It’s been some time since I wrote a blog. On June 1, 2022, I opened a coffee shop with my business partner. On June 2, 2022, I found out we were pregnant. In a few weeks, I resigned from my day job to focus on freelance work – branding and marketing. It sure has been…
Though the past year has been full of personal successes, it has felt quite heavy. Heavy with the weight of emotion. I have been unable to put words down often and yet they churn inside of me constantly. My opinions and my feelings are constantly boiling and when they come out through my voice they…
I’ve got to get back to writing for myself. I wrote these words on a small notepad recently after the thought ran itself through my mind at least a dozen times. In the past year, writing has become my day job. I love it – managing content for a community magazine and telling stories of…
The sky is a smooth, pearly grey on the morning of August 27th when we climb out of our rental car in Ireland. We stand in a small parking lot jutting off what I assume is someone’s house. Only one other car sits parked in the space. Green grass sprawls in all directions, littered only…
Zagreb, Croatia It was early afternoon when I landed in Zagreb, Croatia. The capital city honestly didn’t look that much different from home as we headed away from the airport in the back of our taxi. But we didn’t pay too much attention to the surroundings: I was still busy gushing to my best friend…
After ten days in Croatia exploring with my best friend, and before that hanging out in Ireland with Jackson, I was alone for the first time in weeks (ever, in a foreign country). I had been excited for this part of the trip, too. Similar to how I had been excited for the next day…
Did something a bit different with this post! We took turns sharing about our experience as we planned and then embarked on our Croatian adventure. Two friends, but two very different people, we talk about why traveling with a companion can change how you travel. Lindsey: Eventually we just have to pick somewhere, I texted…
You can’t really call a day and a half a vacation, but you can call it an adventure. When I put this post on my blog calendar it was actually going to be titled “In-between the Waves,” but after we got home I realized we didn’t even do the whole beach thing. All of my…
I always love it when a friend points someone my way because they make a good interview candidate. My long-time friend and In-between contributor, Madison, told me she’d met someone she knew had some great stories to tell. She then introduced us over email. I’m in awe that technology provides us with ways to meet…
Just a month ago I was at TravelCon in Boston for my first travel conference. It was my first conference, of that size at least, ever. On the first evening we milled about happy hour meeting fellow attendees and speakers alike. I found myself in a cluster of people that were chatting with Benny Lewis…
