Last year I traveled to 7 different countries. SEVEN. How ridiculously privileged is that?! Traveling is not always glamorous or even easy. There’s an exhausting amount of planing and logistics involved. There’s a lot of pre-work that needs to be done so there’s room for spontaneity afterwards. There’s budgeting – specially if you […]

It’s been a beautiful summer. Riding bikes through Massachusetts tiny towns, unlimited amounts of ice cream with hot fudge sauce and meeting lovely, mad people who make me laugh like there’s no tomorrow.

I’m a sucker for a good metaphor, so that must explain why I loved Garden State so much when I first watched it years ago. I’ve never watched it a second time and I’m afraid if I ever do I’ll fall out of love with it a little bit, so I’ll probably keep it that […]
