This week I have the pleasure of being a guest blogger on my dear friend Kelly’s website, Austen Hill. In the spirit of the gift-giving season, it’s not only time to give to others, but a time to plan a bit for yourself for the new year. Where would you like to go? What would you like to accomplish? Have you ever considered traveling alone? A few tips and a few pics – read my guest post on Austen Hill.

I hope you’ll stay to explore a few more of the posts on Kelly’s blog – a delightful collection of lifestyle, fashion, food and tips chronicling the adventures of an 19th century girl in a modern world.
