Mediocre/shit photos. Excellent writing.
Comedic and real travel.
Not blonde. Not skinny. Probably hungry.
Learning as I go. 👣

Accroche avec ma jumelle 😂
Today was one of those days where I entirely derailed from my diet. Chips, an entire wheel of Brie, and EIGHT MACARONS, GUYS. In other words, it was just another Wednesday. Diet starts tomorrow. 🐷
Also, anyone out there working on a new language? I'm doing French for no reason other than I love it. Studies show that one of the only ways to become adept at a language is to be genuinely interested in it. Wherever I've heard French, from Louisiana to Paris to this photo in Quebec City, I've loved it. .

Wow. I found my old travel diary and re-read my entries on my 1st out of country trip which kick started my love of travel. It was so awesome to see how excited and purely happy I was on my trip to Costa Rica! It was trippy to see my old thoughts, memories, and feelings. I think I'll go back to journaling when I travel! Have you ever come across an old journal? .

To what extent, if any, should/does fear play into travel? In this post I get honest, I ramble, and I grapple with a question which has no answer. Feel free to comment your opinions on the post or right under here!

I really wanted a photo of this place. My husband parked the car, walked down the block in the pouring rain, and snapped it for me. I am married to the kindest human on the planet.

I loved Philly. I had no idea it was such a foodie destination! Not in any way selling Philly short as a travel destination, but I want to go back to just to eat at more places! What's your fav spot to eat in Philly? 🧀🧀🧀

*Respect the Hustle!*
Damn, some days. Am I right? I used to really love the grind. I still do, sometimes. But, I can't lie. Some days I collapse in bed thinking, "should I really be this worn mentally and physically?" Up at 5:00AM for yoga & meditation, work from 6:50AM to God knows when, come home to do the mom thing til 7:30OM. More work. Cooking. Cleaning. Work out. Feeling guilty for taking 20 mins to myself when I know I have so many friends to check in with or respond to, and being sick on top of it. The grind is what gives me the ability to travel and do the things I want, but I am so damn exhausted! Some people make balancing everything look so easy. I feel weak when I feel tears in my eyes from overcooking the rice, or when I feel my heart flip in my chest when I get seven new e-mails to my inbox. Lately, I've been feeling like I'm the only one who feels stress just from day to day life on such a physical level. The guilt of feeling stressed just from being a mom and going to work has been eating me alive. Hoping by sharing my truth, I'll feel better! My light at the end of the tunnel this week is a 3 day weekend, my family/friends, and a GIANT BAKED BRIE ALL TO MYSELF AND SOME PJ'S ON FRIDAY! 😂😂 What's your light at the end this week? .

Gimme yo sign,
cause I'm the zodiac killa.

Taken in front of one of Romania's most controversial sites, the zodiac wall of Romania's communist leader, Ceausescu. I've busted my ASS to get my new #blogpost on Romania done by Halloween. It was posted, but due to a crazy unforseen event, I wasn't able to put the announcement up on IG. I get real about ALL of my fears in this post...going out on a HUGE limb in this one! .

Romania is where you can arguably get the MOST value for your money! It has rich history, sick nightlife, and of course, the iconic Bran (Dracula) castle. I've already had people ask about booking a trip after reading the post! Read through and let me know how I can help you plan a trip to #Romania!

I love guided tours! However, I hate that I often walk away from them only to soon forget everything I've learned. This was not the case when I took my drag tour of New Orleans! A huge shout out to the beautiful and innovative @quinnlarouxdrag who took us on the best tour I've ever had! The tour focused on the history of LGBT community, people of color, and of course - the gritty details of the sex work industry! Quinn is not only gawgeous, but SO well versed in her history. Every story became more interesting, I was captivated all day. Quinn tells stories in a way that are unforgettable. Her sense of humor made her captivating and approachable from the get go. I promise you, this is NOT to be missed. It WILL be the coolest thing you do on your trip, especially if you're a history nerd like me. SHE KNOWS HER STUFF. I left feeling a sense of pride having learned the history of so many strong women. I felt that if those women could hustle and make something with close to nothing, I could do anything. Thank you, Quinn for all that you do for the LGBT community. Thank you for building bridges and choosing to radiate light. Thank you for giving me the confidence to walk around in a fierce blonde bob cut wig. Love, me and all 500 of my baby hairs in this photo. 💕

I'm the travel blogger who will suggest wearing a wig, putting glitter everywhere, and getting an impromptu tattoo after midnight. New Orleans, my favorite city in the world. ✒

One of the single coolest things I've ever seen/done! Sleepy Hollow, NY is THE place for Halloween & autumn goodness in travel. The Great Jack O Lantern Blaze sealed the deal! 😍🎃🌓 Where do you like to visit in the fall? @visitsleepyhollow .
