A Working Summer in Europe

July 3, 2017

For the next couple of months, I'll be based in Sweden—Stockholm and Åre—and then backpacking the 120-mile Arctic Circle Trail in Greenland over two weeks. Goals include playing skee ball in as many different countries as possible, fika-ing as much as possible, and working on a memoir project (in addition to my usual editing and writing).

The title of this story in The Washington Post is a little misleading. To "reboot" something, you need to have some prior experience with it. My skin care prior to this trip was questionable. Read my story about getting my K-Beauty on here. Rising Again: Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim

I say that every story I wrote for The Washington Post is a favorite, but this one really is ... at least until my next one! Click here to read it. Jackson Hole's First Nordic ski resort has 25 kilometers of trails

The Washington Post two weekends in a row! I've written several articles about Turpin Meadow Ranch since it opened December 31, 2013, but this is the first one that doesn't focus on how awful of a Nordic skier I am. Click to here to read it. Beneath the Surface, Belize is Amazing

My latest story for The Washington Post runs in the paper's travel section on November 6, 2016. A fleet of boats awaits lounging explorers at Ramon’s Village Divers, one of the oldest guide firms in Belize. (Dina Mishev)

Beneath the surface — caving and diving — Belize is breathtaking

It’s still a spider, though. The size of my palm.

Except it’s not a spider. Alex tells me this in an attempt to convince me that holding it isn’t such a bad idea. “So it’s a scorpion?” I ask. I’d rather hold a spider. But it’s not a scorpion, either. A scorpion spider is related to both spiders and scorpions, but is its own thing, which Alex assures me is not venomous. Whatever it is or isn’t, there’s no question it’s the size of my palm. I’m not sold.

Last summer I was in Bend for 8 weeks getting radiation treatments. And I loved the area. This fall, Derek and I are back. How awesome will it be when I'm not getting radiated?
