I awoke early on my second morning in London. The first day of London, I did a walking tour of Tower of London, St. Paul’s and Oxford Circus. The second day of my travels, I was left to explore on my own. So, I did what any bright-eyed, bushy-tailed traveler on the start of theirContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Poplar Flowers”

From DC to Kiwi … #Blog4NZ
The following is a guest post by Kevin Hutchens and part of the #Blog4NZ awareness. It was almost a year ago that I had to say goodbye to New Zealand and continue on my journey around the planet — but not before I vowed to come back again, sooner than later. I had spent theContinue reading “From DC to Kiwi … #Blog4NZ”
A video tribute to living in NZ #blog4NZ
My friend, Nicole, sent me this video of her time in New Zealand. I hope you enjoy her video tribute to being a Kiwi as much as I did! http://a%20href=
Kiwis — apparently we’re all the same #blog4NZ
This is a guest post by Arlene Brake. Arlene and I bonded over the Fez Bus Tour, hot Turkish men and dancing barefoot ’round the fire. She’s a native Kiwi, originally from Rotorua. I asked her to contribute a post to honor #blog4NZ. Kiwi. No, we are not named after the fuzzy brown fruit. Actually, weContinue reading “Kiwis — apparently we’re all the same #blog4NZ”
Dr. Strangetummy or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Naan
Editor’s Note: The following is guest post written by Katie. If you have read my posts about Bosnia and Croatia, you know Katie.

One year later
365 days. Wow. A lot can happen in 365 days. People can lose their job. Can find another job. Can fall in love. Can have a child. Can lose someone they love. Can see the world. 365 days ago, I embarked on a life-changing journey that would take me through Europe and parts of Africa, thatContinue reading “One year later”
What now?
The End. Well … not really The End. More like The Beginning of the Next Chapter. Where am I now? I am in Las Vegas. Working for a restaurant group as the director of communications. What does that mean? I do a lot of writing, pitching, social networking and eating. I do so, so muchContinue reading “What now?”
Arriving
What’s the first thing I did after booking my plane ticket? I told the “world” I did it. Via Facebook. Via Twitter. Via text message. Via phone calls. This was one of those moments I wanted to share with everyone I knew. I figured it out! I’m going to try and make this work. IContinue reading “Arriving”
Coming clean
My head was pressed against the steering wheel as I cried into my speakers on the phone with Shane. “I just can’t do this anymore,” I sobbed. “I don’t want to be here. I want to be in Las Vegas. Or Europe. I am so stuck!” It had been more than a week since IContinue reading “Coming clean”
You got to have faith
“I want to move back to Las Vegas, for real,” I said, turning to my best friend, Shane, who was driving us to his parents home so I could see them before I left town in a few hours. “No, you don’t,” he said. “D, I know you.” He was right. There are very fewContinue reading “You got to have faith”
