Musings Each day since the school shooting in Uvalde, TX, feels so heavy, my movements slowed down like I’m wading through mud. What should take two minutes takes twenty. It’s getting harder and harder to compartmentalize, put a smile on, and go about life. This year alone we’ve had to watch a war in Ukraine,…

notes on coachella
Notes By now Coachella definitely feels like old news. Heck, it felt like people were over it after weekend 1.

Travel is my passion and has been for as long as I can remember. If you’re reading this, I’m sure it’s a big part of your life too. I think back on my dreams of seeing the world as a child, how I asked for flights to California for my 13th birthday, and how I…
