The Blog – I want to see and experience the world. This blog has transformed into a place where I primarily record my travel moments and ramble about sporadic life stuff in-between. You’ll also find the occasional rant or arbitrary amusement of mine sprinkled around.
The Basics - I am a 20-something living in San Diego, California. I grew up in a frozen tundra known as the Midwest, spent a week visiting a friend in sunny Palm Springs, and moved to California two months later. I went to nursing school, but soon realized I wasn’t cut out for the job (12-hour days… and wounds?!) so I switched my major to Finance. (Yes, the cushy business major.) I stuck with my college job… banking; nevermind that I suck at math. I did the banker gig and now work in corporate doing a billion and one things, but spend most of my day on Outlook, planning events and creating spreadsheets. Excel is my friend…and my nemesis.
I have two stellar kids, one small and fairly normal family, a pack of lovely friends, and will supposedly settle down when I meet my charming, travel loving, hilariously witty, intriguing, social, intelligent partner-in-crime… that (icing-on-the-cake) speaks with a British accent.
The Good - I adore… traveling, inside jokes, red wine, new people and places, a good view, accents, coffee, uncontrollable laughter, European history, books, kisses, lazy days, football, caramel chocolates, music, cheese, art, random moments, all things Italian, pedicures, PJs, rollercoasters, and keeping in touch with old friends.
The Bad – I procrastinate, I have the patience of a toddler, I’m scared of birds and tornadoes, I have a short attention span, clutter stresses me out, confused drivers cause my road rage, I hate being ignored, onions are nasty, my voice carries, regret is one of my biggest fears, I don’t like beer, I avoid scary movies or sad endings, and I have mild OCD about random things like not watching a movie before I’ve read the book.
