In case you don’t remember, or maybe you missed that particular post, I set a new travel challenge for myself. It’s based off a series of in-progress images that Atlas Obscura wrote about a few months ago. Paris | Eiffel Tower Max and I went to Paris many moons ago. So many moons, in fact, … More Atlas Obscura Travel Challenge: Eiffel Tower
I don’t think I’ve mentioned lately how much I love Atlas Obscura. In addition to their map of obscure travel destinations, they also have a ton of really interesting articles on topics ranging from food to culture to why people hate tourists. Recently, I came across this article and was totally inspired. New goal: travel … More Atlas Obscura Travel Challenge
This kind of came up in a discussion on Facebook because I’ve been using a word out here that I never used in California. And that’s because classic Brooklyn rowhouses/brownstones all have one thing in common: a stoop. Some stoops incorporate a small patio space, but mostly it’s just the front steps to the building. … More Day 46: The Brooklyn Stoop
I was out on the stoop writing for a while, trying to square away two of the jobs I’ve been enjoying the least — hold on. I shouldn’t say that, actually. I love writing of all kinds, and I’ve written everything. Seriously, name it and I’ve written it for clients. Marketing copy Newsletters Product descriptions … More Day 45: Freelance Life
On Tuesday night, I got to talk to Max for about two hours, and it made me incredibly homesick. She was talking about Fogust (seriously, they’re predicting San Francisco won’t see the sun again until September, guys) and warm NYE nights (which I shouldn’t even be thinking about yet) and how it still feels like … More Day 44: Podcast & Homesickness
Trying to find a job in New York is an interesting process of discovery and self-awareness.

Our CEO’s assistant wore pressed jeans … More Day 43: Working for the weekend
I woke up at 6 a.m. with my brain in overdrive and spent 4 hours somehow managing not to call my bff, Max, who lives in San Francisco and probably wouldn’t appreciate a phone call at 3, 4, 5, or 6 a.m. her time. (Unless I was either bleeding or on fire. She would definitely … More Day 40: Life Maintenance & Dog Parks
After my latest update on The Road So Far, a friend of mine sent me this picture. I love seeing these little reminders that life is what we make it. I suppose you might call that mind over matter, but it’s really more mind over emotional well-being. I don’t know where I’ll be in a … More Accept & Let Go
I think I missed something driving through Wyoming and South Dakota. I know there has to be more here than I found, and I’m sure the weather is partly to blame. — The past few days have been hard on the road. I’ve driven over 800 miles since Yellowstone, and it feels like hail storms … More Bad Weather & Rapid City Regrets
