keys to a successful road trip
I’m not really a road trip kind of gal. Due to my overwhelmingly lazy nature, I’m almost always looking for the quickest and easiest way to get somewhere. However, with my two week trek across Eastern Europe approaching quicker than my bank account can catch up, I decided it was time to save a few pennies. Luckily, post-TBEX Toronto, I realized I could catch a ride back with some NYC-bound friends. Naturally, I jumped on the opportunity. And so began my eight-hour backseat adventure, driving from Toronto, Canada to New York City. Along the way, I learned a few important…

tbex: afterthoughts
It took me two full weeks to recover enough to reflect properly on my weekend in Toronto at the TBEX Conference. After eight days of internalizing, the one clear thing I’ve decided on is this: I am way lazier than I even realized. When it comes to decision making, I’m known to choose the least responsible option, almost always. I think it’s in my blood, but more than likely (read: definitely), it’s a completely fixable personality flaw that I choose not to address.

Naturally, when I heard that that the bi-annual TBEX Conference was being held the first weekend of June in Toronto, Canada, it was like music to my ears. Sure, the temperatures in NYC have finally risen above fifty degrees, and we’ve had some pretty gloriously sunny days. But along with the rising temperatures and the changing of seasons comes the increase in tourist traffic on the sidewalks. Add to this…

weekend warriors // rocky mountain highs & lows
When the hubs and I booked our Rocky Mountain weekend getaway in Keystone for TBEX, we decided that there were some must-sees outside of the conference. Ok, fine, there were also maybe a possible safety net if the conference ended up being très awkward. Neither of us have spent much time in Colorado, so we had a few things on our weekend checklist: Red Rocks Park // I don’t remember much from my first family visit to Colorado, but I remember the Red Rocks Amphitheater very clearly. Unfortunately, we didn’t check the website to see what the day’s schedule was like (typical).…

tales from a tbex first timer
Since we landed on Sunday night, I’ve been contemplating how best to recap this past weekend at TBEX and for the past day or so, I was coming up blank. If you attended in person or followed the hashtag on twitter, I think you probably got a pretty good sense of how happy everyone was, and if you didn’t… then you’re probably not into a full second by second recap of what went down, right? What I can say is this: it was so, so, SO much different than I expected, and in all the best ways. First thing’s first–Colorado, you’re…
