I don’t remember where we bought the box of chocolates for Ryan’s little half-sister that had her favorite K-pop band “Big Bang” emblazoned on the cover, but I’m pretty sure that we didn’t buy it from any store inside the Gwangjang Market. Indeed, Gwangjang Market was not where one went searching for items depicting KoreanContinue reading “I Admit That I’m Not an Adventurous Eater”

The perfect place to start a Viking journey
A Stockholm Story We started our trip in Stockholm on a street corner where we puzzled over the mystery of how a metal barrier post thing, which, to our eyes, looked every bit like the front end of a sawed-off cannon, got so knocked off kilter in an area of town where supposedly no motorContinue reading “The perfect place to start a Viking journey”
Turning 40
A birthday I didn’t want to be home for. Having a birthday so close to Christmas means that I never go anywhere to celebrate it. I hate crowds and spending money, and traveling over the Christmas holiday is the deadly combination of both. I have never been anywhere other than where I live on theContinue reading “Turning 40”
Crater of Diamonds
When I told Ryan that I wanted to go to Arkansas and dig for diamonds after reading an article about some kid that recently scooped up a sizable diamond at The Crater of Diamonds State Park, I remember his response being something along the lines of, “You want to go where and do what now?”Continue reading “Crater of Diamonds”
That Time We Visited Naples
It’s a good thing Ryan doesn’t know any Italian because that way he had no idea what the guy holding a massive fish tank was yelling at him. I don’t know any Italian either, but I was pretty sure the angry guy holding an unwieldy fish tank was pissed that Ryan was standing in hisContinue reading “That Time We Visited Naples”
The Day I Would Eventually Regret
There were a few occasions when there was something on tour at The Art Institute of Chicago that was too good to miss which made driving to Chicago from Milwaukee worth it. I recall one exhibit in particular that saved both my mom and me a trip to Scotland when many of the works created byContinue reading “The Day I Would Eventually Regret”
A Milwaukee Story
…that of course includes a trip to Chicago. I actually never really minded having to go back to Milwaukee as often as I did, as there was a certain something about that city which has always intrigued me. Milwaukee is a city that no one seems to watch, and it never surprised me why a personContinue reading “A Milwaukee Story”

A Random Selection of Words
In honor of my new travel memoir being released last week, I decided to scroll through it until I said “stop” to myself and post whatever words I landed on. I ended up somewhere in the middle of Chapter Six where I was lonely in Dijon: Being alone doesn’t depress me, but loneliness does. IContinue reading “A Random Selection of Words”
