After nearly a whole year of surviving out of a suitcase, I'm finally ready to settle down and unpack. This is much unlike my always traveling self, so I thought I'd offer some tips while the experiences are still fresh in my mind. #travel #wanderlust #lifetips @wandergluttony

7 Packing Tips for Surviving out of a Suitcase

It’s weird to be feeling relief in unpacking large boxes into my new apartment, yet here I am getting settled in (at least for now.) Although my technical world travels lasted me three months, by happenstance I’ve been primarily surviving out of a suitcase just short of a full year… So it makes sense while one part of me is itching to see the world and living vicariously through my former roomie, another side of me is ready to be domesticated.

And The Liebster Award Goes To…

Woah! What a week. I’ve had a lot of awesome news these part 7 days, some of which I’m not quite ready to share with the world (NO, I am NOT pregnant.) Coupled with my favorite holiday, Halloween, of which we all got an extra hour of this year I’d say it was a week well accomplished. Thanks for coming through Daylight Savings Time. And hello, November! I can’t hardly believe this year has gone by so quickly, but it’s not time to reflect on that just yet… One of the amazing things I woke […]
