My Photo
Name:
Location: San Francisco, Northern Cali

GYPSY: (noun) One inclined to a nomadic, unconventional way of life. The first time I traveled alone I was 4. My mom pinned a note to my dress then put me on a plane from Atlanta to L.A. to visit my dad for the summer. That must have marked the beginning of my insatiable wanderlust because I can't seem to get enough of running away from home. In the mean time, I've spent my life between a career in the media and years in the hospitality industry. My independence has kept me single but that's a part of life when your first love is travel. I've been robbed in Australia and slept on a park bench in Amsterdam, but at the end of the day, I was on the road and that's where I'm most at home.

Girl Gone Wild


In an effort to save my pennies and get back to Europe, I have been extremely frugal with my spending. Alas, this has been a good thing: I finally reached my goal of $10,000 and with only 3 months left, I think I can get it up to $15,000. However, I looked around my closet and quickly decided that I do, indeed, deserve to have underwear that aren't ripped, full of holes, etc. So, I just went to Vic's Secret and blew $300 on various and sundry knickers! I am happy to report that I do not have one ounce of buyer's remorse and can't wait to get out and buy some new jeans. I also threw down for 2 pair of Ecco's and bought a new camera to replace the one I lost on Saint Patrick's Day. Still, with said 90 days left of work, I think I can still achieve my financial goals. I am also set to plunk down a cool $1000 for new contacts and glasses, but totally worth it...the ones I have look like Jan Brady's.


That's it, really. Nothing major, just waiting for The Burn and my return to Italia. I am starting Italian lessons this week, just a refresher course, hopefully once I get back there, it will come back to me like it did last year. Ciao!
