The Secret Places Around the City of Paris
I went to Paris three years ago and I will tell you upfront the smell of pub crawls and piss lining the streets never wavered from my nose anytime I walked around the city. It was my first time in France and so far reminded me of the streets of Dublin that I had longed to parade again.

Appreciate the Appreciation
I wanted to discuss 'appreciation' — both literally and sentimentally. The reason for this is because I recently sold my BMW E46 M3. and I believe it’s important to reflect and truly appreciate those slightly special cars that make you feel alive. Like money, friends and fame, cars come and go. We shouldn’t be sad to say goodbye or second-guess our decision, but rather be glad that it’s the end of a beautiful (or sometimes abusive) relationship. And that got me thinking, what did I appreciate most about my BMW M3?

Ladies, We’re Killing Our Bank Accounts
I can remember being in college, that looking forward to the weekend was the highlight of my week. My best friend and I would plan all week where we were going to go shopping, we always ended-up deciding on Santa Monica because it was the no-brainer for good shopping. Nether of us had jobs at the time, yet we still somehow managed to find some extra cash and blow it all in a few short hours. Any girl who’s ever gone shopping knows it takes one step into a Victoria's Secret, an American Eagle, or into a Guess to easily drop a couple hundred dollars on clothes.

Thailand: Week One
Let me just start this with a few facts about myself. My name is Lexi, and I’m 20 years old. I’m not in school and I don’t have any particular reason to travel except that it’s all I want to do. I’m a waitress, and sometimes I completely forget that I’m lucky enough to see the world from places people in my hometown only dream about. I’ve traveled throughout the United States with friends and family, but that never compares to the sights that are outside of the country.

Last Minute Shenanigans
I recently took about a five day trip through Utah and Arizona, which was definitely one of the most last minute, spontaneous trips of my life. It started out as “Hey, why don’t we do something after Feast,” and ended up as a crazy four day trip through the Narrows in Zion and through the valley of the Grand Canyon. We put about as much thought into this trip as high school boys put into what they’re going to wear to gym class. It was while I was on my way to Phoenix for the winter that a friend of mine, Austin, called me somewhere along the way and said he had bought a one-way flight to Phoenix. Woot! So I finished the remnant of my 22 hour trip from KC to Phoenix, got a tight seven hours, woke up, and picked up Austin from the Sky Harbour airport the next day.

The Hatchback Life
The idea of living and camping out of a car is nothing new. Ever since the advent of the interstate highway in the 20th century, traveling long distances by car in the United States has become a common experience. Families go on summer road to faraway places; vagabonds sleep in the back seats of their vehicles in between stops; and the ability to live a life on the road has become a part of the American Experience: freedom to move around on your terms, and on your schedule.
