I’m a planner. I plan everything and tend to be uncomfortable when things aren’t thoroughly organized, be it traveling, teaching, etc. I like knowing what comes next, and am one of those people who eagerly anticipates buying the perfect new planner each year. But even as a planner, spontaneous travel has always been on my […]
Beer and Antiques
Beautiful plaza full of charming shops This weekend I fully intended to take it easy. Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up, and Tuesday one of my very best friends is coming to visit, so there’s a lot to get done and this weekend seemed like the perfect chance.

I wrote a little while back about celebrating Fakesgiving, and I was lucky enough to spend actual Thanksgiving with a smaller group of new friends in Berlin. It was incredible trip; the history and […]
Italy is Weird

I fully agree to be trafficked within and around Italy. Love, Jessica M. Streisel These first bunch of months have involved […]
