Slow Travel Review: Portland, Maine, USA – The Land Of Deliciousness

I have been slowly stepping out of my comfort zone after quitting my job. First it was moving across the country from Washington to Georgia. Then it was seeing if I liked living in a tiny house. Then it was moving to the major city of Atlanta to see it in a way that even being born and raised in Georgia didn’t allow me to.

Instacart Review: An Everything Delivery Service

I’ve recently explained my experience with several companies and readers have responded positively saying that they hadn’t heard of or tried the service I mentioned so I’ve decided to continue this trend! Continue reading “Instacart Review: An Everything Delivery Service”

Slow Travel Review: Decatur, Georgia, USA – The Land Of Flowers And Food

As someone who was born and raised in Georgia, learning that somewhere like Decatur, GA exists downtown is simply wild. I have gone on and on about how Atlanta represents some of the worst things about our modern world, such as the impossible traffic, lack of public transportation or sidewalks and the general creepy Stepford Wives feel of the suburbs I grew up in.

Why I Switched To Google Fi (And How I Got A Free Phone Out Of It)

I know what you’re thinking: Is she switching because Fi looks like Financial Independence? Sadly, no. I’m not that shallow 😉 .

I suspected it was related to Wi-Fi, but then went down a rabbit hole and discovered that the “Fi” in that doesn’t have a specific meaning either.

LugLess Review: An Easy Way To Travel Light

I named April the month of optimism in my mind. The world is starting to look less dark. So with tentative optimism, I’m starting to look at travel possibilities for this fall and 2022. If you’re doing the same, you might be looking for alternatives to paying the often wild airline checked bag fees (remember when that shit was free?!?)

Cancelling My International Retirement Travel: Credits, Points and Money Lost

My Mom and I love to travel. Growing up, travel for us consisted of the 90s stereotype: road trips with 5 people stuffed into a sedan AKA my nightmare 🙂 . However, when I was in college, my Mom got a job at an airline and a whole new world opened up to us 🙂 .

What It’s Like Traveling In An Amtrak Viewliner Roomette During A Pandemic

For obvious reasons, 2020 is not shaping up to be the year I suspect any of us predicted. Instead of flying around the world in first class, I’m galavanting around the US and trying forms of transportation I never would have dreamed of, such as going down the east coast in an Amtrak Viewliner Roomette.
