The Blog…

There’s no filter over here. I’m sharing it all - the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We have juicy travel confessions, travel hacks and tips, city guides, and monthly recaps, in case you’re friends and family (or a very kind stranger) who actually cares about the highlights, lowlights, and funny stories from my travels! And trust me - there’s too many hilarious stories to keep up with.
