There’s no such as perfect timing—but absolutely awful timing is alive and well and continues to shatter the dreams of spontaneous adventures everywhere. My second chance to visit the Carlsbad Caverns came at a truly terrible time. I was in the middle of moving from Dallas to Germany, by way of Washington D.C, and was… Continue reading Carlsbad Caverns: We’re Going Down, Down, Baby

Exit Through The Troll Bridge: Sedona Exploration
Sedona was not a planned trip. In fact, all credit for my visit to Oak Creek Canyon must go to my sister, and hiking companion for the day, Larissa. The original plan was to visit Sunset Crater (read the post and check out photos here) and then continue on to the nearby Wupatki National Park,… Continue reading Exit Through The Troll Bridge: Sedona Exploration
6 (Hopefully Not Cliché) Inspiring Travel Quotes
Today is a bit of a lazy post. I have so many great stories and photos from recent adventures, but alas, as I struggle to make it through the last stage of the flu while not falling behind in my German lessons, the effort to turn those pieces into coherent posts is beyond me.

“ I think we’re here.” The uber driver threw us a look over his shoulder—part questioning “is this the place”, part subtle hint “alright, get out of my car, I’ve got other fares to catch tonight.” “Is this the right add—” He began, but we were already out of the car and joining the others… Continue reading Secret Concerts, Surprise Line Ups & Adventure Near Home
Abandoned Places: Philadelphia
Maybe it’s my love of graffiti and my constant search to find new examples, maybe it’s my need to “Robert Frost” (yes I made that a verb) my adventures, but I somehow always find myself off the beaten path. In Philly, my wanders took me to an abandoned railroad. Awesome abandoned place + graffiti +… Continue reading Abandoned Places: Philadelphia
Desert Wanders- Seven Falls Trail (Arizona)
I love desert hikes. I love them in a way that’s hard to explain to someone who’s never ventured out into the land of sun, sky, scorpions, and saguaro. The desert has a more subtle beauty–muted greens, dusty browns. And yet, there’s something so ancient and almost untamed about the Sonaran. It’s hard to put… Continue reading Desert Wanders- Seven Falls Trail (Arizona)
Welcome to My World (and Blog)
Hello there and welcome to my blog—a tiny glimpse into my world. I am a collector of experiences, stories, photographs, and fleeting moments, and this is my place to display them. Initially, I hesitated to start a blog. A twenty-something with a blog. Original. I know.
