In early June this year my job took me to Phoenix to work a conference. It was my first time ever in Arizona and coincided with a milestone birthday for me, so I decided to extend my trip to be a workcation, which involved renting a car and driving down to Tombstone with a two... Continue Reading →
Last summer I had the pleasure of attending a few days of the Mubadala Citi DC Open, which I added onto a weekend trip to Richmond, VA. I can't recommend the DC Open enough for any tennis fans who live on the east coast. It's a fun and affordable way to see tennis from top... Continue Reading →
2024 for me has been the year of the bleisure trip - I've been fortunate enough to take several business trips this year, and being tight on money now that those student loan payments have kicked back in post-pandemic (*sigh*), I've used my opportunities this year to add on vacation days to my business trips....

Aside from being the state capitol, Annapolis is next best known for being the home of the United States Naval... Continue Reading →

Laissez les bons temps rouler! As a solo traveler who likes... Continue Reading →
New Orleans is a cultural melting pot, and its mixture of African-American, French, and Spanish influences has yielded some of the best cuisine in the United States if not the world. I don't think I've ever strategically planned out individual meals on a trip as much as I had to with New Orleans because there... Continue Reading →
Most of the time when I travel to a new city, I see what I need to see and then move on. Not New Orleans. I spent four days in NOLA in March to attend Wanderfest 2022 (Read: Key Takeaways from Wanderfest 2022) and even with plenty of time I built into my itinerary to... Continue Reading →
In March 2022, I traveled to New Orleans, Louisiana for Wanderfest 2022, the inaugural outdoor travel festival for women hosted by Wanderful. If you aren't familiar with Wanderful, it's an amazing membership community that connects women who love travel, providing opportunities to share tips and resources, come together for social events, and host fellow Wanderful...
