Deep in the countryside between Agra & Jaipur is a Dhula Village that is the perfect hideaway for a dose of relaxation.  Our adventure group arrived via a long pothole infested backroad to a quiet oasis outfitted with glamping tents.  We all made a beeline for the unexpected luxury of an aqua blue swimming pool,Continue reading “Dhula Village stay 🇮🇳⛺️”

Just four months since my first visit and I’m again boarding a red eye en route to England. I barely skated through bag weight checks (literally at the max 22lbs max) plus a sling bag, so thankfully didn’t get hit with a painful $75 feet this go around. And my luck continued, as I drewContinue reading “London round 2 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿”

After a week visiting family in Germany, it was time to explore a couple new countries! The train from Stuttgart to Salzburg was an easy 4 hour trek, despite a rather tight 15 min connection window navigating the monstrous train hub in Munich. The seemingly infinite countrysides & quaint towns whizzed by as I triedContinue reading “The Hills Are Alive 🇦🇹 🎶”

This one has been on my bucket list for a while, so my quick European jaunt in October 2024 led to a 9 hour bunk session in my very own capsule room. While there is nothing glamorous about the whole ordeal, it is quite an experience being able to hunker down in a quiet, dark,Continue reading “Capsule hotel 🏨”

Our new, yearly January girls BFF retreat is an easy trek up to Daytona Beach for some sunshine & much needed post holiday recovery mode. Beachfront is the only way we do it! Breakfast is whipped up every day, much to my delight. I have some pop-up work calls to wrap up, so they takeContinue reading “Daytona Beach girls haven”

While I wholeheartedly believe in the healing power of a regularly scheduled girls trip, I can equally find so much joy in the simplicity of a solo adventure. Most won’t understand or harness this time of reflection and rejuvenation, but I have learned over time to embrace the sweet sound of silence….. Slow down. BreatheContinue reading “Joy in solitude”

My 6th of 7 Wonders of the World finally came to fruition on Saturday, March 1, 2025. Our tour group of 16 foreigners (2 Canada, 5 England, 2 Ireland, 2 Switzerland, 2 Greece & 3 USA) left downtown Beijing at 8am en route to the Mutianyu section of the Great Wall of China. Spanning overContinue reading “The Great Wall of China 🇨🇳”

Prioritizing experiences over material things is always an easy call for me. A little (calculated) risk can open up doors you never knew existed & transport you into another dimension of wonder. Follow me on a journey. Would you rather….. Find your happy & be relentless in pursuing that joy that sets your soul onContinue reading “Would you rather…. 🥾🏜️🏞️”

It’s always worth the extra effort (and stress) to see family. And I outdid myself on this one! After a last minute pivot to surprise my brother’s family in Germany for a short fall getaway, I concocted a complicated web of plans to also squeeze in a double whammy to Indianapolis – see my otherContinue reading “Quick Indy visit 🦆🏈”

Being always open for a new adventure can lead to the most amazing experiences! On the last day of our business trip to Sin City, we get a text that the Goodyear Blimp is anchored nearby due to the upcoming Wrestle Mania event. There just happened to be a few open slots for the nextContinue reading “Goodyear blimp 100th yr anniversary”
