I'm not usually one for New Year's resolutions- I believe you can start making a change any day of the year, and January 1 doesn't need to be an end-all, be-all catalyst. But, last year, I wanted to set a goal for myself that I could track and talk about. And, with starting a travel blog on my … Continue reading 2017 #Take12Trips

Looking Back at 2016
Looking back on this year, I'm beyond grateful for the travel opportunities I had to venture to new and familiar places on my own, and with people I love. Thinking back to the first time I planned a solo international trip in 2015, it seems crazy to think that's now the norm. I feel like … Continue reading Looking Back at 2016
#Take12Trips: November
Paraphrasing one of my favorite quotes- the bad news is time flies, but the good news is you're in charge. I feel like yesterday was just October 31, I can't believe it's already the last day of November! Before I talk about this month's travel, I do want to acknowledge this was a tough month for … Continue reading #Take12Trips: November
#Take12Trips: October
October kicked off in a city that's become one of my favorite places, Paris. My first time in Paris, I liked the city, but didn't love it. This trip, I stayed in Le Marais and spent the majority of my time just wandering, stopping at cute wine bars and gardens as I went. There wasn't much of … Continue reading #Take12Trips: October
#Take12Trips: September
September was an exciting, busy month. Labor Day weekend took me to Copenhagen for a quick introduction to Denmark. Two weeks later, I returned to Europe for 13 days traveling throughout Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich and Paris. Last fall, I promised myself I'd attend Oktoberfest this year. Working back from time planned in Munich, I decided to explore another … Continue reading #Take12Trips: September
#Take12Trips: August
Much like June and July (sensing a trend, yet?), I stayed local. The truth is I don't like traveling in the summer. It's when cost to travel to most destinations is highest, in part because everyone travels at this time of the year. Even though I stayed local this month, I had every intention of checking … Continue reading #Take12Trips: August
#Take12Trips: July
Can't believe it's already August! Even though I'm over the hot, humid, sticky weather, and excited for a fall filled with travel, I can't believe how fast summer is flying by. Like June, I stayed local for most of the month. Instead of leaving the city for the long holiday weekend in the beginning of July, I opted … Continue reading #Take12Trips: July
#Take12Trips: June
It feels like I was welcoming June and the unofficial start of summer just last week, hard to believe it's already July! This month, I stayed local for most of the month- trying new restaurants/bars and checking out cafes in nearby 'hoods. With time to relax, I also started going to a meditation studio in the … Continue reading #Take12Trips: June
#Take12Trips: May
After a month filled with weekend trips and a week long vacation, I needed some time to get back in the groove of things. In May, I stayed in the city, and ventured to Bushwick, Brooklyn for a day-trip. I've been to Bushwick once before, but didn't go out there with the intention of actively checking … Continue reading #Take12Trips: May
#Take12Trips: April
After a few weekend trips (Philly for a race and Cape Cod for a wedding), and a vacation to Seattle and Tulum, I'm ready for a few weeks back in the city. As much as I enjoy traveling and experiencing new things, there's always anticipated comfort in coming home and getting back into a routine. This … Continue reading #Take12Trips: April
