Picture it, Sicily 2019

I’ll jump right to it, going back to the “old country” was one of the coolest things I’ve been able to do since earning my wings. My dad is a proud Sicilian and very much into family history and lineage. His side of the family is relatively new to America, just a few generations, and […]

BELIZE it or not, this was paradise

“I don’t know about you, but there’s something so nice about being comfortable enough with someone to just sit and watch the sunrise together without having to say anything.” Caye Caulker, Belize is a tiny little island paradise that I’m already wanting to go back to. My best friends “found” the island a few years […]

Only a dream in Rio

The crew scheduling blessings continued to rain down. My second standby in February turned into a DREAM. Scheduling calls and says, “We’re going to deadhead you to Rio and then you’ll work back.” WHAT’S THAT YOU SAY?! A deadhead is essentially when the company needs to move flight attendants so they can work from another […]

You sound like you’re from London

I hope I’ll never stop being in awe of this job. Crew scheduling blessed me with another trip to London. I was called from standby so I had no idea until 50 minutes before scheduled departure. When we got there, two other crew members and I decided to just hit the ground running and head […]

Mountain Mama

The mountains have a special — and relatively new — place in my heart. I moved to Wyoming nearly five years ago and that’s where this love affair started. I’d seen mountains before, I’d skied, but actually living so close to mountains, seeing them day in and day out, driving by and through them regularly.. they […]

Sea-ya-ttle

My first time in the Pacific Northwest was one for the books. I had just worked a four-day with two fellow new hires and we all ended up on the same Seattle trip. In the airline industry, it’s very common to click super well with your coworkers.. and then never see them again. Lucky for […]

On island time

One of the perks of being a Miami based flight attendant, quite simply, is the proximity to the Caribbean and the layovers we have there. Of course other bases fly to some islands and Mexico and other tropical destinations. But Miami really is “Gateway to the Tropics” like some FAs like to say. This month […]

The lights are so bright but they never blind me

“When you’re young you just run, but you come back to what you need.” Just three short weeks out of New York, I was back in the city for what turned out to be one of my top-three weekends.. ever. One of my best friends and I are moderately big Taylor Swift fans. Love her, […]

Just touched down in London town

It finally happened! I was blessed with my first international trip and man was it a doozy. I reported to JFK for standby, which meant I already had a chance at an international flight since that’s where they depart from. I reported at 1 p.m. and waited. And waited. And waited, listening to all these […]

Local Tucson lunch spot

One of the promises I made to myself when making this career change is that I was going to continue to be creative. I loved that about my last job. So with this new career, I said I was going to continue to write and document and share my travel experiences. So where we go! […]
