It’s an odd thing. I began this blog with high hopes and aspirations, and full of a gleeful excitement to write and share my stories and adventures and advice. And now…Now, it’s been 6 months since I have posted anything at all. And my last post was mostly an update on my plans. Since June,…
If you’re following my youtube videos, you’ll know that I’m working on a new project centered around budgeting for travel. After several friends asked me about the real cost of travel, I realized this is something that everyone wants to know more about.

Ciao! I have been terrible at posting lately and for that, I do apologize! Life is slowly getting back to normal for me. I have been back to work full-time for a few months now since my shoulder surgery, catching up on bills and getting back into a good exercise regimen. Everything seems to…
