A Global History Geek-Out
It’s one thing to travel to a historic location, but a trip gets to a whole different level when you’re sleeping in history, too. So while I don’t go around reviewing every AirBnB and Holiday Inn that I stay at, I’m going to start sharing my experiences at some of my […]
Skyline Drive is a stunning section of Shenandoah National Park in the middle of Virginia, easily accessible for those driving from Charlottesville to Washington, DC. The drive overlooks the Blue Ridge Mountains and stretches for a little over a hundred miles. This length makes it a short enough to enjoy in […]
My Visit Sometimes travel is heavy. There are places that make you think, make you cry, change the way you perceive the world or yourself. When you go to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam, you know you’re going to cry. There’s a room at the end of the tour, […]
January was a whirlwind of US stops. I spent time in six states: Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia, and New York.

In July and August, I spent some time with my family in Oklahoma. While I was there, I went on some daytrips with my brother to explore parts of the state I haven’t spent much time in. One of the days we went down to the Wichita Mountains Wildlife Refuge […]
At the end of July/beginning of August, I headed to St. Louis to hang out with my sister for a long-needed four day weekend. She’s been in St. Louis for 6+ years, and I hadn’t made the trek out there (bad Steph!) except for a lunch last summer when I […]
