Plan well, have fun, travel the world!
Welcome to the first edition of “My Stuff”, where I spill the beans about the stuff I own that make travel and everyday living that much more enjoyable!
What better way to kick off the section than with one of my most prized, weather beating, comfortable, fluffy, and colorful possessions: the Sherpa lined hoodie.
What it is: It’s a cotton/polyester fitted hoodie with soft,
I’m back after taking a short break to get MARRIED! Can you believe it? Yes, the girl who started this blog as a single travel adventurer just tied the knot. Whoever said “time flies” was not joking! I’ll blog about more wedding stuff later because today we are going to talk about the Suite Life. Yup,
It doesn’t make sense. I spent my single years enjoying life while simultaneously praying for a spouse, but within the first few months of getting engaged, at times, I have felt panic and fear regarding my upcoming marriage. What is that about?
When we first got engaged I felt this swift bout of panic enter my bloodstream.
Congratulations! You’ve decided to visit the Musée de Louvre, one of the largest, most famous collections of art in the world and you’ve decided to see it all in less than eight hours. Good for you, you ambitious, slightly insane, over-achieving sun-of-a-gun! That’s what I did…and I was successful in seeing every piece of art my tender eyes could gaze upon.
I spend a considerable amount of time researching my destinations before I go. I read, I interview people who have gone before me, and I watch videos.

Over time I learned to curtail the feeling of being “boxed in” to only the same people and experiences by attending local cultural festivals.
I’m so excited, I don’t even know how to begin this post! Since last June, I’ve been planning a 6-day Paris itinerary, activity packed, fun filled, wonderful solo travel experience to Paris. It is going to be the TRIP OF A LIFETIME! Looking back on how it all got started, I’m amazed at how far I’ve come.
One beautiful evening just before bed a thought popped in my mind (as thoughts often do right before bedtime), “there are so many things to do as a single woman, I should make a list of all the stuff I can do, just because I can!” And so began the birth of this list.
It is by no means comprehensive but it contains ideas,
Let’s be serious- who doesn’t like sweet potato fries? And wouldn’t it be great if you can have as many sweet potato fries as you want?
I thought so, too, so hun and I (see how I slipped that in? I’m dating a wonderful guy, more about that later) decided to make a large batch of fries on a glorious weekend.
The Stressed Out Christian is typing this message at 11:58pm instead of going to bed. Her normal bedtime is 9:30pm because she knows she has to get up at 5:30am to rush to catch the 6am train to work tomorrow.
The stressed out Christian’s inner monologue is like a really bad infomercial. Racing thoughts just keep repeating until you give in and buy that thing you don’t need for 3 easy payments of $59.99 + shipping and handling.
