It didn’t take long before I was completely charmed with Budapest. I found everything enchanting about a place I hardly knew much about. Cutting down random streets and admiring the buildings that had so much character to them. People saying “hello” not only when I walked into a place but when I left as well … More Bars and Baths (Budapest—Part 2)
When I think Hungary, I don’t typically think wine, but they have some of the best wine that I’ve ever had (and I drink a lot of wine, so I’m basically a professional). One day I decided to book a tour to Eytek, a city that produces lots of wine and is only about a … More Hungarian Wine Country (Budapest—Part 1.5)
I landed in Budapest bleary eyed and feeling the exhaustion down to my bones. I’m sure a younger version of myself would have been able to run off of adrenaline, but my 31 year old body needs more than 10 hours of sleep within a 3 day timeframe in order to function properly. I was … More Langos and Lavishness (Budapest—Part 1)
I’m leaving the country tomorrow, and for some reason, I am bizarrely calm and well-prepared for it.

I’d mulled over what I had done wrong for months. Everyone knew I was being sent to Boise for my tee-shirt selling side gig, and after being sent to Australia last year, it had become an ongoing joke about what sort of cardinal sin I’d committed to be sent to Idaho. I’ve been bitching about … More The Boise Experience
I flew into Indianapolis in early May, ate dinner with my family, and then took off on a 2 and a half hour drive into the wilderness…or as close to the wild as I get as a city gal. My friend, Katie, was getting married at Turkey Run State Park in Marshall, Indiana. I’m pretty … More Disaster Bridesmaid
I’ve been looking to shake up my routine for a while now. So when my friend in Seattle texted me asking if I wanted to join a skeeball team, the answer was obviously a yes. While I feel overwhelmed by the amount of things on my plate at the moment, I also hate the feeling … More Skeeball Queens
I had a weird obsession with the show Swamp People for a long time, at one point trying to convince my dad that we would make a great father/daughter team on the show. It was quickly pointed out to me that I would not be good at any of the skills needed for this line … More Swamp People
I was starving and the thought of making a reservation never crossed my mind as I’m really not that great at planning my life out. So when my friend and I got rejected with hour plus waits at every restaurant we walked up to once we were already starving, I told her we needed to … More The Revenge of the Po’ Boy
