San Francisco Recap: What to Do/ Where to Eat

One of my favorite parts about being a consultant is that I get to travel all over the place to work with different clients.

5 Tips for Planning a Day Trip to Yosemite National Park

Yosemite was my first trip to a national park and it did not disappoint! Not only did I have perfect weather, but I also spend the ideal amount of time there.

If you’re super into nature you could go for a weekend trip or longer. However, If you can’t tell I don’t… View Post
