New Orleans is more than what to see and do. It's more than beads hanging off of street signs. New Orleans is tasting powdered sugar on the fingers, cobblestones that rise and fall with every step; big porches with small details. It's big music, marching through the streets and gentle hospitality.
When sunny skies meet mirrors and metal, the Chicago architecture pops before it melts into the clouds.
Finding Freedom in Historic Concord, the place of the Revolutionary War and birthplace of America. I love to travel because I love to discover myself, who I am, what I want, and declare my freedom to pursue my dreams in each place that I experience. There is no better place to seek out finding freedom in historic Concord, but perhaps not for the reasons that you...
The chance to hike Walden Woods where Henry David Thoreau wandered every morning, to dip my toes into Thoreau's own pond and see the actual site of his cabin where he wrote his philosophies that continue to inspire wanderers, travelers, humanitarians. To see a place that both inspired and reflected his sense of simplicity, appreciation, gratitude, and kindness.
Want to really feel Fall? Want to breathe in crisp air and crunch leaves under your feet and make those family moments you always imagine in your mind (but never quite turn out that way?) like apple picking and hayrides?

If you had told me the second time we were reunited, we would start out our Saturday night visiting libraries and churches, I would have thought we were living in a parallel universe. The Boston Public Library is more than books; I would describe it as...
This quote sums up how it felt to be reunited with one of my best friends from Chicago, and one of the original Gals, “M”. The purpose of our trip wasn’t to check sightseeing icons off our list. We leisurely strolled through the city on a hot, humid July Sunday morning. It was our last day exploring the city of Boston. We had just had breakfast at a...
This is the stuff American Summer Nostalgia is made of. It’s National Ice Cream Day, but it’s also 87 degrees and about a million percent humidity. It’s also a sunny summer day in the middle of July, and it’s the best homemade ice cream on the east coast. Enough reasons to go to Kimball’s Farm. Part of the joy of finding meaning in...
“My life was being raised in a small town on a farm, and I guess when I was ready to rediscover who I was again, it was like it called me back home,” said M. We turned the corner where the General Store sat. The chalkboard announcing the Farmer’s Market This Saturday. Sunlight was streaming through the giant trees that lined the hilly...
