  • On the hunt

    I’ve been job hunting now for a few months. I was part of the layoffs in tech. Super fun. But, actually, it has been pretty fun. I’ve reconnected with a few passions, I’m spending lots of time sleeping and sorting out my health, and I’m only spending time with people that I genuinely adore right

  • Day o the Irish

    Happy St. Paddy’s Day friends. It’s the day that all Americans pretend they are Irish (some unaware that they are indeed, not Irish). Americans host parties, throw parades, lean in to heavy drinking and pretend it’s not something that they do every weekend. Today I will be imbibing in a few tipples myself, though likely

  • Wine in your 40s

    I’ve loved wine since my early 20s, when most of my peers were guzzling vodka sodas. I dove head first into it during college, and got a total kick out of being in wine country. I went to school in California, and so my friends and I took advantage of our Spring Breaks to explore

  • Back to life, London, love

    Alas, it is all coming to an end. In a few hours I will board my last long haul flight of this trip and make my way back to London.  I have mixed feelings about it if I’m honest. This flight signals the end of my sabbatical and the beginning of real life and it

  • Travels ends at The Barrel Room

    Alas, after almost 4 months away from my home in London, I am returning to Battersea this Thursday. I miss my friends and my lovely flat so I am very much looking forward to being surrounded by familiarity soon.

  • Happy Friday Wine Lovers

    The weekend is almost here. What are your plans? My parents are coming into town from Seattle tomorrow afternoon. I am very much looking forward to it. My dad loves an English pub so no doubt I’ll be taking him out for a beer & burger as soon as he touches down. My mum is

  • Love: Chile-an on the holidays

    I spent the holidays this year with my sister and parents in Minnesota. My sister has moved her family there recently and they have bought a beautiful house in Minnetonka. It was snowy and gorgeous – even though its not the same as Seattle, I felt at home in the icy cold. In preparation for

  • My NY Resolution…

    Looking around London at the moment, you would think that the entire city has gone for an extended jog. Dusting off the cobweb infested trainers and hitting the park, the sidewalk or the riverbank with reckless abandon. I hate to be a spoil sport but I can’t wait for the omg-my-saddle-bags-are-hitting-my-ankles resolutions to be over
