Ugh ...

I haven't updated this baby in a very long time. I feel ashamed. But the silver lining is that I HAVE been writing stuff on a consistent basis. I promise to do better here, but check out my latest piece on group travel on GoJaneNews.com!

Feel like a drink?

Temple Bar in Dublin, Ireland

Readers of Bitten, I just wanted to let you know that I now am an avid Tweeter. For travel updates, and updates on my daily activities, follow me @SmellTheRosy.

That is all.

$hopping on the cheap

I'm all about traveling on a budget. But sometimes it's nice to splurge on a little something for yourself — and there's a lot to be said for the therapeutic value of retail therapy.

You all know what I'm talking about.

Branching out

Regent Street in London

I'm branching out! You're looking at — well reading the words of — the newest travel writer for GoJaneNews.com.

Don't worry, Bitten is going strong and I have no plans of slowing my pace here. I love it here. But a girl's gotta get her name out there! So do me a favor and check out my latest piece on Girlfriend Getaways (along with my very own photos). And don't be shy ... let me know what you think.

More to come soon!

Taking it to the papers ...

I got published in amNewYork today! The piece isn't exactly a travel piece, but it's got a travel angle to it while still being pertinent to a NYC-centric publication ... proving that travel writing can take on many forms :-) Check it out below!
