Baby I went from hating cooking to actually really loving it recently, so listen up. Why I started trying to like cooking You have to eat to live. That’s all. And I realized I was spending about $500 a month eating out (my eyes are covered, I’m embarrassed) which is $500 I could be saving…

Adventures at home – driving
If you ask any of my friends what has kept Amy sane during this quarantine epoch, most of them will probably say, “Driving for EatStreet.” My job was not really deemed essential, apparently, at the start of the lockdowns, so I went out and got an “essential” job. Apparently delivering people pretzel bites from the…
4 things I’ve learned from sitting still
I am way too busy. My creativity explodes when I have a whole day by myself in my home (my little creative getaway.) The juices barely even start rolling until I’m four hours in to just hanging. I will write for hours, dance, play the piano, rap (eh-em), mix music. But if I am go-go-go,…
2020
This post is more for me than you. I’m processing. I have always believed that adventure is where you are. That adventure is a mindset. That has been challenged this past year, but I believe it is coming out stronger than ever. After a lot of tears. I had tickets bought and a trip paid…
Downtime
I think I’m an introvert. For those of you who know me, you know that’s a joke. Yet there is something incredibly magical about hours, days, potentially weeks upon weeks of uninterrupted space — space to practice my art, to live the life of a professional artist. To dance for hours; to write thousands of…
Panama City
I love you Panama City. I <3 Panama City. City of lights, of tropical artsy vibe, of street cats and uptown feels and terraces overlooking the stunning skyline of skyscrapers and lights. Of the land stretching along the ocean, of accented foreign English, of people from all over the world, of bumpin’ reggaeton and amapolas…
Paraguay: The land of the chipa
I absolutely loved Paraguay. This goes back to my concept of travel versus vacationing: I absolutely love a completely normal country. A country that’s like, the Wisconsin of South America. That’s what I considered Paraguay; also, I am from Wisconsin. Nothing people would fly around the world to see, like New York City or the…
To engage is vulnerable
I confess this has nothing to do with travel. But it’s my current adventure. Just left a master class led by a few of the Ailey II dancers – incredible, capable artists and dancers. And I’m a little inspired right now. Get into your body and out of your head. Engage. Dance from the moment…
Dreams that wait….
Not every dream happens overnight. I’m in this weird place right now where I decided to go on a long, indefinite backpacking trip. Yet I am finishing out my semester of dance, staying at my job I love a little longer, spending time with family and friends a little longer. And it freaks me out…
