travel. food. life.
I can’t believe this happened to me. As great as a travel planner I think I’ve become spending time planning for every possible scenario, there’s no way I could’ve planned to get sick, let alone travel while sick, two days before my first trip to London. Ready or not, I was going to have the […]
Paris is a beautiful, yet expensive and complex city, and the public transportation system is no different. While researching for my epic six-day solo adventure, I discovered the cheapest, fastest ways to travel in Paris and decided to share what I learned with you! When I started my journey, I wanted to know what my […]
I would normally shame myself for breaking up with the Nikon camera that served me well, but when it’s time to go for the Sony RX 100 IV, you just have to go.
Traveling Abroad as a Person of Color: The Underlying Reason Behind our Lack of Representation You can’t really pinpoint the moment when “it” happens while traveling abroad as a person of color; but when “it” hits, you are incredible self-aware. I sat on a hard red seat inside a crowded metro train in Paris on […]
Hi. I’m a millennial and I don’t have cable. Whew! That feels good to admit. Sure, it’s not all glamor and sunshine, but I’ve learned to live without it for over six years.

I woke up feeling like I didn’t get enough sleep and there were too few hours in the day to get what I needed done. At work it felt like everybody needed something from me. Emails, […]
I ride the Metrorail (aka- “metro”) every day to work and sometimes on the weekend when I venture to the heart of the city from outside the beltway. It’s the fastest and most cost effective way for me to get to my destination without having to worry about the usual hiccups: ridiculous parking fees or […]
I’ve done something wrong. I’ve been very bad. When I first started blogging in 2016 I thought it would be fun to share what I’ve learned with the world and I still think it’s true; but, I lacked a plan and a weekly planner. Without a plan, I stopped blogging because the no-plan plan isn’t […]
Hey Y’all! On the one year anniversary of my epic Parisienne adventure, I thought it would be helpful to create a quick video about the pass that allowed me to realize a hug portion of my art-loving dreams: the Paris Museum Pass. What is it? Where should you buy it? How much does it cost? […]
