So, due to obvious reasons, it looks like I’m not going to be able to do the awesome international trip I had planned for this year. Instead, I’m going to make the second half of 2020 the Autumn of Epic Road Trips! I can’t wait to see more of what America the Beautiful has to offer! (and spend time with the best travel companions ever!) In the meantime, I’m just so excited to be travel planning again! :-)

Buds on trees, babies

It’s okay to be sad. It’s okay to be anxious. It’s okay to be angry. It’s okay to mourn the joys, the opportunities, the dreams, and the sense of security that this virus has taken from us. We will get through this, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t hurt in the meantime. Be kind to yourself and to others. #spreadgoodnotgerms
