IT’S ALL GREEK TO ME

its-all-greek-to-me

I didn’t grow up a world traveler. The Midwest is where I dug my roots and the closest I ever got to “wanderlust” were the summers I spent at my grandparent’s house in Monongahela, PA. Don’t get me wrong. I was not raised in a bubble. My parents exposed my brothers and I to art and culture and food and educational experiences- more so than most. But we were never a family that took exotic vacations. It wasn’t within our means and our focus was experiences (think art camp and jazz performances) over locations. That is…

BEANTOWN’S 5 BEST COFFEE SPOTS

One of my favorite things about exploring a new city is trying out new coffee shops. There’s no better way to get a handle on the local scene or to enjoy some prime people watching, if you ask me. In truth, my love for coffee is big and bold and strong (much like how I prefer my brews) and I make it a rule to apply this philosophy on all of my travels.For those of you who don’t know me personally, I officially moved to Boston over two years ago (time flies!) and my love for this…
