Ignoring then embracing my travel intuition

Tomorrow I was scheduled to head to Chicago with no plans in place whatsoever.  As much as this blog may not indicate this little fact, I am not a spontaneous person.  Anyone who knows me also knows that I like to plan everything as best I can, know what is happening at all...

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...

Internet/Cable outtages, a new-ish President, and blizzards…a.k.a. an update on my life

Oh November…you have been a super weird month and it’s only day 7.  I must apologize to you all for disappearing for about a week, but us New Yorkers are still dealing with the effects of Hurricane Sandy.  My roommates and I lost power last Monday night, finally got it restored on...

Very Inspiring Blogger Award

Hello from Utah!!  My apologies for taking a few days to get this post up but I have been running around non-stop! Adding to the fact that I am currently laptop-less whenever I travel due to a hardware issue, it has been a bit difficult to get a post...
