Seattle, Washington was never on my list of must-see cities. In fact, when given the opportunity to visit it a while back, my chief - and possibly only - concern was getting to visit the original Starbucks.
I traveled there on a school trip and stayed for only a few days, but despite my short visit, I really feel like I got a feel of the city. And what a city it is!
Read MoreA few years back, I was living, working, and studying abroad. I was getting my Master’s degree in Tourism Marketing a The University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. During my program, I had the distinct pleasure of being of studying abroad - during my study abroad - in Spain for a short time.
Read MoreI’ve always been really into music. I love that feeling when you hear a song and it really resonates with you. When you feel connected to a song’s message, almost on a spiritual level.
Read MoreWhat can I say about winter in Geneva, Switzerland other than what’s not to love?
Read MoreVisiting Zurich, Switzerland was literally a happy accident. I ended up on the wrong train and traveled hours away from Geneva, where I was meant to be visiting. Other than the extremely high train fair, there was nothing about this oopsie that didn’t turn out to be a win.
Read MoreI have always loved Detroit. Even throughout its rougher years, and despite the fact that I’ve always lived more than a few years away; Motor City has always had a special place in my heart.
Read MoreSo, there’s this magical place that has everything you could ever need and some things you didn’t even know you wanted. It’s a colorful, exciting place that brings so many people joy. No, I’m not talking about Disney World or Santa’s Workshop. I’m referring to a place that you probably have not far from your own backyard. I’m referring to the Swedish masterpiece that is known as IKEA.
Read MoreHoliday shopping, while fun, can be daunting for even the most avid shopper. Thankfully, I’m here to make it a little bit easier.
Read MoreI have a very unique history with my neighbors to the north. When I was younger, I got it in my head for some unknown reason, that Michiganders and Canadians didn’t get on and it was basically my birth right to hate them for it. I spent years trying to explain to people why I didn’t like Canada or Canadian - trying being the operative word.
Read MoreEach day I discover more beauty to see in my new backyard. Ethan makes it his mission to show me what I’ve been missing on this side of the state for the last 25 years and he is doing an amazing job. After months of exploring, I definitely have a new-found love of my home state. Hopefully my photographs can inspire you to do the same in your home.
Read MoreBeing a Western Michigan girl, I never had too much of an opportunity to explore the Eastern side. Until I met Ethan, I had no idea how many gorgeous places I’d been missing over here. Recently, I was going through some of my photographs from 2018 and I noticed just how many gorgeous placed I’d gotten to see since last year.
Read MoreI have always had a lot of anxiety about my health.
I wouldn’t consider myself a typically anxious person, but as soon as I think I’m coming down with something, my panic level hits the roof.
Read MoreI have a lot of issues with a lot of things. Pretty much everything irritates to on some level.
As you might have guessed, I’m not much of a people person because of this. Once, at university, I was challenged to make a list of all my pet peeves and read them aloud to a group. I filled a page and then some; people were getting bored listening to them by the end.
Read MoreIt’s November. How did that happen? Where did 2018 go? Sometimes I feel like one blink and a massive chunk of my life is gone. *poof*
It’s been some time since I updated y’all on my life, and what better time than the present, right?
Read MoreOne Friday afternoon, Ethan said to me, “let’s go to Cleveland”. No offense to Clevelanders out there, but without hesitation, my exact response was, “ew, why?”
I’ve heard since I was a little girl from my Ohioan mom that Cleveland was “the armpit of America.” Those are not exactly words that would inspire anyone to want to visit. But, he insisted and being the travel-lover that I am, I wasn’t about to turn down an adventure - even a questionable one.
