It’s no surprise that traveling the world as a lifestyle is awesome. Nor that it also comes at great cost. I get the big picture and still think it’s worth it regardless of the sacrifices, but I really need to get more of the good stuff in if I’m going to be able to survive …
Go ahead and judge me. I’m used to it. I love to party. That feeling of relaxing while letting anxiety and inhibitions go as the buzz kicks in is like spinach to Popeye…or maybe like water to a gremlin if it gets too late in the night. To help people feel happy, excited and have …
In bed, I cried on Thanksgiving night. Not because things went bad, but because they went so good. If you follow my blog, you know that my dad is sick. My first trip abroad was in 2005 to multiple countries through an Australian tour group called Contiki. When I landed back in SFO, Pop was …

“Everything in moderation, including moderation.” Mark Twain As a “go big or go home” type of gal, this quote instantly gets my nipples hard. Still, there are times when even I need to slow down, regardless of being terrible at it. Every dream comes with struggle once turned into a reality. In the beginning we …
My brother is a Marine Vet. It was the only time we have ever been close. I got to play Mama to him and four of his fellow servicemen during their enlistment. I tried to join the Air Force myself but was told I was too fat. It was before the wars, so I’d imagine …

“Finally Normal People” It was a sign that instantly made me start to cry when seeing a woman holding it up at Burning Man. For me, it is just too true. If you’ve ever asked a Burner to describe Burning Man, you’re probably familiar with a look of confusion and panic. To chronicle such a …

Aha, the dance of life. In the words of Paula Abdul, one step forward, two steps back. Or ten. Going from averaging around $20 an hour driving for Lyft in the Bay Area after gas and car rental fees to about $3 in San Diego wasn’t exactly the change in work and money that I …
I’m all about helping people find self-acceptance, to feel loved, understood, entertained and to find the biggest smile they have in them. When getting ready to hit the road to drive for Lyft, I am often thinking about ways to rally shenanigans with passengers. Sometimes with lighthearted joking around, like when I point out my …
My passengers often ask me which country is my favorite of those I’ve visited so far. The answer is that it’s hard, if not impossible, to say since they all offer something different and are favorites in their own (though Rome is in the running). Kind of like the way we love each other and …
