Hello, everyone!

I’m so happy it is officially the weekend. After being sick last week and having a full week of work this week, I’m definitely glad for the break. Here’s what’s been going on in my life lately:

Work

My boss has been gone for the past two weeks, so work has been pretty relaxed. Today, we even got told by the interim head of department that we could leave early! I was so excited to leave at 5 for the first (and probably the last) time ever! Plus, I had finished all my work that morning, so I didn’t have anything to do anyways.

I finally started an Instagram for my travels. I felt guilty making all my friends relive my travels with me so now I get to share pictures with a community that enjoys them :) Follow me!

Online shopping

I hate shopping for things in person, but ever since I’ve learnt my size at Banana Republic and Gap, I’ve really enjoyed shopping for work clothes online. Only when there are sales though. I’ve got some great pieces for really good prices that I can see staying in my wardrobe for years.

Wanderlust

Lately, I’ve been looking at flights to England, Quebec, and Germany. I miss seeing new places SO much that I really want to just pick up and leave. However, I still have three months of work left and almost no money to spend on anything but necessities. I have started looking at grad school programmes abroad though, so maybe later on this autumn I can make more plans for travel :)

HEAT

It is too hot in NYC. Basically like Tampa right now, which I am not a fan of. I am looking forward to autumn more than ever and I hope it comes soon.

The first time DC has seen at least 1 inch of snow The first time DC has seen at least 1 inch of snow in 728 days and I couldn't be happier ❄️❄️❄️ Snow is also the only thing that can get me out of bed before 8am to go for a walk 🤩 #lifewellwandered
One of my favorite things about traveling in Franc One of my favorite things about traveling in France is the constant reminder to slow down. ✨ On a spontaneous stop in Tours after a busy morning of castle-visiting, we visited the cathedral (more on that soon) and wandered over to Place Plumereau. My former self would have wanted to maximize sightseeing, making a quick stop and moving on. 💥 However, the groups of people enjoying the beautiful weather with wine and cheese made it impossible to refuse a snack and break myself. 🍷🧀 Sitting on a terrace surrounded by others just ~being~ was a great reminder to slow down and soak up the moment 😌 #lifewellwandered #mindfultravel
What's one thing you always notice when you visit What's one thing you always notice when you visit a historical building? 🤓 I always notice floors and staircases, constantly imagining who used them and the history they've witnessed. ✨ The staircases in the châteaux in the Loire Valley did not disappoint 😍 #lifewellwandered
Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and b Château de Châteaudun has one of the largest and best preserved keeps in France, dating from the 12th century 🤓 at 102 ft (31m) tall, it dominates your view when you visit. SWIPE to see more shots from the château, including centuries-old graffiti from the castle's prisons 😯 #lifewellwandered

Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Somethi Do you prefer French or English gardens? 🌸 Something about the symmetry of French gardens (pictured here) is very pleasing to me, but I really dislike the rules that come along — no walking on grass, no random meandering from one spot to another, limited to the confines of your current trajectory. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I enjoy the freedom and wildness (is that a real word?) of English gardens much more! #lifewellwandered
Which half-timbered building would you live in? 🤔 Which half-timbered building would you live in? 🤔 Whenever I'm in Europe, I always find myself drawn to these quirky, wonky buildings, each with a unique history. 🤓 Drop me in any one and I would be content 😍 #lifewellwandered
