Remember when I wrote about my hilarious travel screw ups? Brightly colored Instagram photos at luxury resorts (usually with a skinny hot girl posing with a coconut drink on a beach) don’t reflect the reality of travel. Travel is messy. Mistakes happen especially in unfamiliar cities and cultures. Luckily I always laugh at myself. My mistakes create […]
I love dresses. Some people are crazy about jeans or skirts, but dresses are totally my “fashion jam.” I think I own at least twenty dresses and maybe three pairs of jeans. See what I mean? I will choose a dress every. single. time. Even when I travel. On my camping trip to Canada I packed a […]
Do you want to visit Tallinn in Estonia? Great choice! Who wouldn’t want to visit Tallinn? It’s a gorgeous country! As for me, Estonia had lingered on my “travel wishlist” radar for FAR too long! I’m not sure what intrigued me, exactly. I mean, have you ever seen pictures of a place and just wanted […]
Time to state the obvious. The news is scary. Headlines are even scarier if you’re prone to anxiety or have anxious friends and family. BREAKING NEWS. Two words that immediately put me on edge. This isn’t surprising. I mean, something as simple as an unread email or text message makes me dwell, thoughts exploding in my […]
May Highlights Greetings, wayfarers! It’s time for my monthly news post … almost a week late! Sorry, the time escaped me. The end of the school year is always insane. Finals, field trips, paperwork.

So I don’t feel as if I’m the proper authority to speak on the subject. In this post, Kara Lockwood of “Creative Heart Travel” explains how travel helps her with depression. If you […]
Last summer I deeply enjoyed my time at TBEX in Stockholm. I had been wanting to go to Sweden for a long time, because Scandinavian design is one of my most favorite things ever. Stockholm turned out to be a great choice for me – in more ways than one. Even though prices are high […]
Happy birthday, Blond Wayfarer! Yup! Time flies! My amazing blog is officially two years old! How the heck did I ever stick with something for this long? I still don’t know how I did it. Most of my projects … Ehh, never mind. Let’s stay positive. To be honest, I completely forgot about my “blogiversary.” […]
I still can’t believe my birthday is over! I dreaded my birthday for months. Now that it’s done I feel … the same, haha. Much ado about nothing, huh? Still, irony was on my side last week. Backstory: I’m a bit of a messy person. I’m not a hoarder (ugh, could you imagine?), but when it comes to […]
