Summer abroad in Italy.

Hey friends!

Long time, no write. I know you guys have been wondering where have I been. I haven’t blogged in over two years. Your girl has been busy. I started a business, went back to school and have been trying to get acclimated to living in Michigan again. The first two mentioned have been successful but living in Michigan has been challenging. It’s not because I don’t like it here. I don’t regret my decision to move from NYC, but my social life is non-existent. I miss that about New York. There was always something to do. And even if you didn’t have any one to roll with, you could go solo and either see people you knew or make friends. My spirit hasn’t motivated me to go to events by myself yet. Although I’m a frequent patron at the movies solo. Shout out to AMC A-List pass! I’ve seen just about ALL movies.

I’m still traveling. Since I’ve last written on this blog, I’ve been to Cuba, Mexico, the Caribbean and many other places! A recap will possibly come soon. But don’t hold me to it. Oh yeah, I also lived in Italy last summer. Some of you may have noticed if you follow my Instagram. That was life changing. It was great for my soul. I’m looking to live abroad again soon. Perhaps somewhere in South America.

I may grimace over not having a social life, but there are so many good things that have happened since I’ve moved back. I get to spend valuable time with my parents. We are always laughing when we get together. I value this time I get to spend with them. I moved away from home when I was 18 and stayed gone. Although we’ve always been close, we are making up for loss time. It’s fun. I’m grateful that I have a wonderful relationship with them.

I would have never been able to start a business or go to school if I were still living in NYC. Time and money wouldn’t have allowed for it because the cost of living is crazy high. But the Midwest is more reasonable.

Thankfully working for myself has allowed me the opportunity to travel when I want. I don’t have to request days off from work. I can just book a ticket and go. Up next I will be traveling to Honduras. I can’t wait.

I guess that’s it for now. I just wanted to jump on here and recap what’s been going on and why I haven’t blogged in a month of Sundays.

I’m back.

I won’t let two years come between us again.

I hope all of you are having a great new year!
