During our drive to the jet ski rental place on Pensacola Beach, Lindsey and I discuss all the things that could go wrong. "What if I fall off?" I worry ...

The Pensacola Beach Ferris Wheel
Since I’m home in Florida for the week, I’ve decided to rediscover my hometown, look at it through new eyes. My best friend Lindsey and I reunited last Thursday for the first time in six months and spent an entire day doing exciting things in Pensacola that somehow I never did in my 18 years [...]
Hometown Ramblings and High School Memories
I like to think of home as an old VHS movie I’ve watched so many times I’ve memorized every line, every scene; I can push “pause” when I leave and then hit “play” as soon as I return, and the cotton stalks in the field across from my high school will resume their slow dance [...]
What to Do if You Can’t Attend TBEX
Sometimes your brother’s high school graduation and the world’s hippest travel blogger conference are held on the same weekend. In two different countries. And there is only one of you. Life is cruel like that. Every travel blogger who’s any travel blogger will be at the Travel Blogger Exchange (TBEX) in Toronto this weekend. I’m [...]
I’m Visiting LA for the First Time!
After eight months of living in tech-loving, hippie-friendly, organic-food-eating, Silicon Valley territory of Northern California (NorCal), I’m venturing into Valley-girl-talking, sun-loving, surfing-obsessed, Hollywood territory: SoCal. (Do you like how I tried to include ALL the stereotypes into one sentence?) My friends Nicole and Krissa and I will drive down to LA and stay there from [...]
Meet the People of the Landsat NASA Social
I had the great and terrible task of capturing some of the most amazing people I’ve ever met into just a few thousand words.
I failed.
But please, read anyway.
I Have a Crush on Portland
“Portland is a city where young people go to retire.” -Portlandia “San Francisco has only one drawback –’tis hard to leave.” -Rudyard Kipling It’s really all Megan’s fault. If we are to trace the exact origin of my recently full-blown crush on Portland, Ore., we will find the seeds were planted by my friend and fellow [...]
To My Mom on Mother’s Day
I ran away from home once. I couldn’t have been more than 4 years old. My mom had just dealt me some huge, egregious, and long-since-forgotten injustice. Maybe she’d told me I couldn’t have cookies for dinner, or maybe she’d forgotten to buy me my favorite cereal. Anyway, I’d had it with her. I packed [...]
The Ferry Ride from San Francisco to Sausalito
We nearly missed the boat. That just seems to be the way these things go. We had good intentions, even got to the Ferry Building early. Yet, somehow, there we were, sprinting to the dock just seconds before the boat’s departure. But then we faced a dilemma: the rest of our group wasn’t going to [...]
I Signed the Maptia Manifesto
Hey Reader, When’s the last time you declared your wildly ambitious travel goals? Now’s your chance. Maptia is a startup currently based in Morocco on a mission to build the most inspirational map in the world. Sounds vague, yet intriguing, right? I think they’re up to great and beautiful things. Anyway, Maptia is asking people all [...]
Abandoned Buildings: My Search for the Broken, Tattered, and Neglected
Abandoned buildings mesmerize me. They call to me with their crumbling facades, beguile me with each broken window, and tempt me with their closed doors. Forlorn and forgotten, they whisper ever so softly, “I have a story.” And I’m a sucker for a good story. Last weekend I felt a restlessness in my bones. Call [...]
