also happens to be a photographer, you naturally fall into the role of “model” for the trip. Now, I’m not very natural when it comes to being in front of the camera (that’s what my younger sisters…
Exploring Boston
When friends move away, it’s always a bittersweet time. Bitter because now I can’t see my friends very often. Sweet because now I get to go visit them and explore their new city! So after a year of saying I was going to make the trek out to visit my friends who moved to Boston,…
My Iceland Adventure
A few years ago, I had a brief layover in Iceland. While I was in Reykjavik, I decided I was going to come back and explore this beautiful country one day. So I did! When I found cheap plane tickets, I quickly enlisted my friend Janine, and we made our way to this beautiful country filled…
Travel Light
Ever since I was young, I’ve taken packing as a personal challenge: to find the smallest possible bag for my trip. Going on family vacations, I’d be the one with a backpack while other family members carried 2-3 bags (not that there is anything wrong with that — just different styles of traveling). As I travel…

The promise of an open home, a little daydreaming, and in a few minutes of rash decision making, tickets to Cancun were booked! After an invitation from one of our coworkers who lives in Cancun, my coworkers and I decided to move our mini office force to vacationland for a few days. Although I had…
All You Need Is a Few Days
When I was in college trying to figure out what to do with the rest of my life, one thing I knew for sure is that I wanted to travel. Whether I traveled for work or pleasure, I didn’t really care. The thrill of seeing new places and discovering bits and pieces of yourself along the way…
Attitude of An Adventurer
adventure (noun) :: [ad-ven-cher] :: an exciting or very unusual experience Knowing my ever-present desire to travel, a friend recently made a comment about how he couldn’t believe I was still in the area. It’s true — when I was younger, I didn’t think I’d stay in the area I grew up in for very long. But as I’ve…
Embracing The “At Home”
Once you’ve traveled the world and caught that darn wanderlust bug, it can be easy to become discontent living a ‘normal’ life back home. And while I think we can all use a healthy dose of discontentedness to prevent us from getting too comfortable or complacent, it isn’t a big jump to becoming dissatisfied with most…
