2 days in Munich

I had an amazing trip in Munich. I went for work but was able to squeeze in 2.5 days to play in addition to a great time with my coworkers. I stayed at the Hotel Concorde on a recommendation from a GLT in the 35+ group. It’s location is perfect especially for a first time […]
Exploring Saint Germain des Prés and other parts of Paris in 3 magical days
I was invited to a conference for work and decided to come early and spend the weekend. I flew Iceland Air in Saga Premium. This is a great airline and l enjoy the ease of connecting through Reykjavik. Saga Premium is similar to first class on a US domestic carrier with wider seats, full-service meals, […]
Turning 50…First Stop Singapore!
One should always celebrate their birthday. It is a time to reflect on the years past and years ahead. What do you want your future to look like, how can you create it? For me, my future always will involve traveling until my body is no longer able. Turning 50 was the end of a […]
Italy: Florence and Rome
Once again I am reminded how lucky I am to work for such an amazing company who allows us to extend our work trip to see some of this beautiful world. This year we had our annual Sales Kick Off in Rome so I took advantage of this, having never been to Italy, to arrive […]
Epic National Park Road Trip of 2019
Ashleigh and I were lucky enough to take an amazing road trip this summer. I was ending one position at work and had a few weeks before my new one was going to start so my work could easily be managed from the road and Ash is doing online college. It was the perfect opportunity […]

Becoming a Snow Person (sort of)!
Most of you who know me are very aware that I love sun and warm weather (why I live in Seattle I have no idea, I need an offer to move to sunshine soon lol). So the fact that I have fallen in love with snowshoeing is crazy. Maybe it is because the best way […]

I have been wanting to go snowshoeing for a few years so was excited when my friend Kams asked it I wanted to attend a beginner into class at REI and then go up to the mountains. It was a pretty good class but since I am not a member it was going to be […]
Egypt – Hurghada and Pyramids
I wanted to find an amazing dive location for us to visit this year and one day I was scrolling through Facebook and the PADI site mentioned a place called Hurghada. I had never heard of this place and I had to look it up to even see what country it was in and imagine […]
London
Again I am blessed to have an amazing job where on occasion I am able to travel the world. Earlier this year I was able to visit Paris and London. My Paris visit was very short (only 2 days) and was mostly work but I also was able to have my two favorite French foods […]
