And Elsewhere!

Dear Friends and Family, After I left Big Bend NP, it still took me another day to cross the rest of Texas: I have many strong opinions about Texas, but my strongest opinion about Texas is that “there’s a lot of it.” And I mean a looooooot of it. I spent two full days driving…

Dear friends and family, Give ’em the ol’ razzle-dazzle So I’ve gone on a side trip! I didn’t originally plan to go to Big Bend National Park on this trip; I’m not that partial to deserts, my tent is not very easy to set up in sand, and the wind-blown dust can be a huge…

Dear Friends and Family, “Hey kids, you wanna buy some drugs” PSYCHE it’s an optical illusion! My head is not, in fact, on a platter, and is actually still firmly attached to my body (not that there seems to be any communication between the brain and the hands that type out these posts)! Such are…

Dear Friends and Family, We are now officially going coast-to-coast!! Unlike my 2023 road trip, there is nothing much I really want to see on the East Coast of this country. I’ve been up and down Delmarva and the Outer Banks several times in my life and there aren’t many Appalachian hikes I want to…

Dear Friends and Family, YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE ARE SOOOOOOOO FUCKING BACK BABES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *Huff* *Huff* *HOORF* Okay okay, I’m getting ahead of myself! But I am BACK and I am ON THE ROAD and I am BECOMING ONE WITH THE WORLD and I am WRITING TOO MUCH PURPLE PROSE!!!!!! And I have so much to tell…

Dear friends and family, Apologies for the delayed updates! As soon as I got home from France, I had to work quickly on getting prepared for my (multi-)nationwide for this spring and summer. I’ve been on the road for almost 2 weeks and I promise I will have a more reliable update schedule, wifi permitting.…

Dear Friends and Family, So, the whole of Orkney lies beneath my feet and tires. What was it like exploring it? For those unawares, Orkney is a series of islands off the very northern tip of Scotland. You may have heard the phrase “from John o’ Groats to Land’s End” to mean “encompassing the entirety…

Dear Friends and Family, I am officially back on my bullshit!!!! 💙💙💙 I have taken to the skies, the seas, the rails, and the road, and I am rambling around the world once again 💙 Damn, this plane is bisexual! Good for her 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I am flying high and nigh to the firmament of the…

Dear Friends and Family, I am roaming once again! I have stumbled out of the Isles of Orkney and into Edinburgh: Long time readers know that I struggle to make a blog post 1) on time and 2) under 10,000 words, but I am making exceptions to both these tendencies in the name of alerting…

I left the Bay on 26 September. I could have stayed another weekend, but caught a Friday flight instead so I could go to one of my best friend’s, Lis’s, birthday party: It was an album-cover-themed costume party. Who wore it better? 😉 But anyways: reflecting on my time in the Bay. I have tried…
