What I Didn’t Know I Knew

29 August 2010

Before I had this blog, I had a blog. When I was studying abroad and again when I was working in London I maintained a lovely little blogger blog. Before this beautiful monster of a blog existed, my aims were sweet and simple. I wanted to keep in touch with the people at hone, and [...]

I’m leaving the United States indefinitely exactly one month from today. I’ve given my notice at work and told everyone I know, so there’s no going back now. Everyone keeps asking me how excited I am and the truth is- right now not so excited. Not even nervous. Right now all I can feel is [...]

In Rome, Past is Present

17 August 2010

Rome is enormous, and that’s why I love it. It’s not just that it’s a big city (although it is), or that it has an unmistakable frenetic energy. Rome is one of those European capitals that is truly epic. It’s history stretches two and a half thousand years back, far past the time of Jesus [...]

A Roman Holiday

10 August 2010

I wasn’t actually in rome for Christmas, just until December 23rd. It sure felt festive though: It was a great time to visit; festive and cheery, lacking in tourists and good weather. It might have been geography, or just luck but compared to chilly Venice and Florence, Rome was downright pleasant. At times it seemed [...]

What I’m Taking With Me: Memories From Ocean City

8 August 2010

16 Comments

I spent last weekend out of town at the least glamorous beach on earth. No palm trees or glistening white sand for me. I barely left the tri-state area. I went on holiday to Ocean City, Maryland. And it was glorious. If you’ve never been to Ocean City, you really aren’t missing all that much. [...]

Finding the “Real” Italy in Florence

27 July 2010

27 Comments

After Venice, the next stop on my mini-Italy tour was Florence. Unlike the canal city I’d never had my heart set on visiting Florence, never dreamed about it as a kid. Still, Florence has a reputation for being well loved, and I stuck it in my itinerary in hopes of getting a picture of what [...]

Uncanny Venice

20 July 2010

All my life I wanted to go to Venice. As a little girl, looking through my parents National Geographic, I used to clip photos of this magical and mysterious city. The streets were made of water! This exotically subversive idea delighted my 8-year-old brain. The fact that it was sinking added a sense of urgency. [...]

My Top 4 Favorite Hostel Memories

While I countdown days and hours and make endless preparations for my upcoming trip, I’ve also been spending some time reminiscing about my past travels and what’s unique about the spirit and fun of backpacking. This got me thinking about all of the strange funny things that have happened to me while staying in hostels. [...]

The London Book Project

If you haven’t been paying attention: I really love to read. I’m a total nerd of the English major variety. My room is overflowing with books that I can never seem to whittle down. I’m such a nerd I even named my cat after TS Eliot: Awhile back I wrote a guest post for Sharing [...]
