Before my life as a business traveler I spent a couple of years during college waitressing. It was the most fun job I’ve had, but working as a waitress was harder than I thought it would be.

What was going on this week in years past? 2013 I gave some tips for styling your hair on the road. My first few months back at work after having my baby gave me some insight into how to travel for work as a new parent. 2012: Singing the praises of the White Noise App.…
While in New York last month I had the opportunity to eat at some amazing places. This isn’t super unusual—I make a point to eat at interesting and (hopefully) delicious restaurants anytime I travel. This time, however, the thing that struck me was that each of these eateries not only had amazing food but was…

I never put it together that they are from the same company, but they are! Michelin recently reached out to me with an invitation to join their Ambassador program. I…
A couple of weeks ago I went to Boston. While my actual work was in the suburbs, I unexpectedly ended up with one free evening. Even though it would have been easier to stay in my comfy Hampton Inn bed and catch up on Property Brothers, I decided to have an adventure and head to…
When I think of great food, I don’t often think of airports. There are only a handful of places where I’ve had memorable meals, and just a few that I actually look forward to.
