Fun and Finery is a blog that I hope will inspire your next adventure, sharing stories of exploration near and far.

I love all the fine things in life and who doesn’t like to have fun? I named my blog Fun & Finery on this premise, with the intention of sharing favorite restaurants or sights to see. And while I plan to continue enjoying the finest life has to offer, I’ve discovered how much I love exploring outdoors. Which, quite frankly, is the opposite of what I’d consider “finery”, though it is fun. Apparently, I’m willing to sacrifice creature comforts to chase a summit sunrise, alpine lake, or a silent night by the sea.

So, whether you dream of an international adventure to Cape Town, South Africa, or hitting the trails in Washington and beyond, I hope you find some inspiration here to get you out the door!

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.
