Who am I?
I’m a new mom and an active duty Army lawyer/ Judge Advocate. I have lived all over the world, to include five years in Europe, and I’ve deployed to Afghanistan twice. As a result of my extensive travel, I’ve discovered my thirst for travel, adventure, food, and wine/cocktails, while also learning how to take care of myself physically and mentally. I’m also a new mom, so I’m learning how to balance mom life with work life and social life. It’s a work in progress.

Why start a blog?
During a trip to Charleston, I realized that I wanted to share my experiences in an open forum. I am often asked for recommendations, so this is a great opportunity to share my experiences with you and what works (and doesn’t) work for me when I travel. Now that I have a sweet baby boy, I’m also adding tips on how to travel with a baby (and often our two dogs).
Work takes me all over the place right now, and I find myself in unknown spots across the U.S. I plan to share my thoughts and recommendations, whether short work ones or indulgent personal trips. I love food, but I also want to discover unique finds, whether it’s a local artisan or antique shop. During my work travel, I have also figured out fixes and must need items that I want to share to help improve your trips.
Why do I love traveling?
Ever since I was young, I always imagined I would be a world traveler. I wanted to venture outside of my comfort zone and discover the unknown. I first started my travel escapades in college, but the Army truly gave me the opportunity to take it and run with it.
Travel, adventure, yoga, food, wine/drinks, culture, new experiences are some of my many passions. Join me on my journey to help share life’s joys and hidden gems! The adventure is just beginning!
