Etsy Finds Vintage: Let's Go Trippin'
Sometimes I ache for the life of a jet setter: constantly taking off to exotic locales at the drop of a hat, picking up precursory foreign language tidbits (Spaseebo balshoye!), and meandering through cobblestone streets with nowhere in particular to go. Now is the season to venture out in the world and bask …
Etsy Finds Vintage: Imagine Yourself Here...
Summer is prime vacation time, and this lady is ready to head for the hills. However, the hardest part of hitting the road always seems to be deciding the destination. Should I pack my knapsack and head for Alaska's uncharted territories, take off on a cross country road trip in search of the United States …
Artistic Endeavors: Top Ten Travel Photographs
I'm going to share an embarrassing fact with you: I've never left the United States. Now, before I hang my uncultured head in shame, I'll have you know that this summer, I'll be spending a few weeks studying abroad in Provence, the south of France. (I just got my passport, complete with awkward photograph and …
Trends: It's in the Bag
I'm not the kind of girl who travels light. I've got to have at least two books (one fiction and one nonfiction, of course), a separate journal for doodling and notetaking, a snack of some kind, a motley arrangement of pens/markers, a water bottle, my glasses, chap stick, cell phone, sunscreen, an inconspicuous pouch …
Survival Kit for a Springtime Adventure
The beginning of spring always gets me itching for a nice long adventure, and for good reason! The pleasant weather has a knack for stirring up nostalgia. I'm missing that sense of exploration and the skinned knees from tree climbing that I came to know so well as a young'un.It's time to come out of hibernation …

Planning a spring break getaway? Color me jealous! I've been dreaming of a 1960s style Beach Boys themed beach trip, and a spring break vacation is just the right excuse to head for warm sands and tasty waves. Etsy Vintage has all the accouterments you'll require for lazy days on the shore. Fire up the portable …
Etsy Finds: Journey Down to the Bayou
Even though I've never had the opportunity to venture through the streets of New Orleans' French Quarter, I find this cultural city to be a great inspiration in fashion and home décor, with its historical architecture, sounds of jazz, and smells of Creole cooking. New Orleans is on the top of my list of places …
Warm Weather Fantasies...
Oh, to be somewhere warm and tropical when the weather grows cold and grim! Summer is a long way off here in the Northern Hemisphere, so vacation fantasies of someplace warm and inviting (Buenos Aires, perhaps?) are just too tempting! Pack your bags and prepare for another getaway with these warm weather …
Crossing Borders: Short Stories of Expats in Europe, Part 2
After I finished my last collection of stories, Crossing Borders: Short Stories of Expats in Europe, I still felt there was so much more to tell. The move I made from Australia to Greece has made me curious about others who have done the same thing: How did they make the big decision? How did moving to a faraway …
Etsy World Tour: Paper Dolls in Japan
I met Chisako Higashiya, aka Japanesepaperdoll, at a Thanksgiving dinner she hosted during my first year living in Japan. As far as I know, she was the only person in the area with an oven big enough to cook a turkey—and a heart big enough to invite thirty foreign teachers into her home to celebrate a North …
