I have this really weird thing with going to the same place twice. The part of me that wants to see as much of the world as possible (with the little time we’re given to do so) sees how returning to the same place again and again does not “accomplish” anything. Yet, that’s how I…
I’ve officially been blogging for 2 years! My how time flies. I did a recap last year after 1 year of blogging and thought I’d continue the tradition. It’s a great way for me to take stock of what I accomplished over the year and to set some new goals. First off I thought it’d be…
Have you ever had an alcoholic beverage be so strongly linked to a memory of a time or a place? Maybe don’t answer that… haha. One example I can remember is sipping Pimms in London–oh happy days. So when this summer rolled around, I decided that I wanted to have a dedicated drink of the…

There’s an island off the coast of Los Angeles and we haven’t gone yet?! Once I found out about Catalina Island I was instantly intrigued. Ollie and I would be able to enjoy the perks of island life without taking time off work or breaking the bank (I’m looking at you Hawaii). I knew I’d…
Here’s a fact that most of us probably learned in school at some point but have likely forgotten: about 70% of Earth is covered in water.
