What Am I?
Recently, I talked about my existential travel crisis. So why not dive into some of my larger life crises? Between career and personal relationships, I am far from where I’d like to be. And where do I want to be? I’m hoping to really figure that out. It’s truly the most frustrating thing. Knowing you…

Downtown Winter Garden | A Love Letter
When I first moved down to Orlando over a decade ago, I would visit different little towns on the weekend to get to know the city. One of my instant favorites was Downtown Winter Garden. It reminded me of a cute, quaint, homey little town back home near Philly, called Media. With cute shops, good…

Travel Buddy vs. Solo Travel
Traveling can appear very glamorous, but it can be tricky. There is so much to consider. The where, the when, the what will there be to do, and for me, to eat. And of course, the with whom, if anyone. My last few trips have been interesting. Somehow, almost every trip these last few years,…

New Orleans 2026 | The Wanderer Series
The first trip of the year! It felt like NOLA was trying to keep me away. After a failed attempt of going last year, my friend and I gave it another try this year. And it still wasn’t super easy, but we made it! I almost had a Paris repeat situation where my travel buddy…

Welcome, 2026
Hello blog friends! Going into the new year, this blog will change in some ways and stay the same in others. So in that regard, nothing new really. I won’t be making resolutions or setting pillars, and I won’t expect this year to be something magical where everything falls into place. I’m taking it a…

2025 Quarterly Report #4
Last year, my recap was titled ‘She Strived to Thrive… And Barely Survived‘. And this year feels like a part 2 or 3… Or maybe the never-ending cycle. I’ve been doing my usual reflection, and for the most part, this past year has felt like a blob of nothing. For the last few years, I’d…

UK 2025 – Day 5 | The Wanderer Series
I wasn’t quite ready to leave the Cotswolds. But I had a few more foodie spots I hadn’t hit up o try before I parted from Broadway. With checkout super early, I headed out and hung out a bit before the shops started to open up. As soon as I saw Tisanes Tea Rooms open…

UK 2025 – Day 4 | The Wanderer Series
Already my last full day in the Cotswolds. And I made the most of it! Starting off at the Broadway Deli, right next door to my stay. It is of course a deli, as well as a small market with groceries and trinkets. There were a lot of things to choose from. A sausage roll…

UK 2025 – Day 3 | The Wanderer Series
Since I’d been to London twice before, I wanted to check out another part of the UK. I honestly don’t know how or why I landed on the Cotswolds, but I like to think it was because I knew needed that cozy getaway. I started off the morning catching all modes of transportation. It was…

UK 2025 – Day 1 | The Wanderer Series
Warning: this breakdown will be a bit longer, since it was basically double the length of my Paris trip. My small Insta following voted for the daily post style vs a highlights recap. So… Let’s get into it this 6 day adventure! Why the UK? One of the great things about living in Orlando these…
