Before I begin, I just wanted to say - thank you, to all of you. I’ve been incredibly quiet around here in the past year.

Without getting too wordy, I’ll say this - somewhere between starting a new job as Editor of Dame Traveler and ending my original podcast… I lost my original fervor for writing here. I felt restricted by my “brand” and disassociated with the look, the feel, the whole she-bang. The truth is, I needed a break. So, where does that leave me now?!

Well, I’ve made some major changes around here. The truth is, I love to write. I want this blog to be a catch-all for everything I love. So I whittled down my interests into five major themes:

Travel Guides - The evergreen content I’m constantly asked. No more “what should I do when I go to Rome?” questions. Each guide will be updated regularly and are yours for the using!
The Heart Of Travel - Exploring the “why” of exploration. This is the newest addition that is my bread and butter nowadays. Digging deep into the ways travel can transform.
Travelogue - What I’m most looking forward to! I miss the days when travel blogging was a diary, of sorts. I want this blog to keep it real with you. So, while I’m exploring, I’ll be sharing my daily adventures and creative writing. As you may know, I’m on a mission to write this world a love letter. Expect lots of poetic musings and diary entries. I’ll be real… this was totally inspired by my favorite writer Nicole Ziza Bauer’s field notes while living in Italy.
Tips & Tricks - From budget travel, hotel recommendations, techy goodness - this category is where I’ll be spilling discoveries and tricks to get you out there in the world.
Creative Travel - Ideas for inventive explorations, including tricks to integrate travel in large and small ways.
Lifestyle - Everything else that doesn’t fit into the above categories.
