About Me

Hello friends! Thank you for checking out this site. I started it because I’ve somewhat recently been bitten by the travel bug and this seems like a fun way to document and memorialize my travels. I hope some of my fellow travelers find it interesting or perhaps even a little helpful!

Just for fun, here are ten random facts about me:

  1. I spent my honeymoon exploring Japan for 18 days! We traveled through Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Nagoya, and more. I ate amazing food, visited temples, rode roller coasters, shopped, and squeezed in as many experiences as I possibly could.
  2. I’ve been to many concerts! I’ve seen Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo, BINI, Kesha, Phoebe Bridgers, Olivia Dean, Melanie Martinez, Owl City, and a handful of K-pop groups.
  3. I’m a roller coaster enthusiast and I’ve ridden on close to 50 unique coasters! My favorites are Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT, Velocicoaster at Universal Islands of Adventure, and Mako at SeaWorld Orlando.
  4. My husband proposed to me at Disney World. Specifically, right before we boarded Guardians of the Galaxy. It was perfect in every way and I can’t believe it happened to me.
  5. I collect American Girl dolls as an adult. They have better clothes than I do!
  6. I’m a first generation college graduate. I studied Political Science, Anthropology, and Women’s and Gender Studies. My favorite is Anthropology, which probably explains why I love traveling and learning about the culture of every new place I visit!
  7. I will absolutely travel for food. Omakase in Tokyo, beignets in New Orleans, dumplings basically anywhere… food is one of my favorite ways to experience a culture and a new destination!
  8. I have three cats. They’re spoiled and very deeply loved. And they’re uninterested in contributing financially to the household.
  9. I am a huge Swiftie, and my favorite Taylor Swift album is folklore.
  10. I believe you don’t have to quit being enthusiastic about things when you grow up. I’m in my 30s and I get ridiculously excited about K-pop, theme parks, cute characters, dolls, traveling, and trying new things. Life is more fun when you let yourself love things!
