As the school year is winding down and the weather is getting warmer, you may be starting to think about getting away on a family summer vacation. For many of us, a family vacation means that a trusted family friend or your favorite boarding facility will watch your dog while you travel. However, have [...]
This month’s blog theme is cooperation, and after my last trip at the end of January, I couldn’t help but think how much this idea played into my travels.
Winter (for those of us who actually experience it) is a notoriously difficult season for travel. With inclement weather, illness, and it generally being too [...]
Happy New Year to all the Live Sigma Kappa readers out there. I hope your holidays were happy and healthy ones. Like so many people, I found my weeks to be more on the stressful side with unexpected medical emergencies, lots of time spent on the road or in the airport, and not [...]
I hope everyone out there had a great Thanksgiving holiday! Mine started off in the usual fashion, with lots of good food, football and family.

This is where it gets personal.
I really have a thing for traveling. I like reading about it, writing about it, dreaming about it, and most of all, actually doing it. I’ve let my passion for it guide many big life decisions, from leaving my hometown in Maryland to go to college in Boston, to [...]
Remember counting down the days until summer vacation?
