Springtime in London is just darling. Sunshine, stunning wysteria, and that perfect temperature weather where all you need is a light jacket. Sure, there are rainy/colder/windy days, but so far I’m impressed by London’s springtime game. This month, I took advantage of two bank holiday weekends (read: days off work) to visit Sweden, exploring Stockholm and … Continue reading #Take12Trips: April
I feel as though I was barely in London during March- this month’s activities have me questioning where the time went. I kicked off the month with a week in Austin and Marfa, Texas. I’ll always love Austin, but y’all- Marfa really took me by surprise. I wasn’t expecting to fall so hard for a west Texas … Continue reading #Take12Trips: March

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
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
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
As 2020 drew to a close and 2021 began, I reflected on a year that looked wildly different to anything I could have imagined. Near the end of December, I joined a meeting where dozens of people shared things they were grateful for- silver linings, if you will. As happy as I felt for all … Continue reading Finding Gratitude in 2020, and What I’m Planning in 2021
Known as Colombia’s second largest city, Medellin is also one of the world’s most innovative. Nicknamed ‘The City of Eternal Spring’: the weather is generally good year around.
