I’ve spent a good portion of my adult life traveling and it’s one of my proudest accomplishments. I’ve never had travel anxiety or stress once I step onto the airplane, but the moments leading up to crossing the threshold between airport and airplane are pure agony for me. I’ve had this incredible Germany/France trip planned … Continue reading I’ll Hopefully Go to Paris
I’m a huge vacation planner and am already planning my next vacation, basically six months out. I look forward to it all year, month, week...whatever. If I’ve learned anything in my last year of working for my organization, it’s that sometimes PTO is ignored. It doesn’t take long for me to get frustrated, give in … Continue reading Out of Office Replies
In the last decade, I traveled near and far and fell in love both through new places and new faces. At coffee with a friend, we were talking about three words that we would use to describe ourselves, and one that came to mind was, Francophile. When she asked me what a French-inspired woman embodies, … Continue reading Pardon My French
Traveling with G is hands down one of the coolest things I could do. We learned so much about each other and got to explore an incredible place that we hadn’t been to before. There were so many lessons we learned while we were gone for a week & I just thought it was absolutely … Continue reading The Couple that Travels Together
After a day of drinking, it was time to get back on the exploration trail, so we headed to El Yunque National Forest! Fun fact: El Yunque is completely free and is the only tropical rainforest in the national forest system...pretty cool and beautiful to say the least. El Yunque is decently far from Old … Continue reading Chasing Waterfalls
After a restful night, we woke up to the sun through the curtains and the water hitting the shore and smiled because it was time to go on the Bacardí Distillery Tour! This was probably my favorite day of our vacation and it was worth every penny spent. We started off with breakfast at Zest, … Continue reading Some of Y’all Never Had Bacardí for Breakfast
Puerto Rico was incredible...I’m not even going to pretend like it wasn’t the tropical escape that I desperately needed. From incredible food to breathtaking views, it was something out of a Pinterest board. We decided to stay at the San Juan Water & Beach Club and I will recommend it until the day that I … Continue reading Slow M(ocean)
I can’t believe it’s been almost A YEAR since I drove into Waco with a fresh, baby Fenway sitting in my lap. I also can’t believe it’s been almost a year since I first tried to go to The Magnolia Table but was burnt out by the wait. This year, we went and it was … Continue reading Gather Around the Table
I’m counting down the days until Friday when I can set my out-of-office message on and go see my girl, Margs! Nothing is better than having a weekend with your best girls, literally nothing! Whether it’s a trip to Greece or a quick weekend road trip, traveling with your bestie is the most incredible experience … Continue reading Traveling with Friends
Lately I’ve been doing my best to avoid people who make it feel like I’m hard to love. Which you think would be easy, but it is so not. When Corey needed to flee Austin and I needed to get away from crummy weather, Dallas seemed like the perfect place to meet up! We both … Continue reading The Happiest Weekend
