The Great Escape

I'd love to get away right now. In fact, I'm trying to make my entire life revolve around travel by getting some kind of job in the travel industry. But at what point does travel begin to complicate your life---aside from missed connections, lost luggage and other travel snafoos. I mean, when does... Sign in to see full entry.

Half the Fun is Planning It

I'm in the middle of planning a three month tour of select capitals of Europe. I'm of course, exhilarated at the idea of three glorious carefree months of travel.

The Grand Tour

I've decided to quit my job. This is not something I just determined five minutes ago. It's been a long time coming- my seven years in retail management are drawing to a close. I'm now officially a published travel writer, and it's time to "live the dream". The prospect of not making a steady salary... Sign in to see full entry.

Traveling Alone

If You Don’t Want to Be Lonely, Travel Alone I received a myriad of responses when I told people that I would be traveling to Europe by myself for two weeks. Some people were excited for me. My friend, who traveled to Mexico alone and stayed even after her living arrangements fell through, commended... Sign in to see full entry.
