A Boston native and former pro athlete who has spent the past 10+ years living and traveling abroad. As a young basketball player, I never could have imagined where sports would take me. I've been fortunate to compete at the highest levels while playing the game I love, and be the recipient of athletic scholarships. However, my most life-changing sports experience was signing my first professional basketball contract, packing my bags, and moving to Europe alone at age 23, without knowing anyone and without ever having set foot on the continent. Full of youth and naïvety, I left life as I knew it behind me. At the time my mom could foresee how much the experience would change my life and encouraged me to journal so I could remember everything and soak it all in. I took her advice, and never stopped. This blog was born out of the scribbles, notes, sketches, pictures, and journal entries I have made over the years as an athlete abroad.

Through my extensive travels and many years living overseas, I have found 'home' in different countries, from Luxembourg to Northern England, while developing a deep passion for all things European - the people, landscapes, culture, traditions, and food. Through it all, sport has been the common thread on my journey wherever I go. Though I'm playing less basketball these days, I love seeking out active adventures and exploring Europe by two feet and two wheels while discovering the best European foods and desserts along the way. I'm constantly embarking on epic adventures in Europe, from the Northumberland Coast to the Mediterranean Sea. I'm passionate about empowering other women to chase their European travel dreams and seek out their own adventures abroad!
