Hi everyone! Inspired by the DC travel tweeters @20sTravel and @rtwdave who did a similar Tweetup event back in November, I figured it was about time Boston got in on the action. Plus, I think my friends are getting sick of me talking about long-term travel. So… the details for Boston’s First Travel Tweetup are …
Wombat Wednesday is a photo series showcasing the travels of Mr. Wombat. Who is Mr. Wombat? Well, he’s a stuffed wombat I brought back from Australia. Why? Because wombats are awesome—especially Mr. Wombat who has been all over the world. Kind of. So last week I wrote about Mr. Wombat visiting the giant pumpkins at …

My Dad really gets into the Christmas spirit (kidding!). Here’s the steps he takes to purchase and wrap gifts for my Mom. My sister helps figure out what to purchase for the gift. My sister packs the gifts in the suitcase (we’re traveling over the holidays) My sister wraps all the gifts. My dad then …
Okay, so I’m not going to claim I’ve got some great secrets for being successful at a corporate 9-5 type of job, but I do think I can provide a few bits of insight. And while this isn’t exactly related to traveling around the world, I think it’s something most of us will have experienced …
Well, the chain letter continues. I was tagged by Dan at Eight Hour Layover (Thanks Dan!) to give my 3 best travel secrets, based on some sort of chain that started with this woman Katie over at TripBase. (If you’re reading this, Hi Katie of 3-travel-secret fame!) I’ve done a fair amount of travelling, but …
I flew down to Texas (DFW) to visit my family for Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has always been my favorite holiday. You literally get to lounge around all day in the house, gorge on food and then take a nap. It’s pretty wonderful. This trip was a little strange because it involved cleaning out the attic and …
So, in case you haven’t been paying attention, my 25th birthday was last week. Part of celebrating involved a trip to New York City, of course. Because I was busy Friday night dancing my heart out at the Metric concert, I left for NYC on the 10:30am Bolt Bus. If you haven’t taken Bolt, I highly …
Music is my weakness. When I was abroad in Sydney, I spent a good amount of money on expensive concerts (live music in Australia ain’t cheap, that’s for sure!). In Boston, I spend a lot of money seeing a lot of shows. Today, I saw Metric (http://www.ilovemetric.com) at the Boston House of Blues. As always, …
So my 25th birthday was on Monday. Coming up to the big day, I had been pretty worried. It felt a bit scary and I had had all these lofty ideas about my future that hadn’t ever materialized. (I was supposed to be living in Brooklyn by now!) Because I was so worried, I didn’t …
