One part opportunity, one part spontaneity, whip vigorously
I had a 12 hour layover in Hong Kong on my way to Cambodia. I had been to the city before and had hit a few of the main tourist attractions so I wanted to do something else and thought a food tour would be fun! Who am I kidding, I jut used that as…
I had the privilege of working out of EF’s Lucerne office last week for two days. Couldn’t not share these photos! You can see the view from the office is incredible and is located just a hour train ride from Zurich. Mount Pilatus is in the distance on Lake Lucerne and the wire table is…
We woke up on day three and wanted to get moving to avoid having to follow/hike at the same pace as anyone. The hike was beautiful and we were enjoying ourselves. I was amazed that each day my body let me put my 40 pound pack back on and from the muscle memory I had…
Last August we did the Four Pass Loop in Aspen. It was one of the most incredible backpacking trips I have done because it was so challenging and incredibly beautiful. My groups plan was to do the 26.6 clockwise (which really ended up being 31 miles according to our GPS watch) mile hike in four…
A visit to the dead sea was a must for us while in Israel. We were fascinated by visiting the lowest elevation on land. My friend Ali and I rented a car so we could get around to a few sites we wanted to see on our own time so we drove straight from…

We had people over for “prosecco and snacks” and though it turned into a full meal of ham, pork, potatoes etc I wanted to keep dessert simple—but impressive looking. Meringue baskets with homemade lemon curd was the perfect answer. Meringue is very easy…
Colombia was amazing! It was the perfect warm destination to visit in the winter months to escape the cold. It was also very cheap to get to from Denver flying Spirit. The red eye to FLL is tough but still can you really beat $300 roundtrip? We started our Colombia vacation in Cartagena. The city…
I was so excited to get me some oysters when we were in New Orleans! Nola has an awesome oyster scene and also for pretty cheap! Head to The Blind Pelican for happy hour and get raw oysters for 25 cents!!! They are also known more specifically for their chargrilled oysters and for those you…
In October my ladies and I headed to New Orleans for a girls weekend trip! It was a college reunion; we all went to Michigan State University. Go Green! Even though we went in October by golly was it still hot! I couldn’t believe it, very humid. We stayed in an Airbnb in the Garden…
