an exaggerated, millennial journey
Recently I accidentally unlocked a memory from deep within my psyche. Do you remember as a kid, playing a board game where you had to match these little plastic pieces to the correct spot on the blue and red tray, in one minute? All the while this incessant ticking noise was building the anticipation and …
I encourage you for a moment to Imagine yourself on NYE in 2009. It’s a scary, distant thought isn’t it but bare with me. Details surrounding the night are blurry, and this was back before there was any drinking to blame, but I can connect some dots with some creative liberty. For me, I was …
We have all seen those ads on Facebook that has a stock photo of a person claiming to “Make 2,000 a week from your couch!!!!” or “Take surveys for MONEY” and “Retire today!”. We all know that those are scams, even if I have been sucked into several survey websites, earning a crisp 10 cents …
I hate saying goodbye. Actually, I am not sure if anyone really enjoys it but most people can do it without turning into a blubbering mess. I can feel the tears building up while giving the hug and then all it takes is for someone to say something so general like “It was really nice …
Lately I have been feeling like a poor, unfortunate soul. Emphasis on poor. Now before I get this going I want to make it clear, I don’t need your sympathies. I am a woman in my 20s, choosing to travel the world, and I have a very privileged life. However, I keep finding myself in …

Alternative title: Is travelling hard, or am I just an idiot?: An ongoing saga I have spent the past 455 days overseas. 14 days in Vietnam, 14 in Thailand, 15 in Hawaii, 13 in New Zealand and the other 399 days in Australia. In Oz alone I have had 4 jobs, lived in 7 houses, …
Hey, it’s me Heather and I guess I am 24 now. In the midst of a ski season across the world, I have had another birthday come and go. See ya never 23, never really liked you anyways, hello 24! I spent the day snowboarding (which is a first because it was 30 degrees at …
Hey, it’s me Heather and I am back baby. Before you go ahead and get all excited, I want to mention now this is just a tiny check in post to let you know I am still alive and I haven’t forgotten about you. My excuse? It sounds like a cliche excuse but honestly, I …
