“I love traveling with a friend and seeing places through her eyes too.” –Girlfriendology

Month of Friendship, Day 26: Plan a Trip with a Girlfriend

May 9, 2011 – 6:28 pm

No road is long with good company.

Turkish Proverb

Do you LOVE to travel girlfriend?

I do! I love to travel. I love the adventure of exploring a new city, seeing unfamiliar sights, walking streets and trails I’ve never traveled. The taste of new foods, the sounds of night be it crickets or cabs, looking into the eyes of strangers … I seem to notice every detail when I’m a tourist. I’m more alert, creative, inspired and happy. Yep, give me a ticket and itinerary, and I’m a happy girl.

Better yet, give me two tickets and let me take a BFF! The only thing better is to travel with a friend. Someone to share the adventure, explore, get lost then find our way, and celebrate a very special trip – together. A friend to make memories with, laugh, enjoy time together and create an amazing trip, again, together. Taking a girlfriend trip is the ultimate in Read More »

Fall Friendship Traditions – Food, Fashion, Festivals

October 7, 2010 – 11:06 am

Happy Fall Girlfriend!

Do you love Autumn? … cool nights replacing summer’s heat, open windows with great sleeping weather, toasted leaves hinting that things are changing, exchanging sandals for boots and sweaters for shorts?

I do. I can’t wait for the first opportunity to wear my standard dress in cold months – tights and boots. I welcome my favorite layers of sweaters and scarves. I crave comfort food like anything out of the crockpot. I love to walk through the woods and watch the neighborhood kids play in leaves. It’s a wonderful season to consciously feel Read More »
