Well I'm starting another new series called To Inspire Tuesday! I don't know about you, but Tuesdays are my least favorite day. They're even worse than Mondays in my opinion. So I thought I'd start a series to help inspire the most miserable day of the week. I have a love for graphic quotes, you know those pretty pictures with inspirational sayings. So I thought I'd make a few of my own using my photography. My hopes are that these posts will inspire you: inspire you to travel, to take a leap ...

City Spotlight: Adare, Ireland
Happy St. Patrick's Day everyone! Hope you're all having a lovely day and maybe enjoying some Green Mint White Hot Chocolate? I thought it only fitting that this City Spotlight post was about one of the prettiest place I've visited in Ireland! When I traveled throughout Europe a few years ago one of our final stops was in Adare, Ireland. I'd heard this small village in County Limerick was a must and since it was on the way to our last city we figured why not! It’s a designated Heritage ...
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! Obviously the main sights are a must, like Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and Buckingham Palace, but there’s so many other things to do. My school actually had a variety of activities set up for their students, from walking tours, a pub crawl, a weekend in Edinburgh, various plays and day trips. I really loved that they wanted to help us get to know ...
NYC Haul
When my sister and I visited New York City back in December I knew I wanted to do a bit of shopping, as one does in NYC. I thought I’d check out the stores we don’t necessarily have here at home and pick up a few things. I didn’t plan on stopping into NARS, but I’m glad I did. (My bank account feels differently, I’m sure.) I knew exactly what I was looking for, the gorgeous Velvet Matte Pencil in Red Square. I had been coveting the red orange color for quite a while now, but it always seemed ...
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 ...
