Slow Travel Review: Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA – The Land Of Chili Peppers

A theme has emerged since I started doing these Slow Travel Reviews: I need to have less assumptions and be more open, and living in Santa Fe, New Mexico for the month, continued to drive this lesson home. Because Santa Fe is in the Southwest I assumed it was:

  1. Flat
  2. Hot
  3. Void of Trees

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. I guess that’s better than the alternative – under promise and over deliver and all that jazz, but still. I’m 3/3 shocked at how awesome these places are so I think I need to recalibrate.

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.

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.

My Favorite Free Tools: Trick People Into Thinking You Have Your Life Together

When I was still working, I would always laugh when someone inevitably mentioned that I “had it all together.” At times I was a project manager so organization was key and I kicked ass at my job, but such comments always made me laugh to myself.

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?!?)
