As the sun began to set over the city I now call home, I couldn’t help but ponder the idea that this dream of mine almost didn’t happen. Although I had always hoped to return to the big apple, my plans had been set on another course all together. One just as fulfilling, but with less skyscrapers. Continue Reading
I survived my first east coast snow storm! I did it, I did it!
You know you are that {California} girl when you have co-workers calling your desk, from their desk, inches away, asking if they can help {in any way} prepare me for the storm ahead. I mean, is it that obvious I’ve never done this before? If only everything in life worked that way. I wouldn’t mind having a call service available to offer help in preparation for a shit storm that about to uproot your life. Literally I work with the kindest, most hilarious human beings. But alas.

Overwhelmed does not even begin to describe my last month {yes, it’s already been a month!} in New York City. You can read lengthy updates here and here, or you can skip all of that and simply read about the 10 Things I Learned from Moving to New York City. And if none of that tickles your fancy, you can always just click the small little ‘x’ on the top of the screen because why bother continuing any further now? Continue Reading
Earlier this year, I made the big move to the big apple! It has been both chaotic, and absolutely wonderful. Today I am here to share 10 things I have learned since moving to the concrete jungle. Continue Reading

You can make it anywhere.
Or so Mr. Sinatra said. Continue Reading
What brings you to New York?
This is the question asked in every single interview I’ve been invited to this week. And one of the easiest questions to answer. Continue Reading
“I’ll be home for Christmas” was the promise I made to my mother before embarking on a year long travel journey. I have only missed one California Christmas {I was living in New Zealand, so fair enough?}, and I was determined not to miss another. Continue Reading
So, I’m home. Continue Reading
The irony of being in Britain, on a day we celebrate gaining American independence from Britain. All the while, wrapped up in the middle of Brexit, and Britain determining their own independence from the European Union. What a time to be alive people.
But today also marks my own independence. My last California girl is leaving me this week, so I am holding it down for America solo from now on.
With all of the craziness involving Britain leaving the EU, and the presidential election back home, I am looking forward to four months of vacation in countries less involved in the madness. It is a monumental time to be alive, whether you agree or disagree with the direction your country, or the world, is moving.
For all of those at home BBQing by the pool, floating down the Russian River, and lighting illegal fireworks in the street: I envy you.
Enjoy all of the freedoms we, as Americans, are granted. Rather than taking them for granted.
Happy 4th of July!
