a few of my favorites

traveling the world is something i strongly aspire to do.

whether simply driving across the country,

or spending time abroad, 

either sound lovely to this girl.

however, as a student and new teacher,

traveling is not necessarily something i can afford.

this saddens me.

in the cold winter months (especially), it is hard not to feel stuck -

stuck in your house, stuck at your job, or stuck in the city in which you reside.

i live and work in the seattle area;

a city with much to offer.

while it is sometimes difficult to see outside of the rain and gloom,

this city is beautiful. i am lucky to live here.

today i am collaborating with the seattle marriott,

encouraging you to travel and enjoy this pretty city we call home.
