Going to Italy solved all my life problems. When my friend, Casey, a favorite travel partner of mine (who I am had not seen since my birthday, February of 2019 in Tahoe), invited me to join her in Europe for an extension of her work trip, I couldn’t say no. With not a ton going…

Wild West: Mt. Rushmore
Friends! After a brief hiatus, we are back with the Wild West series. Next stop: Mt. Rushmore. Truthfully, before this trip I was honestly not that into MR. I never thought it to be the the most exciting of American attractions and considering it’s in the middle of nowhere (who goes to central western South…
Wild West: The Badlands
I recently got back from a road trip in the good ole American West. A summer must we tackled early! My mom and I drove through South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana to check off our bucket list of going to the Badlands and Mount Rushmore. We snuck in Yellowstone (a second trip for me, and…

travel diary: chicago part 2
We spent a second 90 plus degree day in Chicago having a Sunday Funday in Wicker Park. When I asked friends what I should do and see and where to hang out in Chicago, they all pretty much agreed a trip to Wicker Park/Bucktown was a necessity. More of a leafy neighborhood feel with great…
