9 months to be exact. I took the bookmark to this blog off of my taskbar and had no intention of logging back on again. Blogging had become something I wasn’t interested in anymore. I looked at old posts and didn’t recognize myself. I closed the book and that was it. I pursued a new […]

Read MoreWe’ve all felt it. The Sunday lazy. The fall-on-the-couch-and-binge-bad-tv feeling. 2019 already feels like its been 8 years long and we have barely cracked the halfway mark of the second month.

Read MoreTheres a golden hour in autumn in Europe. The sun hits everything around you and for a brief few moments your day lights up in gold. Everything shimmers and your shit mood melts away. I don’t like much of Germany. I sound awful saying it. But Germans are intense. Maybe I’ll like it more if […]
Read MorePSSSST…there is a new Travel Campaign in town it’s pretty damn cool. Dazzle South Africa crept into my Instagram feed earlier this month and I was instantly interested and went into stalk mode. I dug and couldn’t find anything and was even more intrigued.

Read MoreDubai International Airport. Unremarkable notes Much like a nightclub in your 20’s, the airport only seems to get busy after midnight. The building transforms from a vacant mall where you wonder how the stores make rent to a buzzing market of people buying overpriced perfumes, Hermes scarves, and gold watches.

Read MoreChange is always weird. Everything about change is uncomfortable, even changing your clothes sucks. Who actually wakes up and looks forward to getting dressed. I don’t.

You will find many glorious travel blogs and sites of the most beautiful resorts around the globe. You can find lists of what to pack in matching luggage. Gosh, the world is full of travel bloggers who take amazing photos that leave you wanting to up and leave your day job and travel the world. I am not that travel blogger.
