I see you there, standing on a rocky beach. The darkness is just beginning to lift, and with it, streaks of hope begin to pierce the despondency and confusion of the last few days. Maybe you won’t ask. “Do you love me?” The words bite, piercing to the core of the very questions that have… Continue reading The Beach
What To Do When I Miss Him (and he’s busy)
I should be doing other work. I have things to accomplish. But I’m telling myself this is a “break,” which I suppose is when I get the best of my writing done anyways. It is almost an event of procrastination, in and of itself. I miss him today. And there are a lot of days… Continue reading What To Do When I Miss Him (and he’s busy)
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
We All Scream for Ice Cream at Graeters!
Graeters ice cream is one of my favorite parts about being in Northern Kentucky (aside from all the lovely people, obviously). The details make it at Graters. Their shops all keep up this cute ice cream parlor vibe that reminds me of grabbing cones in the summer with my grandparents in the ’90s (you know,… Continue reading We All Scream for Ice Cream at Graeters!
TBT | Gozde Yemek Fabrikasi
One of my favorite things about traveling the world is getting to meet people and see into their daily lives.

Great is the Lord
Let those who delight in my righteousness shout for joy and be glad and say evermore, “Great is the Lord, who delights in the welfare of His servant!” Then my tongue shall tell of Your righteousness and Your praise all the day long. This week is weird. My brain is stretched across two different countries,… Continue reading Great is the Lord
Louisville Brunch at Wild Eggs
Enjoying a weekend in Louisville, my friends (who had recently moved there) asked me where we should try for brunch. I had heard about Wild Eggs, but hadn’t had the chance to experience it yet, so we decided to give it a shot. Since we went at 10 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I expected… Continue reading Louisville Brunch at Wild Eggs
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

Murray is a place full of traditions both old and new, where the best things are often understated and not ostentatious. That’s precisely the case with Matt B’s Main Street Pizza, a pizza joint that lies across main street from… Continue reading Greasy Delight At Matt B’s
