Niagara on the Lake Niagara Parkway Recreational Trail

Happy Fall y’all! Real talk: I hate that phrase and I have no idea why. Last week, we welcomed in the fall season, as we waved goodbye to good ol’ summertime. When I lived in Michigan, this time of year gave me winter anxiety. As much as I loved fall, I knew what was to […]

Take Care of Yourself Amidst the Chaos. Do it.

January 24, 2016 By Caroline Peterson 8 Comments

I found out some news about 6 days before I left for the other side of the world on a trip I had been planning for months. It was the type of information that’s life changing; the kind that makes you feel like you’re walking outside your body for days on end. I couldn’t eat […]
