Portugal 2024
My love and I went on our first international trip this summer. Like many of our peers, we went to Europe, Portugal to be exact. Both of us are experienced travelers and have visited several ports all across the EU (and UK), but never Portugal. I knew very little about what to expect and found…

April 2024
Spring time in New England means blustery winds that still smell like a hint of snow, cold rainy mornings that turn into sun warmed afternoons, bright blooms of irises and daffodils and hyacinths glowing against still barren trees and the new green of just sprouted grass.

The Body in Pain is a Wild Thing
When I was 13, I began a war against my body. It decided to grow taller and wider and rounder than any of the other kids in my class. Like many of this age, I hated even the idea of standing out. I thought: if I couldn’t be shorter, maybe I could collapse into myself…
