Adventures in Social Media
I adore artistic and creative tourism campaigns. The Can’t forget.it digital media campaign is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen in a long while, if ever. It makes me dream of going back to Italy. Congratulations to Matty Brown for winning the grand prize in the Digital Diary promotion by the tourism board in [...]
Since my diagnosis, I’ve been a whole lotta places around the world. I’ve been living each day as if it were my last one and I’ve been checking things off my list. Last week was the end of my planned events. I’ve been pretty quiet on updates because I live in a small town and [...]
At the end of this month I’m flying to Venice, Italy for the inaugural cruise of the Carnival Magic. I won’t have too much time to explore, but I’ll make the most of every moment I have there. While browsing around online I found this beautiful video on Vimeo that highlights the colorful island of [...]
I’m a convertible kind of gal. I must get it honest, because even my great-grandmother drove a convertible. I was excited to be invited to the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet social media tour before it’s official release to consumers. What interested me in this particular vehicle is that it’s the worlds first AWD convertible. This means [...]

I am a lucky chick. That’s the first thing I want you to know, if you are reading this post. I have an awesome family, a nice place to live, and a job with very caring and concerned coworkers. I also have the opportunity to take a few trips now and again and share my experiences with [...]
I travel a lot. I have to so that I can make sure to check out all the best spots for my readers before they spend their hard-earned money on a family vacation or romantic weekend. While in Chicago for the Blogher09 Conference, I was so excited to accidentally find myself in the Microsoft #MicroSpa. [...]
I really love being from Louisiana. I love to share the stories and the flavors that make my state unique. We love to eat here and we love to live life. There’s always a reason to celebrate and we’ll open our homes up to just about anyone. We may not always be PC, but we definitely [...]
I’m not a Twitter guru or social media maven, but I have found myself giving impromptu Twitter lessons to the travel industry while on press trips and fam tours. A colleague or PR person will notice that I take pictures with my crackberry of food or nice scenery and then they’ll ask what I’m doing. [...]
Petaling Street in Kuala Lumpur is the place to get t-shirts and fake Burberry purses. The fake purses were nicer than the authentic Burberries. They were fabric, whereas the real purses are actually plastic. I researched before my trip and found references on the web about pickpockets on Petaling Street. I could see where tourists would [...]
