I spent a week this April at the Wigtown School of Writing in Wigtown, Scotland, attending a writer’s workshop that focused on world-building and the art of effective storytelling. This was a wonderful experience that allowed me to fully immerse myself in the world of writing, and to explore all of the amazing bookstores that…

“Shrimp Tails” — Video
Over the weekend I had the honor of being a part of the pre-launch party celebration for the twenty-first issue of Lumina Journal, as my piece, “Shrimp Tails,” will be featured in the upcoming publication! This was such an exciting opportunity. I traveled down to NYC for the weekend and spent the evening at Jade…
Forty-Eight Four Thousand Footers
Happy to announce that I have just received my Appalachian Mountain Club membership letter and my forty-eight four thousand footers patch! I am so proud to be a member of this group, and look forward to (barring any accidents!) completing the sixty-seven highest of New England list later this year. Wishing everyone success as we…
A Week In Texas
Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin—farewell! We ate delicious food, saw incredible botanical gardens, and visited some of the most beautiful art museums I have ever seen. I am so grateful to have had the chance to check out these cities. That said, in the wake of the election, I am also grateful to live somewhere…
Visiting Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary
The time had come for another trip, and so off my boyfriend and I went, to Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, and Hungary! We spent our first week in Austria, biking and basking in the beauty of Innsbruck and Salzburg. This was my first time in the alps and I was blown away! We got to enjoy…
Exploring the United Kingdom and Ireland with Friends

A Weekend at the Carnaval De Québec!
Over the first weekend in February, my partner and I visited the Carnaval De Québec and explored the city, along with its neighboring town, Lévis. We had visited once before—on a roadtrip through Vermont, New York, and Canada in the summer of 2019—and it was a wonderful time. Old Québec is the closest we can…
Recent Mini-Trips
Over the past few weeks I have been fortunate enough to get to go on some long weekend trips! I have filmed these for my own documentation, as I tend to forget everything, but also to share my adventures with friends and family. One was to New York City in early September with my parents…
Island Hopping with Friends in Greece
What can be said about Greece that has not been said before? It was as warm, sunny, picturesque, and delicious as everyone claims. In May, two friends, my partner, and I flew to Athens to begin our island hopping journey through the Aegean, ending with a beautiful three days spent in Chania, Crete. Out of…
Wintering in Australia and New Zealand
After a fall spent scrimping and saving, it was time for another trip in February. I went with my dad to visit Auckland and Wellington on New Zealand’s beautiful North Island before we flew to Sydney, Australia for a month-long working vacation. We spent our time hiking, eating, and getting plenty of steps in as…
