About

Midwestern gal who is always looking for a new adventure. Currently working a nine-to-five and always looking for a chance at freedom.

Home airports

DTW.

My travel style

Museums, zoos, libraries and aquariums are always my go-to when planning a trip. Then I triangulate where the best local food can be found. What are your go-to's?

Favorite hotels

Wild Goose Inn

Unique, seasonally-themed B&B with six, cozy rooms.

The Vault Hotel Houghton

Stylish property in a brick building from 1887 with chic, art-deco rooms and multi-bedroom suites.

Hôtel Regyn's Montmartre

Simple hotel with standard rooms offering city views.

Recently returned from:

  • Reminiscing at Winter Carnival in Houghton, MI. 

  • Attending drag shows in Minneapolis. 

  • Filling my cup up on a staycation here in East Lansing. 

  • Soaking up the sun with my girls at Clearwater Beach.

Dreaming of:

  • Egyptian River Cruise on the Nile (no murder, please). 

  • Scottish Highlands for history, whiskey and men in kilts. 

  • Spiritual retreat in Bali. 

  • Turkish archaeological sites (and Turkish recovery from earthquakes).

One thing I can't travel without...

My emotional support reusable water bottle.

Two truths, one lie:

  1. I rappelled off of a castle in Italy. 

  2. I ran a lap at the first Olympic stadium. 

  3. I threw a paper airplane off of the Eiffel Tower.
