she was a 'wanderess.' thus, she didn’t care about money, only experiences – whether they came from wealth or from poverty, it was all the same to her. – roman payne
I have a lot of thoughts right now. Not just in the present moment but as every day unfolds it seems that my mind is on overdrive. Throughout the 24 hour cycle, the range of my emotions can be extreme. A case of emotional whiplash occurs quite regularly. As the dawn breaks my heart and […]
We are living in a strange world at the moment, one of extremes. It seems that since January I have been playing out in my own mind what exactly this would look like for me. What would it feel like? How could I prepare? The thing is you really can’t. Nothing has quite turned the […]
Everyday I fall in love, just a little bit with someone new. It’s in the tiny movements that make us human, the cracks of time coming from our laughing eyes that draw a smile across my face. A stolen kiss, an act of kindness, the way we stop dead in our tracks when we come […]
Leaving California wasn’t hard this last July. Yes, I would miss the sunshine, blue skies and my family, but I had my Mom by my side. We were sitting in LAX sippin’ on some drinks before I whisked her around Europe. Of course my heart broke a little as I hugged my Dad goodbye. Taking […]
I try my best to keep my politics out of social media. I stand pretty firmly on most issues that I believe in. However, I love a good debate. A great conversation with people who are educated and willing to have it. This summer I visited a lot of WWII sites. Hell, I live 100 […]

Everyone has a bucket list, you know what I am talking about? A collection of dreams, enchanting places and extraordinary spaces that occupy your imagination for years. Just like every thing else in life, everyone’s list is different. Some people wish whole heartedly to have a family, get married in a castle or be a […]
Venice. For some reason, all I had in my mind were pirates with striped shirts and red bandanas winding and wadding through endless canals. A little bit of that yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate’s life for me going on. Curtains of heat hanging heavily over the city and masses of humans getting far too close for […]
From the moment my Mom bought her ticket, I knew Prague was on our list. I was completely bewitched by Prague during the bitter winter, it had winding streets and pastel facades that never faded from my frosted memories. Krakow was now stored in our suitcases as we begun to glide over rusted tracks. Heavy-headed beers […]
My first year of international teaching has officially concluded. The classrooms are empty and the hallway walls are stripped. My energy has been depleted and my soul is craving for some recovery time. Our school has taken over the Warsaw airport and just as summer is about to hit nearly everyone. I am thankful for […]
