A new way of going down the mountain

7. Learn to snowboard. 3/6/13 Amy stepped off of the lift and leaned against her snowboard. "Where's your coat?" I asked, noticing the lack of her fluffy white, down coat. "I got hot, left it at the bottom of the hill," she explained, "hope no one takes it." "You should have tied it around your [...]

A cover letter for My Destination

It seems like all I have been thinking about lately is the Biggest Baddest Bucket List competition and scrambling to get votes for my entry. Though the more I think about it, the more I think of it as a job application because, if I win, it would be a ginormous advancement to my career. [...]

Send me on my way

I have recently entered the Biggest Baddest Bucket List contest with a pretty amazing grand prize: a 6 months all-expenses paid trip around the world and a $50,000 cash prize upon return. The winner will be reporting for My Destination, a travel company out of the UK, about the experience and will be regularly supplying [...]

Day 8

Some people are, some people aren't and I am, decidedly not. Despite my two years of "early bird" science classes in high school and a summer full of consistent, early morning camp road runs, I have never been able to call myself a morning person. Most days, I work at a desk located about ten [...]

Sabino Canyon

It's been a couple of very busy weeks, my apologies for sparse posts. My sister, Lizzy, keeps pestering me to post something new, "Jenn, you went whale watching weeks ago!" I am currently about an hour into a 5 hour layover at Tucson Airport with the current issue of National Geographic Traveler, my niece and [...]
