I’ve been traveling to Paris as a solo traveler for years now and personally stayed in every hotel on this list. I have tried many, many types of accommodations, and have settled on the fact that central Paris boutique hotels are the right fit for me. I’m thinking that if you’re reading this, you feel the same. Paris is a …
I’ve lived in New Orleans most of my life, so ghosts are simply part of the landscape for me. They aren’t novelties reserved for ghost tours. And they aren’t new to me or anyone from New Orleans. Some people are bigger believers than others, but we all know New Orleans is on the haunted side. People come here to experience …
Having lived most of my life in New Orleans, I would consider myself somewhat of an expert on my city. When I went into real estate in 2011, it became even more so because I got to know many parts of the city that I would have likely never have known. People tend to stay in their bubbles – in …
I’ve been solo traveling for over twenty years, and I feel like I’m only just getting started. My first solo trip was on a whim when I lived in Atlanta, and I took off to London for a week by myself. Though it’s hard for me to remember the details of all of it, I had my camera and my …
A short drive from my hometown of New Orleans on the Mississippi Gulf Coast, a magical little city called Ocean Springs, Mississippi awaits your visit. My connection to this city was immediate, and I knew I had to go back (and I have been back many times). Prior to the pandemic, I had little appreciation for the small cities and …

Walking around Paris is like walking in an outdoor museum, and I never get tired of the incredible sights. The endless bridges, the stunning …
Our mindset dictates much of our lives. It’s multi-faceted, and it’s not one size fits all. Our brains develop from our nature and our nurture, and everything in between, and each of us is 100% unique. Of course there are some common threads among us, but we are all wildly different beings, and that can be a great thing. Your …
I wasn’t always an optimist. The household I grew up in never felt optimistic or positive, and I remember thinking that optimism was for dreamers. Maybe it is, and I would now consider myself a dreamer, and overjoyed about it. Over the years, with much practice and interest in becoming a more positive person, I can confidently say that I …
New Orleans is famous for a lot of things: Mardi Gras, Bourbon Street, Voodoo, crawfish, and lots more. As a local, spring break in New Orleans might just be the best time for a visit to our unique city. It’s a time where we are emerging from Mardi Gras, entering warmer (but not oppressively hot) weather, and beginning to enjoy …
Friendships are an area of my life that I have grown to realize is in the top tier of importance. As I grow older, I see that my friends are the people who show up in my life the most. My family of origin story is very complicated and complex, and I’ve opted to distance myself from them. So, over …
