a year of travel and beer

This time last year, I had been feeling rather frustrated with the daily routine that was my life. Don't get me wrong, I loved my job and the people I worked with, but I was longing for something more. I found myself constantly looking up destinations on Pinterest every chance I got. I dreamed of visiting these places, meeting new people and eating and drinking the local cuisine and beer.  
I had just finished applying to law school and figured that this was the best time to travel and see the world before the casebook readings and lectures began. So I quit my job to see the world. I started by taking a solo trip through the South. I had never traveled alone before. I was terrified and kept second guessing myself. I had just quit a good job with the steady paycheck and was about to start living on student loans, was I insane? I quickly learned that it was the best decision of my life and I have never looked back.

It was this trip through the South that inspired me to start this blog. Originally, this blog was just supposed to be about travel, but it became pretty apparent that visiting breweries and drinking local beer was a big part of traveling for me, so it thus became a travel and beer blog.


This last year I traveled more than I have ever traveled in the rest of my life combined! I spent 22 days traveling through Arizona, Texas, Louisiana and Tennessee, 2 weeks exploring London, Paris and Dublin and 9 days camping in Arizona, Colorado and Utah. In between trips I toured my home state, California. I also made the move to Oregon for law school and even got to go to Canada in January! 

During my travels, I was also very lucky to visit many breweries. From the booming craft beer scene of Austin to the mecca of stouts in Dublin and finally to Beervana in Oregon, I tried a lot of great beer and met a lot of even greater people along the way.
