I know ya'll have been on the edge of your seat, waiting for posts about my epic journey. And I'm itching to start writing about it! But, my hard drive is full – I can't download my photos!

Out of Control
Well, not entirely. But soon I'm going to the most remote, out-of-the-way place I've ever been. I will have to put aside my comfort and everything I think I control in my life - my apartment, my familiar surroundings, my eating habits. Travel takes the control out of my life. My flight is booked to … Continue reading Out of Control
What’s That?
Not Mama, Dada, ball or doggy. My first words, documented by my mother in my baby book, were: What's that? I like to blame my endless curiosity on that. It's hardwired. My curiosity leads me to turn on PBS and watch shows on science and engineering or the brain for hours. It's all so interesting. … Continue reading What’s That?
Cutting Room Floor – Thailand
I love the quirky and curious things you encounter when traveling. Some of my favorite movies or online slideshows to watch are the behind-the-scenes or the 'making of' segments. So my newest blog category is going to be the photos that didn't make it into the "real" posts. The ones that didn't really help tell … Continue reading Cutting Room Floor – Thailand
Cooking – Thai Style

It’s Too Hot to Take Pictures…
I had about a week and half of notice before I left on this trip. My employer needed me to attend a conference in Bangkok, Thailand. Did I want to go? No hesitation. Only a few months earlier I'd been bemoaning the fact that I didn't have a single international trip planned for the year... … Continue reading It’s Too Hot to Take Pictures…
San Francisco – Revisited
Visit number two to San Francisco was exploring all things not in a guidebook. This time my sister and I stayed in the Hayes Valley neighborhood - which was fabulous. It felt like a close-knit neighborhood in a huge city. We stumbled upon a short alley while looking for our Airbnb apartment. It was an … Continue reading San Francisco – Revisited
Asia Calling?
Yep, it is. More soon...
Perfect Storm
This year is the first time in years that I haven't been on an international trip. I'm so lucky to have been able to see a little of the world, but staying home sounded nice to me this year. And much cheaper. So it was time to explore my homeland. I'm a little embarrassed to … Continue reading Perfect Storm
The Makerie
The best way I can think to start of my new blog is with the place that inspired me to get moving! This past April I attended The Makerie in Boulder, CO and it was fantastic. Not only was the setting spectacular, but it was four days of creative teachers sharing their knowledge, fabulous food … Continue reading The Makerie
