The British Virgin Islands - my much anticipated vacation. The first one of the year, which is so rare for me to go so long without a vacation day. Kylee, my best friend from Dallas, and her husband, Brent (our captain), love to sail, [.....] Prague, Czech Republic - November 2015
Over Thanksgiving week, my mom and I traveled to Europe, first visiting Munich and then taking the bus over to Prague for another few days of exploring and getting in the holiday spirit with all of the Christmas Market preparations. [.....] Munich, Germany - November 2015
This trip came about mostly from me only having 3 vacation days left and trying to figure out how best to use them. I knew a trip outside of the US wasn’t possible…but as soon as I put the days together with the Thanksgiving holiday week – I instantly had a full 9 day vacation! Perfect – Europe here I come. [.....] Kenya - September 2015
This Kenya trip has been a long time coming and it's still kind of hard to process that I just got back from Africa! My best friend, David, grew up in Nairobi and we've worked together since 2009 while traveling for our jobs. [.....] Buenos Aires, Argentina - January 2015
I landed in Buenos Aires after my overnight flight around 11am, met my friend Julie at the airport, and we caught a taxi to our hotel - the Sheraton Conference Center. It was Christmas Eve, so the town was basically shut down. [.....] Antarctica - January 2015
This trip has been a long-time coming. The biggest question I get asked, is "why Antarctica"? It's actually hard to explain, but the closest I can come is a two-fold answer. [.....] Ushuaia, Argentina - December 2014
We landed in Ushuaia around 7:30pm after our 3.5 hour flight from Buenos Aires. Stepping outside - talk about a temperature difference - cold and windy. To me it meant we were getting one step closer to Antarctica! [.....] Kauai, Hawaii - September 2014
My mom and I went to Kauai for a little rest and relaxation...and some adventure of course! I was so busy at work prior to the trip I had only planned one thing - the zipline tour. But on the plane ride over I sat next to a guy from Kauai, [.....] Pennsylvania to Maryland - August 2014
How do I begin to write about this adventure...all that comes to mind is "so amazing, highlight of my year, can't wait to do it again!" The best way I can describe the bike ride is through my GoPro video. [.....] Portland, Oregon - August 2014
I had been wanting to get back to Portland for years - when I went back in 2010 I just fell in love with the city and surrounding areas. My parents were looking for a summer trip as well, so I got to go back to my favorite city [.....] Paris & Chantilly, France - April 2014
On March 31st I woke up to a very exciting email - I had been invited to a Women's Leadership Development Program at our company's University (Les Fontaines) in Chantilly, France. I've been with my company for 7 year and it was the first [.....] London, England - November 2013
This ended up being a fairly last minute trip. I hadn't planned to go overseas again this year (I'm usually lucky to go overseas once per year...not 3 times!) But I'm definitely not complaining! [.....] Turkey - September 2013
This September I took a trip to Turkey. I had heard wonderful things about it from many seasoned travelers, so I figured I would go check it out. I went by myself and met up with an Insight Vacations [.....] Las Vegas, Nevada - August 2013

I live in Houston and on this weekend I decided to take a kayaking tour with Buffalo Bayou Kayak Tours. We started at Memorial Park and paddled our way through Buffalo Bayou Park [.....] Vancouver, BC, Canada - June 2012
I absolutely fell in love with Vancouver! It is one of my favorite short trips I have taken to date. This trip fell over Fourth of July week. It was a remote work week (from my project in LA), but I figured "working remotely" doesn't necessary have to be from [.....] California - March 2012
This is a mix of various trips/activities in the Los Angeles area. For my birthday, my friends Jessica and David went with me to Santa Barbara for the weekend of March 31st, 2012. We drove up on Saturday and enjoyed some wine tastings. [.....] Las Vegas, Nevada - February 2012

I was looking for a fun winter adventure in December, and really wanted to go snowshoeing again - since I hadn't done it since my REI trip in Utah the year before. My cousin, Mary, lives in Greeley, Colorado so I flew in to go hang [.....] Galveston, Texas - October 2010

I decided to go explore Nashville this weekend. I was flying in from Toronto, and the weekend definitely got off to a bumpy start. My flight was delayed 3 hours, which meant I should have missed my connection in Chicago, but thankfully [.....] Martha's Vineyard & Boston, Mass - October 2009

My friend Gabe was traveling around South America and in January 2006 I met him in Cartagena, Colombia for a week.
