My YouTube channel is where I share my travel adventures, creative pursuits, and stationery updates. It’s a peek into the things that are sparking my joy and am excited to share with the rest of you! These are a few video highlights as I hope they inspire you to explore the world around you and make your own creative contribution to it.
I checked off a major bucket list item: to take a train across the country on my own. After attending the San Francisco Pen Show in 2025, I hopped on Amtrak's California Zephyr to Chicago and then the Lake Shore Limited route home to New York City. The journey was an unforgettable one, but just in case I ever do, I decided to document the experience.
During my layover in Chicago on my Amtrak trip home to NYC, I had only one thing on my agenda: to visit the popular stationery store, Atlas Stationers. It was my first time in the shop and the experience did not disappoint. I was having such a wonderful time, I didn't realize an hour had gone by!
In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I'm sharing my own breast cancer journey and why the Hachimonjiya fountain pens I recently bought at the San Francisco Pen Show are so special to me. I'm condensing a 13-year-long journey into a short video so remember this is just my experience.
Hightide opened a new storefront in New York City's Greenwich Village in December and I went to check it out! Come with me as I explore this new stationery shop and learn more about the Japanese brand.
While I was in Houston, TX for Little Craft Fest, I made sure to visit Little Craft Place and Dromgoole's! Both were such wonderful shops with an incredible staff and I spent SO MUCH TIME at each. My takeaway: everything really is bigger in Texas.
I've recently returned from Chicago Stationery Fest, the stationery marketplace hosted by Paper and Pencil! The weekend was a whirlwind of shopping, connecting, and an actual storm that cancelled so many flights back home.
