How old were you when you made your first bucket list? Do you remember? I must have been around 14 when I wrote my first draft. I had just watched The Bucket List, a movie with Morgan Freeman about a dying man aiming to check off the items left on his own list. I remember […]
Stop what you’re doing, get out your bucket lists and add “visit the Bottleworks District in Indianapolis” to your list. You can thank me later. I had the chance to tour the Bottleworks District last week to see the completed projects of the last few years: The Bottleworks Hotel, The Garage (a food hall) and […]
Meet the two best friends who are changing the travel industry, for good.
I’m back with an interview I’m so excited to share. I met Teja on the Horizon through the internet, which seems an increasingly common statement of mine since I started blogging.

I try to buy most of my clothes used these days, but with some exceptions for items I plan to wear for a while, or things I prefer firsthand (socks and underwear). When I do purchase clothes “firsthand”, I try to find brands that are eco-friendly, fair trade, or otherwise supporting a cause I love. […]
Perhaps it’s the fact the global pandemic has given me ample time to reflect, contemplate, and analyze. Perhaps it’s my recent move from an apartment to a house, about a mile down the road. Or maybe it’s my new job with my first benefits and salary, or the new bike my boyfriend bought me as […]
