My career has always been top of my mind. I spent my school years running social media and planning events, and I spent my summers in chilly office buildings at various internships. As my four years came to a close and college graduation came closer and closer, I naturally started applying to public relations jobs in Washington, D.C.Read More »
A few months ago, I wrote a post on why you should travel alone. Traveling alone might be intimidating, but it also doesn’t mean that you’re going to be alone the whole time.

When you think of travel, you probably think of having the time of your life in some new adventure, right? While travel can lead to fantastic experiences, I’m here to talk about what people don’t talk about – when travel gets hard.Read More »
I’ll start this off by telling you that I’m not saying you should travel to anyplace that’s dangerous or unsafe by any means.

As someone who’s very career-driven but also wants to see the world, I’ve been asking myself these questions for quite some time.

In the end, I loved my first solo travel experience this past weekend in Dublin! While it’s certainly fun to share your travel experiences with friends and family, solo travel can be a great as well because it can open you up to getting to know yourself better and becoming more independent as well as open you up to meeting new people.
