I rolled into Sofia on a graffiti-covered sleeper train from Belgrade (and oh man, is that a story!). First impressions are important, and Sofia’s main train station didn’t make a good one: they wouldn’t let us use a credit card to buy tickets, the whole place was under construction, the bathrooms cost money and ATMs… Continue reading TBT | Sofia | Ya’ Didn’t Steal My Heart (but you’re still beautiful)

Marietta, OH | Small Town Views
While hanging out in West Virginia we were just across the Ohio from Marietta, so Man Friend and I decided to take an afternoon, wander around, and snap some cute shots of this adorable historic town! Marietta pretty much embodies the charm of small-town America. We loved strolling by the local businesses, crossing over the… Continue reading Marietta, OH | Small Town Views
TBT | My Life-Changing Salad at Savamala
It’s been over a year since I went traipsing through Serbia, and still one dish stands out in my mind: the Gulliver Salad at Savamala. Right across from the Belgrade train station, this little Italian eatery isn’t hard to find. We discovered it because it was attached to our hotel, and when we arrived in… Continue reading TBT | My Life-Changing Salad at Savamala
TBT | Surf Dreams on the Black Sea
It’s a rainy, cold January right now. The perfect time to close my eyes and remember the sound of the waves crashing against beaches on the northern coast of Turkey. There, in the little town of Kerpe, is the Danube Surfhouse and Academy. A combination of hostel, hotel, and casual hangout, Danube is a fun… Continue reading TBT | Surf Dreams on the Black Sea
TBT | Belgrade | A Surprising Treat
On my journey through Eastern Europe I didn’t have incredibly high expectations. My friends traveling with me had planned our stops, and in many ways I was just along for the ride. We caught a train in from Budapest, and while that trip turned out to be problematic, Belgrade was amazing. We spent the day… Continue reading TBT | Belgrade | A Surprising Treat
Preview | Road Trippin’
It’s adventure time! Like so many blogs, this one finds itself at the intersection of personal and private life. This month I had a couple of important things to do, one in the Midwest and the other on the East Coast, so now I am making the trip across several states. Lucky for you, I… Continue reading Preview | Road Trippin’
Growing Up
I just need to write today. I needed a break from processing element of change #347 of this season. So here I am, sipping my gingerbread latte out of a red cup at Starbucks, easing my pain with the opiate of the rest of the masses. The days are ticking down. Months have turned into… Continue reading Growing Up
Race Announcement | Cappadocia Ultra
Guess what y’all? Tomorrow I’m diving off into the great blue yonder to run 60K at the Salomon Cappadocia Ultra! Now since the last time I posted about running was six months ago in April, you probably have some questions. I will now use my amazing internet telepathy powers and answer them. Wow, this race… Continue reading Race Announcement | Cappadocia Ultra
Turns Out I Still Hate Leaving | Bright Sides
Apparently transition is one of the things that inspires me to write. It’s as though there is a special class of feelings that I express more efficiently with an audience. Or maybe as an increasing number of people ask, “Are you ready for _____?” I’m inspired to craft some type of general press release that… Continue reading Turns Out I Still Hate Leaving | Bright Sides
Budapest | Day & Night
Budapest is a beautiful city full of history. There are a lot of things to see there, and you could easily fill several days with sight-seeing. Since I’ve been there before, and I’m a little burned out on tourist-trappiness, I took it pretty easy this time around. I managed to pick up some sweet shots… Continue reading Budapest | Day & Night
