Mostly ramblings about travel, with some tacos and dog pictures
I've had this *thing* about suspension bridges for a really long time. When I was around 8 or 9 years old, I had a complete and total meltdown over crossing one. Like, nuclear meltdown, then and there in the woods. Here's the thing: they have never scared me before. But this one triggered something I'd... Continue Reading →
Confession: I had only seen palm trees once before my March Break on the west coast. In 1998, my father and my friend's parents yanked us out of school for a few weeks to drive down to Florida. I was captivated by the weird looking trees. And recently it hit me: I want to go... Continue Reading →
Basically, this blog post is as barren as the Algodones dunes. Here, have some pictures of sand.
I was a 2ish hour drive from Arizona, so I figured why not? Sometimes the urge to check off a new state/province/country from the bucket list takes over.

I have been in one of those ruts... Continue Reading →
Last month, for the weekend before Halloween, we decided to take a weekend road trip to visit Salem for Halloween. We're big on Halloween, my boyfriend and I... as in, we're having a Halloween-themed wedding next year. The thing about Halloween in Salem is that it's crowded and expensive. We found ourselves asking the question... Continue Reading →
This morning Facebook decided to remind me that two years ago today, I was in Times Square.... getting scammed by a psychic named Gina. I had gone to NYC with a friend to watch Wicked, eat cupcakes out of a vending machine, tour an abandoned morgue*, and see what other insanity would ensue. We managed... Continue Reading →
