So lets talk about Vegas! I can finally say I have been to Vegas. Its over-the-top, kitschy and out to steal all your money. As I mentioned in the last post, I arrived in Vegas at 1:15am PDT/ 4:15am EDT, 2 hours later than scheduled. Me still being on Eastern Standard Time and not having … More Vegas – Check!
I was away for about a month and just got home a couple of days ago. Spoiler alert, I REALLY had to decompress after my last flight.

In my last post I described the adorable AirBnB two friends and I had rented for the week in West Virginia. We’d booked it because the house was entirely our aesthetic, but we really had no idea what was in the area. After booking the place, we found out that the owner had another property, … More Our Own Private Waterfalls
The beginning of this last trip, which I started in the last week of April, happened because of a random AirBnB I stumbled across.

I recently returned from a 6 week road trip full of art, photography and tales, but first I want to tell y’all about how I got stuck in purgatory on my way home.
