I would in no way classify my Semana Santa trip as a raving success. By the time it was over, I was exhausted, pissed at the world and in need of complete isolation. Of course, it wasn’t all bad. I saw some beautiful places and met some amazing people...
If you’ve been reading my blog for the past year or so, you know that I love a good old-fashioned road trip. There’s nothing like the feeling of the steering wheel in my hands and my favorite song on the radio while cruising at 70. Unfortunately, I don’t feel...
If you haven’t noticed already, I’m a complete nerd. I’m obsessed with history and reading, and I often fantasize about living in eras that I think are way more glamorous and artistic than our current one (um, hello 1920s!). Before I moved to Europe, all I could think about...

Last week I had the pleasure of attending the opening event for the newest exhibit at the Corcoran College of Art + Design – Ill Street Blues. The college-organized exhibit was an ode to the often misunderstood world of street art and graffiti, as students and street artists displayed their...
Last week I visited the Corcoran Gallery of Art for the first time to view a new exhibit about the subculture of graffiti, rap, go-go and punk scene in D.C. during the 1980s and early 90s. Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1980s showcases the birth of an underground...
