Last winter I went to Grand Cayman for a week of incredible diving and sunsets. I've only just gone through the photos... You see, that was a problem I always had as a self-employed photographer. I'd work my tail off for my clients and finally save up enough money to take a trip somewhere amazing where I [...]
I've been really touched by the positive response I've had to a misquotation in the Winnetka Current. Please take a moment to read my actual views on marriage and travel.
Very exciting things happening! Please follow A Lady Away for updates on the DTour competition and my upcoming European Adventure!

For the past three days, I've woken up on my own, minutes before my alarm. I'm taking this as a good sign. Though, I've learned, that just because my body is awake, it doesn't mean that my brain follows suit. Typically, from 6:15 to about 7am I sit and stare blankly. Even coffee isn't helping [...]
