San Francisco in One Square Mile: Exploring Cow Hollow, Russian Hill, and the Marina District
I recently made a short visit to San Francisco with Mary of Twenty Two West to assist her in her booth at West Coast Craft. I know, what a dream gig, right? My last visit to San Francisco was with Michael in 2015, and we pretty much checked off every item on every guidebook’s list …

Four Days in St. Croix Travel Guide
Back in August, Michael and I took our first flight since the start of the pandemic. We weren’t even planning to travel by air; we were set on doing a mini-road trip to Richmond, Virginia, to celebrate our dating anniversary (13 years – time flies!). But, as I often do when I’m bored, I found …
Journal | 10.1.21
Happy October! We’re still a few weeks away from peak fall foliage, but there are signs of autumn’s arrival everywhere.

Michael and I were visiting the city for a single night as part of a very quick road trip through the Yellowhammer State, and our visit just so happened to fall on Sunday. With a visit to Scottsboro and Huntsville already under our …
36 Hours in Luxembourg City
I think we got off on the wrong foot with little Luxembourg. Our journey by train from Amsterdam was met with sudden route changes, extending our transit time to a full seven hours – which meant we were filled with a bit of regret before we even arrived. And though in many parts of Europe, …
Where to Find the Best Coffee in Amsterdam
On my recent trip to Amsterdam, I had plenty of opportunities to explore Amsterdam’s coffee scene during my week in the city, particularly after a rough flight over. There are certainly many places to get your caffeine fix, but I also found a few duds. To help you avoid the latter, I thought I would …
How to Brew Great Coffee at Home with a Chemex
You hear it all the time – after all, it’s essentially the first pillar of financial literacy: Your $5 daily latte habit adds up to $1,825 annually – imagine what you could do with all of that extra money! Would you believe that in the not-so-distant past, I used to go to Starbucks every day? …
36 Hours in Jacksonville, Florida
It was surfing that brought Michael and me to Jacksonville one weekend. Not what you expected, right? Perhaps a sporting event or convention or family or something, but not surfing. Yet there we were on a recent Saturday, standing on the beach in our swimsuits and wondering what we’d gotten ourselves into. This post contains …
