*snicker* Yeah I laughed at my own title. Anyway, it always makes me laugh when people assume I have my shit together. Like (some? most? all?) humans, I have SOME shit together – not all. Not by a long shot. There are many things I know I should do…and still don’t 🙂 . Using a password manager was one of those things. I was told it was cheap, super easy and very secure in an increasingly unsafe digital world…and yet I did nothing. Continue reading “1Password Review: Protect Yo’ Shit!”

Slow Travel Review: Catskill, New York, USA – The Land Of Mountains
I’m sensing a pattern in these Slow Travel Reviews – I need to be more open 🙂 . I continue to be surprised with how awesome new towns are and how much they have to offer.

A Visa Misadventure: That Time I Was Stranded in London
It’s been almost two full years since I left the US and as a result, I’ve been reminiscing about the times I had that privilege in the past. My Mom and I have had some awful travel luck so some of those memories are less than ideal, but I could usually grab a nugget of wisdom from them in retrospect 🙂 .

How I Manage My Money In Retirement
I randomly do Instagram AMAs in my Stories when that specific urge hits me.
