I wish I could remember when I first fell in love with Rifle Paper Co., but it's not hard to see why. Did I ever mention I love florals? And anything travel related? Honestly if I could buy one of everything on the website I would. The ultimate dream is to have a portrait done by Anna some day. Going to start saving for that one! There's just something about her work, it's so simple, yet so beautiful and unique. I'm a photographer so I usually prefer photographs, but she made me fall in love ...

How I Traveled to 7 Countries for a Month for Under $5,000
I still remember when my friend Julia (from Gracefully Julia, you must check out her page!) and I first started talking about traveling in Europe after she graduated. We made a list of all the places we wanted to go and figured out how long, two months maybe? My parents just laughed it off, they were certain it would never happen. I had a job at the time and quitting really wasn’t an option after my trouble finding a job the last time I returned from Europe (Read all about that lovely ...
Study Abroad Must Do List: London
So I decided to make a list of all the things I think are must dos for when you're studying abroad in London, or even if you're just visiting!

I really loved that they wanted to help us get to know ...
The Worst Decision I Ever Made: to Study Abroad
Alright, I admit, the title of this one is a bit misleading. But I want to be completely honest about my study abroad experience and talk about the highs and lows, specifically when I returned home. The moment I stepped onto US soil, I was ready to go back to Europe. I didn’t have a job lined up, foolish on my part I know. I didn’t want to worry about searching for a job before I left for London, I was already stressed out enough. So instead I told myself that as soon as I got back I’d start ...
The Best Decision I Ever Made: to Study Abroad
It was the middle of my senior year in college, graduation was fast approaching and I truly had no idea what I was going to do after school. I had no potential prospects, I hadn’t been searching for a future job as I should have been. Maybe I just wanted to put off the “real world” as long as possible. Long story (sort of) short, I applied for the Disney World college program, which still accepted students the semester after they graduated. It’s one of my favorite places so I figured it would ...
