Want to go to Germany next week?

I talk a lot about my need for stability and predictability in my life. But that doesn’t mean I don’t enjoy last minute trips or surprises.. As long as there’s at least *some* planning involved. It was the middle of December and I was about to start a work trip with my Buddy Bidder, Jake. […]

Mahalo Maui

One of the obvious perks to this job is the flight benefits. So when a friend from high school moved out to Maui in Fall of last year, I knew I had to add a visit to my calendar. The last week of February seems like an unconventional time to visit a tropical paradise. But […]

Spice of life

As much as I crave stability, I now realize I crave variety. This quarantine has shown me what I have been searching for my entire life. Peter Pan with a paycheck. I don’t want to be a real grown up. I don’t want a normal life. I want adventure. And fun. And memories. And insane […]

Roll with it

There’s so little we can actually control in our lives. We can control our day to day decisions of what we do and who we talk to and how we want to spend our time and energy and emotional responses. But in the grand scheme of things, the world is really out of our control. […]

Two years down

It’s been two years since I earned my wings. Two years of take-offs and landings, short overnights, bad hotel beds, great hotel beds, early sign-ins, red-eye flights. Two years of packing a suitcase in the morning and not knowing where I’d sleep that night. Two years of new cities and old friends, street food and […]

Holding pattern

The older I get the more I realize how much I crave stability. In my relationships, finances, career. I wouldn’t go as far as to say I need to control everything – though some may argue that – but I like predictability and knowing, relatively, how things are going to work out. So when some […]

Party in PTY

It’s rare you get to work with the same people twice in my career. It’s even more rare to work with the same people twice, when you actually click and get along with them. I visited Panama, my 12th country of 2019, in September and was blessed to have an amazing crew member I met […]

Shipping up to Boston

I have visited Boston a few times, but a year and half of flying never gave me a long enough layover to really get into the city and experience it. This August, I finally got the chance. I try not to make too solid of plans for layovers because the joke in the airline industry […]

Golden State of Mind

When I saw scheduling assign me a San Francisco layover, you could say I was pretty excited. Not only had I never been to SFO, I was working with one of my favorite fellow flight attendants so I knew this was going to be a great trip. After going out Saturday night in San Fran, […]

Toronto, Eh?

It’s been a while since I’ve written and I survived summer flying. My second summer on the line went surprisingly much better than my first. Some of the worst weather, delays, mechanical issues and short layovers were all in the first few months of my career. Maybe I just got used to that as the […]
