I spent the last week in Pennsylvania on a long overdue trip to visit my family. My one grandma (dad's mom) went into a nursing home a few months back and my other grandpa (mom's dad) is growing disconcertingly frail at home. I lost an aunt a few months back, and my nieces and nephews are growing up too damn fast. We crisscrossed the state to see as many people as we could, and I spent something ...
Exploring London Neighborhoods
I love exploring big city neighborhoods. I always seek out the major attractions for photo ops, but I usually prefer wandering the places where people live, work, and eat. We stopped in London for a few days in August at the start of our summer European adventure with no plans, other than a local history tour (post coming soon) and did just that. I had put off finding a place to stay ...
Pomegranate Terremoto: A South American White Wine Cocktail
A few months ago, my husband's company founders moved down to Santiago, Chile to join an incubator program for tech startups. Every day on their calls, Kevin gets a new update on the long hours they are working and--unfortunately--how they haven't had much time to get out and explore. We are glad they are working hard to get the company off the ground, but I'd love to see them get out and ...

Tip: Hang out with travel writers. We do some fun stuff and we're always looking for travel companions! I had never visited Sonoma in the fall, and I was blown away by the vibrant fall colors in the Sonoma County ...
My Kind of Selfie
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Holiday Inn Express. All opinions are 100% mine. I’m not a fan of selfies. I’m generally of the opinion that the only good portrait is one that someone else, with full range of motion and full control of the camera, takes of you. I remember the time back when yet-to-be-named “selfies” were a last resort—something you did while traveling to get ...
Travel Guide: Humboldt County, California
"Four more hours?" We had just survived the Bay Area's Friday rush hour traffic and stopped for gas in San Rafael. The drive up to Humboldt County was longer than Kevin and I had remembered. When we pulled into our friend's house in the woods near Eureka that night, I breathed in the crisp air, saw this sky full of stars, and remembered why the long drive was worth it. I didn't think ...
