Office on Cudjoe key
I jumped at the opportunity to head back down to the keys for a week to work at a beautiful private rental that Angie and Gordon use as their base camp for a tarpin fishing business… I’ve sat at worse desks….
The Oak
For Mother’s day, I was sadly unable to hang out with my mom as I have done in the past. I was blessed, though, to be able to hang out with my aunt who has been a mother to three wonderful women, countless world wanderers, and me.

The week of motorbikles
From the moment I landed in Daytona, the city has been arumble with the sound of Bike Week. There are bikes everywhere with people of all shapes, sizes, and sexes aboard them… About 1/5 of them are on the side of the road, illuminated be by a blanket of red and blue light as well… But I’m sure they were… Read more →
