The New Oxford American Dictionary has a definition for wanderlust that is very, very simple but even more accurate. It reads, wanderlust: “a strong desire to travel.” Whoa, did I just get attacked with a strong, strong sense of wanderlust. It’s all thanks to this wonderful blog post that I recently discovered on AbleThrive. It highlights ten accessible destinations …

Some things should never change.
When you’re in your 20’s, the word “tradition” probably doesn’t mean as it might later in life, but I’m grateful to be surrounded by the very definition of tradition. It just happens to involve Virginia Tech football, too. Just last month, I was reading my friend Hadley C.’s blog, and she shared a fantastic quote …
Some staycation advice.
Ironically, I wrote this blog as I prepare to head off on travel for the long Labor Day weekend! BUT I discovered this article online last week, ahead of a fantastic staycation. In case you haven’t been introduced to this wonderful idea, a staycation is exactly like a vacation except you don’t get anywhere; you …

Music festival or food festival?
As I lament my return to the real world from an absolutely amazing weekend with 8 of my favorite people and 2 of my favorite dogs (and one of my absolute favorite American holidays!), I’m just sitting here staring at my calendar and procrastinating getting out of the couch (where I fell asleep last night). …
Lake vacation!
Good afternoon, friends! As you know, the 4th is coming up. America’s birthday falls on a Saturday this year, which means the federal government has been gracious enough to give us the day before – Friday, July 3rd – off from our formal duties in the office. Therefore, a bunch of friends and I are …
