I have traveled to 30 out of the 50 states in the United States of America. I finally had my first international trip in 2021 at the age of 40. I actually had to get a passport to where I could travel to Costa Rica. My partner and family had already traveled down, which meant that I was flying down solo. I was in Costa Rica for 2 weeks and absolutely fell in love with the culture, food, and the amazing views. As a photographer, I took a LOT of pictures and videos. Please join me on this amazing journey that led me to consider relocating to Costa Rica.

Things in the radius of possibilities. This is a nod to a running joke a friend and I have about how something can be pretty close but I'm willing to drive twice as far if it lands me somewhere in more familiar. Area relevant example, when in Lawrence, Topeka is often closer for whatever store; however, I will drive twice as far the opposite direction on 70 to not end up running errands in Topeka. 🙃

I have read many books, but these are a few of the ones that I have truly enjoyed. Throne of Glass is my favorite series ever, but don’t tell the other girls because I don’t actually care for ACOTAR, Crescent City, or even Fourth Wing (I promise I’ve read them all). I want a book that requires a whole lot of world and character building as well as an awesome and unique magic system. There’s an added bonus if there’s a completely bad ass female main character too.

Nothing kills the post-workout mood faster than chugging a shake full of chalky powder clumps — been there, gagged on that. If you're someone who mixes protein in the gym parking lot and expects it to actually taste smooth, I spent way too long testing shakers so you can skip the trial and error. Grab one before your next leg day.
