New year. New me. New blog posts.

Not much has changed in the last four months, since I last posted (sorry, I’ve been slacking). Except that I now have a new job at American Express (no, I cannot hook you up with a Centurion card), and that I took a road trip to Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and Chicago back in September (Sept 26 [my bday!] to Oct 3). If you’re wondering how this odd combination of cities came about, it’s because the main destination was Chicago, and Pittsburgh and Cleveland were rest stops along the way.

I’m hoping 2016 will be a big year filled with travels for me. I haven’t settled on exactly where to yet but I figured that before I start blogging about those future adventures, I should probably catch up on these old ones first.

That being said, I will leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from each of the cities:
