One of my least favorite things to do is go back to a place I’ve been to before. I have had a bad case of a ‘been there, done that’ attitude my whole life. I wish I understood why, but I do know that it is something deeply rooted in my DNA. This need to […]
When you think of Quebec winter and snow, you normally think of a big comfy lodge with a couch you can sink into, a big fireplace, hot toddy, and lots of flannel. But I don’t like to do the expected, so instead of staying in a big cozy lodge for my winter adventures in Quebec, […]
As I was about to nod off to sleep, I heard it. “Owwoooooo”. A howl that made the little hairs on the back of my neck stand up at attention. Soon after, I heard another howl join in, and then another. It was a howling chorus – and it was happening right outside my window. […]
The year was 1988. We had big hair…lots of hair. I used to spend an hour each morning curling my already permed hair into even tighter little curls with a curling iron the size of my pinky finger. I really did want to be ‘Baby’ from Dirty Dancing even though I had stick-straight hair. And […]
This post was written in partnership with Airbnb. Ask anyone in any country if they travel enough and the answer will likely be no.

“What is a links course anyway?” I asked as we pulled into the swanky Cabot Links Resort in the little town of Inverness in Cape Breton. I’m not a golfer, so I don’t follow golf, I know nothing about golf terms, and I never really understood the ‘draw’ to what motivates people to be excited […]
This is the time of year where I tell you how thankful I am for beds, but this year is a little different. It’s different because in this list of beds I get include MY bed…and ultimately, my home! If you missed the news, after 11 years of being nomadic without a home, or even […]
Once upon a time, a bored girl went chasing rabbits in Colorado. Her curiosity and penchant for adventure led her into a mountainous world of intriguing people, mesmerizing views, and unusual dimensions. Visions of Alice in Wonderland danced in my head as I was driving back to Denver after my WeeCasa tiny house hotel adventure […]
As I drove by the sign that read Acadia National Park with an arrow pointing left, I did have a little pang of indecision for a moment. I knew Acadia is where everyone goes when they do a Maine Road Trip, but it was precisely the reason why I didn’t turn left. I only had […]
