Not this Magazine
Normally if a magazine isn’t interested in my query they don’t respond at all. However, I did get a response from this guy. I pitched to an inflight magazine. Here is his response (then I’ll tell you what I sent): “Hi Audrey, Thank you for the pitch. Unfortunately, being an airline, we can’t really write … Read more
Back to the Blog
I have a goal to get back to the blog. It helps me get the juices flowing. My grandpa passed away two weeks ago, though, so I’m a little withdrawn in general. So in an attempt to take baby steps out into life again I’ve decided to try a humorous post. I’ll have to dedicate … Read more

Teaching Arabic Again
Teaching Arabic again. Been doing it for about a month now actually. I don’t want to spill all the details online but it is probably one of the most trippy jobs I have ever had in my life and I really enjoy it. I would share the details but I think I will wait.

Suddenly in Bangkok
I had a confirmed ticket for Bangkok just hours before I left for two weeks. I didn’t even know I was going until the evening before and knew a couple days before that about the job in the first place. When I joked about always having a current passport and a nearly packed suitcase to … Read more
