I don't know about you, but I love a good road trip. Commercial air travel is such a huge hassle that I relish any opportunity to jump in my car instead of on a plane. Unless it's a cross-country trip, in which case it obviously makes zero sense to drive if you're in any kind … Continue reading Bank School + Road Trippin’ Tech
Most of TIRL's readers are family, friends, and colleagues (THANK YOU for being loyal fans!). As a result, most of you know about my former life as a tennis player. For any readers that don't fall into the above categories (I love you guys too!), I'll provide some brief context. My parents put a tennis racquet … Continue reading The Hamptons Life + Away Suitcases
The trip posts keep coming! I swear we don't travel THAT much, but our travel IS heavily concentrated in the summer months when it's a bazillion degrees in New Orleans and you can't even walk from the front door to the car without feeling those dreaded beads of sweat forming on your back. Pretty much … Continue reading Cooling Off in Telluride + Fujifilm Instax Camera
Boston. It's a city that I haven't spent much time in, but every time I leave I can't wait to go back. From its food, to its historical landmarks, to its baseball team, there's so much passion in everything Boston and its people have to offer. This year's trip was in honor of my boyfriend's … Continue reading Boston Birthday Trip + SeatGeek (and a Google Custom Maps refresh!)
The ability to take a Girl's Trip always has been and always will be extremely important to me. It's not that I don't love the men in my life (my boyfriend, my Dad, my brother), or that I don't enjoy taking trips with them (I do, most of the time, I swear), but my best girlfriends … Continue reading Girl’s Trip to Florence! + Chatbooks
Aaaaaaand we’re back! Who knew that graduate school (me) and working for a start-up (Rebecca) would be so time consuming and pull us away from our beloved blog for so long. I can only speak for myself, but reentering the academic world after an 8-year hiatus threw more challenges and curveballs my way … Continue reading #SB2K13 (spring break 2013) + Airbnb
What a summer! As Emilia, mentioned, we both made some big changes. After five years at Google (and the last three months spent in the London office), I decided to try something new and join the start-up world. I loved every minute of my time at Google and I’m so grateful for all the … Continue reading My Sister Moves to Austin + Instagram
So I’ve made some rather big life changes lately, which partially explains the lengthy delay between blog posts. My apologies! Rebecca and I have both had a lot of interesting things to write about but just not a whole lot of time. But rest assured, we’re back! If you happened to have read … Continue reading Sending & Receiving Money + Chase QuickPay
I was incredibly lucky to be able to travel to several European cities this spring while working in London and while all were charming in their own way, Rome remains my absolute favorite. I’ll go ahead and say that The Eternal City is my second favorite city in the world after New Orleans. I … Continue reading Rome + Evernote Food
This past weekend I was in beautiful Amsterdam with my husband and two friends. It was everyone’s first time visiting so a few weeks before the trip I started searching for recommendations for restaurants, bars, and neighborhoods. We tend to keep the traditional tourist attractions to a minimum but I wanted to see if anything … Continue reading Amsterdam + Custom Google Maps
