    You've heard of wedding crashers, well now there's a new one. Just call me the "tour group crasher"! In this new episode, I discuss how a low-key outing, at The National Gallery, on my final day in London, had me not only seeing some amazing artists and their work but gate-crashing in on a group of tourists that made the end of my vacation visit one of the most memorable times I'll never forget.

  • Flashback: My Journey to California
    Oct 28 2024

    There has been a countless number of times I've told the story of my 2 1/2 day's journey to California from Michigan, by car and by myself, and people to this day still can't believe that I even attempted such a feat. They're either shocked, surprised, or inspired. But this is just the beginning because in a few months, I will be making this same exact journey back to Michigan before heading overseas. Oh, what fun times!

  • Lunch for One?

    It's always a good idea to escape from the hustle and bustle of life sometimes, and get away to a quiet place, just to clear your mind and replenish your soul. On one of my weekends off, I did just that, and headed to Topanga Canyon for a mini trip, which not only lead me to some of the area's hotspots but allowed me to cross paths with a couple, at the beautiful restaurant Inn of the Seventh Ray, for a good meal, and showed me that there are still amazing people in this world.

  • Yoga, Goats, and a Surprise!
    Oct 1 2024

    As someone who has done yoga many times before, I had seen videos and read articles about people doing yoga with puppies, I thought how great of an idea that is to add animals to the mix, because they have a way of bringing that sense of calmness to an environment. So quite naturally when the opportunity to register for a yoga class that incorporates goats came up, I literally jumped at the chance to purchase a ticket and wondered, "it'll be just like doing yoga with puppies, right?". Boy was I in for an exciting and hilarious treat!

    Who doesn't like going to a musical! Well, I delve into what it was like, for me, to truly step out of my comfort zone and venture into this exciting and scary adventure, because this was something I had never done before and never thought I would do. Going to the Six musical by myself was actually a dare/bet, and I never lose a bet! What started out as something nerve-wrecking, turned out to be something absolutely magical.

  • Hiking Hollywood

    Whether you live in LA or are visiting, the main tourist attraction to go to is the famous Hollywood sign. This iconic monument was a "sort of" welcome on my very first hiking trip in Griffith Park, to the front of it, when I moved to California in 2022. In this latest episode, I share how I hiked up to the back of the Hollywood sign for the last time before I move back out of the country, as well as sharing how this hike not only introduced me to some great people, but had come full circle, from the first time.

    After returning from a trip to Japan, I immediately started planning my return trip back to London. I wanted to experience the things I couldn't when I briefly lived there, for a spell. In this episode, I talk about the places I rediscovered and the charm and regal vibe that made my heart smile, that also made me be so extremely happy to be back in a place that I considered then and, on this visit, as y second home away from home.

    Japan has always been on my bucket list, ever since I was a kid. Once I returned from living in London and eventually making my way out to California, I decided that the time was right for me to step out of my comfort zone, travel to Japan, by myself, with only a few phrases in Japanese, and with my faith in God and finally tick off my list this amazing/beautiful place. Even though it was a short trip, who knew I would fall in love with the country.
