Tips for staying safe when traveling abroad alone

Before I launch into my various posts about the beautiful country of Fiji*, I wanted to talk about a subject near to my heart and one that will be of great importance to me in a few months (hint hint!).  There’s been some recent negative press about the dangers of traveling abroad...

If you’ve ever needed travel inspiration…

Hi friends! If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram (if you don’t follow me, what are you waiting for?), you know that I’m currently on a southern road trip.  For the past five days I’ve been eating my way through North Carolina before heading down to South Carolina and...

Historic Annapolis

I’m a complete sucker for historic towns, harbor towns and towns with a central Main street.  Annapolis has all three which pretty much made it love at first sight.  I don’t know why I haven’t spent more time in Annapolis since it’s about 25 minutes from my house but I will...

Black History Month…Travel Tuesday style!

In addition to being a month full of national events and holidays, February is Black History month! I was raised to believe that February is one of the most important months of the year (outside of May, birthday!), and my family and I celebrated tidbits of Black history each...

The 57th Presidential Inauguration of Barack Obama

I wish the story that I have to tell was as dramatic as this title implies but…it’s not. As you know I’ve moved home to the DC area and catapulted myself into DC life during arguably the biggest weekend of the year.  I couldn’t move home without at least...

Big news!!!

Friends!! I have a big announcement to make.  It’s something that has been in the works since around September of last year but hasn’t come to fruition until now due varying factors.  Drum roll please….
