Living in the middle of downtown Minneapolis can make it difficult to get outside and be in nature. Although there were quite a few factors that played into my decision to get involved in the 52 Hike Challenge community, this was my biggest reason. I've been struggling with living in a small apartment in the [...]
The east coast’s Portland was my home for less than six months – four months while I studied at a documentary school and, later, less than two months when I jumped on a plane after college graduation. The peninsula where the small city is situated had everything that I could ask for as a 22-year old [...]
When I was a freshman in college, study abroad was the furthest thing from my mind. I wanted to meet friends, get a good internship and start developing my career. But an opportunity to take a history class in England presented itself rather timely, and I'm not sure where I'd be today if I didn't [...]
Mojo Coffee Gallery isn’t squished in the middle of a busy city street or packed with millennials working away on their laptops. It’s situated on its own little corner in Northeast Minneapolis, quaint, yet seemingly booming.

Sedona holds a special place in my heart because of its unique atmosphere, both in town and in nature. You [...]
Perhaps most people would not write ‘spend a winter weekend in Fargo, North Dakota’ on their bucket list. But I’m not most people. Fargo is my other home. For the moment I consider myself a northern nomad, splitting time between Fargo, the city across the river from Moorhead (and my alma mater); Minneapolis, the place [...]
The Twin Cities has brewed a craft beer empire unlike any other. Travel and Leisure named Minneapolis-St. Paul the third best area for beer lovers. But more than the beer, I believe everyone should be able to experience the breweries in this thriving area because of its unique community. Here’s where to start. The well-knowns, [...]
Now that we're a few weeks into 2017, I've gotten a sense of what the year is looking like. Like me, you may have learned more about what your year will bring – weddings, family vacations, weekends with friends and more.The year gets so busy so quickly and vacation days are limited, so now is a [...]
