I’m a full-time school librarian and part-time adventurer living in a household of two public school educators and two young children. With my family, I seek travel on school breaks and local adventures in the meantime.

Hops and Skips is a travel journal that proves, near or far, there’s always something new to discover. I dig for the details that don’t make the highlight reel – that provide a deeper understanding of a place – because everywhere has a story worth telling. 

Join me for travel stories, destination guides, and occasional book recommendations or musings on motherhood.

The world is a big place, and everywhere deserves a closer look. Let’s start exploring!
