Hey family! So a few weeks ago, specifically March 13th, I applied for a travel writing scholarship with World Nomads. I know, I’ve been keeping it under wraps. Kind of afraid, I guess. That nagging voice in my head keeps interjecting, what if I don’t get it, then everyone would know. I hate that voice …
On my last trip to Thailand, I spent way too much time in Bangkok. Let me preface this by saying, I am not a city girl at all and Bangkok is the definition of metropolitan. It’s too busy, a little bit smelly, and very loud. However, like every city, it has its charms, the people …

In case I haven’t mentioned, I’m single. And Yes, I am looking. Hell, I am avidly looking. At the gas station, at the grocery store, at the UPS man when he drops off my Amazon packages. We all know the delivery man is a Godsend. Lol, I wish I was joking. As much as I’ve …
