Mist like a sea moves through the city: tall medieval spires pierce through the undulating grey cloud. Suspended by some unseen force, they float above the streets. In the whole world, there’s nothing quite like the medieval skyscrapers that rise along Princes Street Gardens, majestically welcoming visitors into Old Town. Upon entering Edinburgh’s Old … More A Few Bewitching Days in Edinburgh
I’ve spent the last two years and seven months of my life dedicated to finding My Favorite Coffee Shop in Columbus. Just kidding. I barely drank coffee until a year ago and my life is already thoroughly dedicated to Netflix. I can walk to all three of these cafés from home or work, but that … More My Coffee Shops

Local craft breweries, especially in Akron and Cleveland, are also some of my favorite places to lean in on a picnic table with friends to discuss the important topics of today like, “what’s for dinner?!” … More I Choose Beer
I can pinpoint four meals with startling accuracy in time and space, which have left an imprint on my soul. … More “It’ll Change Your Life!”
