Why Cabo is a Great WKND Getaway
You all know I love to travel! My best friend Jen and I decided one Tuesday afternoon that we needed a mini vacation, a sort of quick and inexpensive getaway. She lives in Seattle. We had already arranged with our jobs to have Thursday-Friday off. The only requirements we put on ourselves were that there had to be a beach and a party scene involved. We wanted to spin a globe and end up wherever our fingers landed, but you know – the way our corporate jobs are set up, we needed to be gone no more than 3 days. When you’re a working professional who also happens to be a wanderlust, capitalizing on your weekends off is key when traveling. You shouldn’t have to take several days out of your Paid Time Off (PTO) each time you want to go somewhere. I like to try and save my PTO for longer and more extensive vacations.

Coming 2 Vegas
“Welcome to the Vegas team Ashley. We’re excited to have you,” were the words that still resonate with me as I drove down i85 headed home. It was real. I was really moving from a state/city I adored to somewhere west of Texas… I mean, I’d been to Vegas before, pre 21 yrs of age (so basically pre-life) but only to Circus Circus, Hoover Dam and Grand Canyon. Don’t get me wrong – it was OK…but nothing that I would have electively chosen. I’d also flown to Vegas for the interview less than a week prior to getting that call but flew back to Atlanta within 24 hours after interviewing and I didn’t even visit The Strip. “Awesome!” I heard my voice say… “I’ll see you in Las Vegas!”

Notre Dame Eye Witness Account
Tue, Apr 16, 2019, 6:03 AM I was at St. Michelle, when someone told me to look up at the sky. I saw the smoke. I watched large billowing plumes of green greyish smoke being carried west. 'Bomb!', I thought, my mind automatically leaping to terrorism. No, it was the Notre Dame on fire.

The Toll of the Turkish Economic Crisis
Note: this content appeared in my Quora answer to the question "What are some ugly truths about Turkey?" Turks are working like slaves. Long hours in little shops, 10–12 hours a day, 6 days a week with low employee benefits or labor rights and not enough pay. If a Turk is working 6 days a week , 10 hours a day , that's 260 hours worked a month compared to 176 hours in the West (8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 22 work days a month in most places in the Western world).
