The last time I was in DC was 2016 and it did not go well…It was actually the first trip me and my (now) fiancé went on and luckily we didn’t take it as a nod to how the rest of the relationship would go. The tours we joined were bad, the restaurants we went…

Quick Trip To Chicago
It’s no surprise to anyone that I’m still not trying to travel outside the country, giving me the perfect opportunity to see more of the United States! We did a weekend in Chicago and since my fiancé has been there before, he did the itinerary, here what we did in approximately 48 hours: Things we…
Travel Realistically In Your 20’s
I honestly can't stand all of the articles I read that are like "You're in your 20's! Quit your job and open up an ice cream shack in the Bahamas!" or "Don't worry about getting a job - backpack through Europe and find yourself!" Come on, in my early 20s I lived with my parents…
My Social Battery Is Drained
Nothing like a good ol pandemic to make you change part of your personality, right? I’ve always been introverted, but in the last 2 years I’ve basically lost all social skills. DoorDash means I don’t have to order food in person or even meet up with a delivery driver. Working from home meant meeting all…
COVID’s Effects On My Love Of Traveling
Before 2020, my years were spent traveling. In 3 years alone I went to Iceland, Thailand, Egypt, the Netherlands, and more. And now? I’ve always had travel anxiety. I get to the airport early and basically think something is guaranteed to go wrong. I don’t sleep the night before, I get sick to my stomach.…
If We Were Having Coffee – February
If we were having coffee I’d tell you February started off a little slow as we geared up for our trip to New Orleans. After getting my booster and then getting COVID, I felt confident in my antibodies enough to plan a trip. I don’t feel comfortable traveling outside the US right now, which gave…
Short Trip To New Orleans
Another year of domestic travel is calling to us since travel long internationally just seems SO stressful. New Orleans is perfect for a quick getaway. I guess when I think NOLA I think culture, food, spooky history. But most people think of drinking and beads and Mardi Gras. We went for the former - but…
Healing Your Inner Child
My favorite thing about being adult is doing all the things I didn’t get to do as a kid. I can buy the things I want, get piercings and tattoos, dye my hair pink, spend as much as I want at the carnival, go to different fun events, stay up late watching movies. More recently,…
2 Years Without International Travel
Pre-pandemic Rosie would have thought you were more than crazy if you said she would go 2 years without international travel. Just 2 years ago I was at the point in my life where I was traveling out of the country at least 3 times a year. It’s weird enough to have to write this…
Completed Summer Bucket List
I'm not really one to rush the end of summer, but it seems like fall is coming fast! I had a great summer and it FLEW by, there were still some things we didn't get to accomplish. My boyfriend and I have actually gone to a sunflower field for the past 5(?) years of our…
