I am aware that this blog is straight slacking when it comes to posts about my home state of California. Which is odd. Because I spend nearly a month in California each year. Normally, in between adventures abroad and within my own country. And I grew up here, so subconsciously my brain is filled with a plethora of information pertaining to the golden state.

I started off 2018 by taking a road trip to Twin Falls, Idaho alongside my best friend of 20+ years. We successfully surprised her entire family, had some unsuccessful runs to Dutch Bros, enjoyed gorgeous landscape, drank moonshine {as you do}, danced the night away, and created memories that will last us a lifetime.

I sobbed in my Uber last night and woke up this morning excited to see my family in less than 24 hours.

I could include a million disclaimers about my lack of presence on this space {gag me, we have heard it all before}, but instead I would rather just write.
Because, ultimately, that is what I miss most.
So, if you would be so inclined, let’s talk about pumpkin spice and everything Autumn {read: nice} shall we?
When I first moved to New York I had much to learn. Some of those lessons were somewhat obvious upon arrival, which you can read about here. Some of them took a few months to digest. Now that I have been living in New York City for six months {I know, whaaaaat}, I am here to share 10 more things I’ve learned after moving here.
