I’m an artist, writer, wifey, dog mom, proud childfree by choice woman, soberista, Psychotherapist, and athlete-ish. I am also a modern nomad, a frequent wanderer splitting my time between a small island in the Pacific Northwest, the high desert in Arizona, and cities in Europe.
I want this to be the go-to place for any fellow wanderers out there, especially fellow Gen-X folx who like to live life outside of the ordinary. This is the place for travel stories and tips, foodie hot spots, art (beyond the traditional museums in every guidebook), and adventures you just have to try. As an athlete, I share tips on where to work out abroad, and as a yogi, the best studios to get your asana on worldwide. If you are like me and love multimedia storytelling, follow me on Instagram for my reels and photos.

I have tested again and again, tweaking ingredients to…
