Greetings from Qatar!

Hi, friends! You may recall that last Tuesday I shared my packing woes, well the good news is that that they weren't in vain--I safely arrived in Qatar last Friday! So what am I doing in Qatar you may ask? Well, when not working and writing for ATC, I spend my time focusing on environmental issues (explained further here)....and in following those issues I'll be writing for The Verb , an online news wire.

While I'm away you can except some amazing posts from these lovely ladies...

Lindsey of Flimsy Lindsey

Lindsey and Katie of Stately Things

Before I'm in and out for the next couple of weeks, here are a few photos in the city of Doha!

Excuse Me While I Pack...

Excuse the absence while I pack...Anyone have some helpful packing tips or words of motivation for me?? Having traveled a lot over the past few years I've developed the unfortunate habit of avoiding packing at all costs! It annoys me..there are so many piles, and options, annd what if I forget something?? I'm off to wallow in my packing sorrows, but will be back tomorrow with some of my favorite travel tips!

A Week In Washington

Hi, lovelies! Sorry for being m.i.a. this week. As soon as the wedding festivities ended on Sunday I packed my bags for a week long training in D.C. The trip has been amazing so far, but I was so silly to think I'd have any time to keep you all updated with 14 hours of trainings every day..crazy, right?!

I'm so happy to be back in this lovely city that I used to call home and look forward to telling you all about it (and the wedding, of course!) as soon as I can!
