The past couple of weeks have been exciting. I've been lucky enough to book out of town work in truly beautiful locations offering the opportunity for one adventure after another. From driving around Northern Arizona for a week to networking in Toronto to family time in Michigan to experiencing history in Virginia and Maryland it's [...]
Amboseli National Park in Kenya was my first ever safari experience, back in November 2006. Weyn, a fellow volunteer, was planning a solo visit to Amboseli before heading home and when I got a call over breakfast letting me know that the school where I was volunteering would be closed for the next three days [...]
Most of today was spent copying my very first set of Kenya images over into Lightroom in order to back them up and to look through them with fresh eyes. When I journeyed to Lamu with Karen, Emma and Tessa in October of 2006 I was a baby traveler. Completely in awe and overwhelmed by [...]
Tuesday night found me boarding a taxi at the tail end of a blizzard, shedding my winter coat, and double checking to see that I’d packed enough SPF 45. My destination, you wonder? No, not a beach somewhere exotic - not even a poolside in Florida. Two Turkish Airline flights later I found myself in a [...]

"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 [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
66 Days to Becoming a Morning Person just got a day shorter. Don't worry, I won't be posting about this everyday. Maybe once a week. Anyway, I was in bed by 11 and woke up at 6:15 this morning without too much trouble. I know it says 6:19 but that's because I checked my email [...]
