Living through a New England winter can be tough if you don’t enjoy the cold or winter sports like skiing, snowboarding, etc. We wanted to get away but weren’t sure what to do at first. Jarrett and I already had a long trip planned for May 2026, but it seemed so far away. Jarrett threw…

Another year, another hut hiking adventure with my friend Liz! If you’ve been here a while, you’ll recognize Liz’s name from our many other hiking adventures (see here and here for my favorites 😊). When we were together in 2024, we loosely planned out the route we wanted to hike for our Hut Hiking trip the…

In September 2025, Jarrett and I embarked on another National Park trip! The first part of our trip would be spent checking out three National Parks and the rest of the trip would be spent exploring some spots in Kentucky that we’ve been interested in seeing. Our trip started with a direct flight from Boston…

My college roommates and I are still really close, even though we graduated college 17 years ago (ew, that’s wild to think about). We’ve been through milestone birthdays, the death of a parent, breakups, weddings and babies. Even though we don’t all live together anymore, we still prioritize seeing each other a few times a…

If you’ve been a reader of the blog for a while, you’ll know that for the past few years, I’ve gone to Martha’s Vineyard with my sister and four of our girlfriends. 2025 marked year nine so I’m not going to give much of an intro here and just jump right in! Our early morning…

While Jarrett and I have been traveling together for years, and have been focused on more outdoorsy vacations recently, we had never been camping together. It’s something we had been wanting to try but we were a little nervous to pull the trigger. At the end of 2024 we were plotting out our next vacation…

By now you know that Jarrett and I are on a mission to visit all 63 U.S. National Parks (if you didn’t know this, poke around on my page a bit, you’ll see a lot of information about them). One of the parks I was really excited about visiting was Big Bend, in southwestern Texas.…

Three of my college roommates (Cindy, Tanya and Sam) and I like to try to do a trip away together each year, if our schedules allow. We’ll each present a few ideas and then pick a favorite to do together. In 2024, we decided October would be the best time to travel since our summers…

I started listening to podcasts back in 2017ish. Like a lot of people, my introduction to podcasts was the true crime genre with shows like Serial, Up and Vanished, and Bear Brook. Over the years, I continued to listen to true crime podcasts but started to add other genres to my interest. In 2021, a…

If you’ve been following along with my Instagram or keep up with my blog posts, you seen me post about my friend Liz multiple times. We have our summer traditions of hiking together when she’s in New Hampshire for a few weeks each year. Hiking to the Appalachian Mountain Club Huts has become a favorite…
