Thank you!

A little over a year ago, I quit my job, gave up my apartment, packed my life into a hiking pack and set off on a year-long adventure to research pole dancing around the world. What a crazy, intense year it has been! Thank you everyone for all your tips, emails, comments and input within and outside … Continue reading

Why I Stopped Pole Dancing

Back in the Big Apple!

I’m back in the city for the summer. The past few months have been incredible, so amazing that I haven’t been able to sit down for a second and let it all sink in until now. I kid…kinda… Anywho, I’ll be redoing this blog over the next few weeks, so please bear with me. Some … Continue reading

London

Oh London, my newly-adopted-yet-short-lived-temporary-home. I love you to bits, but you are waay too expensive for this frugal traveler! I made London my base in September as I traveled Europe because here I had a place and close friends to come “home” to. Much like New York, London is a gargantuan city with lots to offer … Continue reading

Talking about pole
