Walking into Forecastle Festival, the sensory overload immediately hits you. The ground vibrating, the sculpture installations, it smelled like sunscreen and sweat. It’s held right on the riverfront in downtown Louisville, so the beautiful Ohio river is the backdrop for three out of the four stages – it was like the park was built for … [Read more…]
Ahhhh day three: The last day of Forecastle 2017. My feet were saying “finally” but my heart was saying “noooo it can’t be over!” But I walked into the festival excited, because today was the lineup of all lineups: Whitney, Charles Bradley, Foxygen, Conor Oberst, PJ Harvey, and Weezer. Unfortunately, Whitney had to cancel because … [Read more…]
Day two! Not nearly as hungover as I thought I’d be. We slept in a little, had mimosas and lunch at a local spot, then headed to the festival.

But, I did not think about how muddy music festivals can be, or how freaking HOT they are. My legs were … [Read more…]

Every time I get asked about my bucket list, of course I always think big; Paris, Mykonos, Moscow, and so on. But then I start thinking about all of the beautiful things in my own country that I haven’t seen yet. Which is silly, because it’s much easier—financially and logistically—to see all of those things … [Read more…]
Last week, we took my boyfriends dog, Zulu, camping with us for the first time. We spent the weekend in a beautiful cabin in Hocking Hills. While we thought we were prepared for everything, I quickly realized we’re NEVER prepared for anything unless we’ve done it before. So here’s a list of everything I WISH … [Read more…]

With Christmas, Valentine’s Day, and our anniversary all within a couple months of each other, we decided to combine them all for one getaway weekend in a beautiful cabin in the Hocking Hills. To make it a little more interesting, we decided to … [Read more…]
