Where we’re at: I’m jumping ahead to share my time in Upstate New York in October and November. I’ll jump back into chronological time next! PS: Did you see we’re holding a retreat in Upstate New York in the fall of 2021? Sign up here — it’s 50% sold out already! In 2020, I felt home […]

And my road trip wasn’t over yet! So we headed up to Margaret’s hometown of Rochester, New York, to really relax for a weekend. You know, lay around […]

Looking up from my iPhone, I surveyed my surroundings. A calm lake broken only by a few slow kayaks, a crisp glass of local white wine, an American flag stirring […]

One of the main objectives of my trip to Rochester — other than visiting my sister, of course — was to check Niagara Falls off my list. Just five hours from my hometown of Albany and only an hour and a half from Rochester, it’s crazy to think I didn’t see it before — after all […]

One of my goals in being location independent and working for myself was to have more time to not just travel but to spend with friends and family. So I made good on that this summer and visited Margaret — the second oldest of my three sisters — in Rochester, New York. I hadn’t been to […]
