Thanks for joining us on this journey! I'm so glad you're here. I'm a writer and travel essayist with a goal of "Rolling to 100" countries in my lifetime. For me, it's not about checklist tourism, but about deep, immersive travel and the life-changing lessons we can learn from it. In my spare time, I provide writing support to others through Rollerbag Goddess Global Communications. I'll take on almost any kind of writing, including speechwriting, blogging, websites and much more! Travel and food writing are my twin passions, which are only eclipsed by my relentless pursuit of experiences worth writing about.

Getting My Fix: Making Bagels
March 18, 2016
One of the things I miss most about living in New York is the authentic New York bagel. Around here in La Crosse, we are subject to some anemic-looking gummy things that come in a plastic sack from the grocery store and masquerade as bagels. I miss Murray’s. So on a recent Saturday, I decided … More Getting My Fix: Making Bagels
