All Posts
This isn’t meant to be a curated lifestyle and travel blog, really anything but. These posts simply reflect my thoughts, feelings and goals, at any given time, in any given place. Here you’ll find insight on why I started galavanting around the world and what I’ve discovered along the way.
These posts focus on the real and raw experiences of an imperfect life in progress. I hope you enjoy the ride.
Visa Runs, Bankruptcy, and Unlikely Plot Twists
On May 18th, I’ll have been in Thailand for 90 days, so if you know anything about international travel and the dangers of overstaying your legal welcome, you know it’s time for me to…
WanderLOST & FOUND: Barcelona/Breath
In the 13 months since I left the States, I’ve lived in Barcelona, South Korea, Barbados, and now Bangkok. Each place has profoundly shaped me, my thoughts, my emotions, and ultimately, my outlook on life. This blog, intended to be an unfiltered…
Bangkok Earthquake: The Matter of Moments
This was supposed to be just another simple blog and reel, highlighting the week of a regular digital nomad trying to conquer the world from the amazingly diverse and humid streets of Bangkok, Thailand. Friday’s earthquake changed that.
Shit You Probably Haven’t Thought Of… But Should Know: Bangkok
Consider this a candid companion to your Bangkok adventure, highlighting the shit you probably haven’t thought of… but should know… as you navigate this vibrant and captivating city.
Forty Years Late… Yet Somehow, Right on Time
I landed in Bangkok on February 18, the day I turned 40. However, this “milestone” didn’t come with a big party or any fanfare. There was no glitzy photoshoot with an overly dramatic dress, shiny…
But What About the Food?
Okay, by now it’s pretty clear that I’m *not* your typical travel blogger. I also wasn’t blessed with a fine or discerning palate (unlike my son), and even before I went vegetarian, I was never the most adventurous eater. But…
Barbados: The (maybe) Last Hoorah
Ok, I’m clearly WAAAY behind on writing this as I am no longer in Barbados, rather I’m typing this from my cozy little 23-story condo apartment in Bangkok. My final month in Barbados was a whirlwind for many reasons…
By the Numbers: What I’ve Spent, Saved and Blown
When I originally started this series, it was meant to serve as a tracker of all money in and all money out while I embarked on my journey to pay down my debt while traveling the world. However, for various reasons the last six months have been anything but financially viable. Given this, I’ve decided to restructure…
But Did You Die?!? The Hangover Before Bangkok
So… where do I even start? I’ve been MIA, both from my blog and my life, since late October. I was still in Barbados the last time I posted, finally coming to grips (I thought) with where my finances were and unraveling the suffocating tie…
In My Barbados Bag…
While getting my finances in order has been the primary focus of this grand experiment, I have to remind myself (especially when I’m not making as much progress on my finances) that I, as a multifaceted #OGMILLENNIAL woman…
Shit you probably haven’t thought of… but should know: Barbados
Okay… first and foremost, I know I have this in the “City Guides” section in my little corner of the digital universe, and Barbados is a whole ass country… however…
Who I Am… What I Am…
As I lay on the bed under the sweltering late-night heat of Barbados, next to a fan on full blast because AC is most definitely a luxury here, and replaying the events and interactions that led me to this frame of mind, it has become very apparent that I need to be clear about who I am and what I am…
Barbados: Best(ie) Attractions So Far…
So I’ve officially been in Barbados for 18 days and had it not been for the perfect timing of my bestie’s arrival, I would not have made as much progress exploring the island as I have to this point…
#RawTransparencyPost
When I started this journey, and by extension this blog, I promised myself I was going to be very blunt, very real, very honest. As some of you know, I am trying to find my “why” in this life, my purpose, my reason for being here other than my son. I’ve been searching for this why…
Three Weeks Back in Oz…
After three weeks back in the States it feels like a weight has been lifted. I was in the States between my trips in South Korea and Barbados, with the first two weeks being…
Shit you probably haven’t thought of… but should know: Pyeongtaek
The one thing I wasn’t expecting when I initially planned my trip to South Korea, was how much I would regain my focus and drive when it comes to my work…
By the Numbers: What I’ve Spent, Saved and Blown – 2024
Since one of the primary focuses of my travels and this blog is to monitor, track, and ultimately improve my financial well-being, and in the promise of what I may come to regret as full transparency, I’ve decided to keep a running total of what I’m spending money on, including travel expenses and airfare, food, basic…
Cutting the Noise
I know that not everyone will be able to travel the world and focus on overall well-being to the extent that I have been able to (this truly is a luxury, I know). But I wanted to share some of the small changes that anyone, anywhere, can implement.
For All My Basic Starbies Bishes…
The good, the bad and the ugly of the Starbucks in every country I visit. What makes them great, what makes them unique, and which locations leave something to be desired.
Shit you probably haven’t thought of… but should know: Barcelona
Since my decision to travel overseas for at least a year was made on a whim, I sacrificed several things in preparing for the first leg in Barcelona… like doing any research or recognizance on the city AT ALL. I literally googled beach towns in Barcelona, cracked open my laptop to search Airbnb for the best deals and that was IT.
Letting Go of the Known…
Welp… It’s official… The last month and a half on the road, and away from the noise, stress, and “must do’s” and “must have’s” of living the daily grind in the States has helped me not only BREATHE but also make some serious decisions about my future…
One Month Down…
I think I’m going to take the Seinfeld approach with this blog, and just talk a whole lot about nothing, and maybe it will resonate with the other #OGMillennials who don’t know their purpose and are still trying to figure out what they want to be when they grow up.
Why We’re Here…
It’s 4:28 on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and I’m sitting in La Teverna Del Coure, a small quintessentially el Born cafe, sipping a (not-frozen) pina colada, my first taste of alcohol since leaving London almost three weeks ago…
