Coffee is currently on my brain. When it comes to this beverage, I am not picky in the least.  Dark, medium, light roasts – I like ‘em all.  I’m equal opportunity across the board.  Give me an americano, skinny vanilla latte, house brew, caramel iced coffee, or what have you, and I will not complain!  This morning I’m about to indulge in my second cup of Starbucks’ French Roast (dark).  Here’s a fun fact of the day: I didn’t start drinking/liking coffee until I essentially forced myself to drink it while in Bilbao, Spain during the summer of 2010.  Who knew at the point that it would become a life-long love affair.

Cheers!

Hello all,

This is (obviously) my first blog.  I welcome you to join me in this journey as I offer up quotes, random thoughts, cool pictures, songs, and bits about myself.

Random thought of the day: The next time I travel on my own accord, I’d love to try out Airbnb.  In the March 2012 issue of Fast Company, Airbnb was ranked 19th on their list of “The World’s 50 Most Innovative Companies.”  Founded by RISD grads, the startup company is now praised for “turning spare rooms into the world’s hottest hotel chain.” My insatiable travel itch will undoubtedly lead me to a myriad of destinations around the globe – maybe next time I’ll get to hole up in a bachelor pad in Berlin or a chic NYC loft.

Until then, homework calls. Happy Monday blog world!

Cheers,
S.H.H.
