Happy New Year everyone! 2017 was a roller coaster of a year for me and I am so hoping to continue with the good fortune of travels I had this year into 2018. This year I visited nine new countries, most of which were thanks to my job as Cabin Crew and the reason I … Continue reading A Year in Pictures: 2017
That Eight-Month Itch
This happens all the time to me. Whether it's a job or a new boyfriend or a new hobby I've taken an interest in, I always get stuck in a rut at that seven to eight month mark. I get that itch, you know? I thought with this new job allowing me to travel all … Continue reading That Eight-Month Itch
As the Leaves Change
Finally took my boyfriend out of the US. A six-hour drive from home and we had a weekend in Montreal, eating our weight in Poutine and getting our asses kicked in pool repeatedly by our new friend, Mitch. We stayed at M Montreal Hostel in Gay Village, not far from the port, and I think … Continue reading As the Leaves Change
Sushi X
Living in an apartment without a washing machine means laundry becomes an all-day ordeal. Gone are my days in college where I would do laundry when I knew I had a paper to write and it would force me to stay in my dorm room while my jeans rolled around in the basement. If I … Continue reading Sushi X
When the Job Isn’t Glamorous
Flight attendants, cabin crew, air hostesses, stewardesses, trolley dollies, galley hags…whatever you call us, we tend to be seen as these glamorous group of people who live the most amazing life. And trust me, most of the time, that’s true. I have to say, I have the best job in the world; I get to … Continue reading When the Job Isn’t Glamorous
Ten Degrees Bar
I had an extra day on my layover in New York so I seized the opportunity to head into Manhattan for the day. It worked out that Richie was able to come as well, which meant I went only four days without seeing him during my trip as opposed to the entire eight days. I … Continue reading Ten Degrees Bar
Limerick Milk Market
I spent another day in Limerick after landing in Cork and taking a two hour taxi. While the taxi was big enough for all the crew, it was not the most comfortable to sleep in, so we expected to pass out correctly once we made it to the hotel. However, once we got out of … Continue reading Limerick Milk Market
A Tough Debate (Glasgow vs. Edinburgh)
After staying in Edinburgh a few times now, and knowing I will be returning a week from now, I decided to venture out of the city on my last layover and check out Glasgow, which is an hour train ride west. To me, there seems to be a rivalry between the two cities similar to … Continue reading A Tough Debate (Glasgow vs. Edinburgh)
A Day Off on the Block
Richie and I finally had a day off together where the weather wasn’t terrible and we wanted to take full advantage of it. We’d been talking about going to Block Island together since we started dating (close to four years ago!) and finally we were able to go! There are about five ferries leaving New … Continue reading A Day Off on the Block
Gift of Gab
My first trip to Cork saw all four of us cabin crew heading to Blarney Castle for the day. We landed in Shannon in the morning after an overnight flight and immediately taxied to Cork (about two hours). We planned to leave right for the bus stop to get there bright and early; however, we … Continue reading Gift of Gab
