If you’re having a bad day, let me share a little nugget of joy I stumbled upon in the depths of TikTok: There’s supposedly a help desk at the Vienna airport in Austria specifically for people who landed there thinking they were headed to Australia. Yes, you read […]
Think back on your most memorable road trip. Some people collect stamps. Others collect sneakers. Me? I collect cross-country road trips. I’ve done it six times. Six times, driving from one coast to the other, crisscrossing this wild and wonderful country. I’ve even ventured across Canada, which, by […]
More than a decade ago, when I first started blogging, I used to dissect society and the workplace through a psychological lens, weaving intricate thoughts together. I traveled a lot back then, writing in depth, layering insights much like the ruins of the places I visited. Fast forward […]
As we step into 2025, I’ve decided that this is the year I make three promises to myself. Not resolutions—I’m too seasoned for that fleeting nonsense—but actual promises. Things I plan to keep because after years of chaos, grief, and general life curveballs, I need a shakeup. And […]

Lately, the term “doom spending” has been making the rounds, and I have to admit, I’ve been feeling a little called out. People are out there splurging on random things, all while worrying about the state of the world. Me? I haven’t been doing the doom scroll on […]
First off—I made it! I finally got away on a trip this year, and let me tell you, it was glorious. Barbados greeted me with all the heat my warmth-craving soul could ask for. Bonus: no hurricanes in sight! Typically, I’m the queen of travel snafus, but this […]
How are you feeling right now? This past week, life decided to play a little game of “let’s-see-how-she-handles-this.” First, an eagerly anticipated international trip, planned down to the last detail, was derailed at the eleventh hour. There I was, suitcase packed, passport in hand, but the universe had […]
