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'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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
