This was me in Barcelona in 2020, where I spent 3 months of quarantine without being allowed to leave the apartment except for groceries. Many people came out of lockdown with a human baby… I wrote an entire book, baby. And now I’m back 3 years later still not ready for a baby, so I’m freezing my eggs! Like many of us women, when I was younger, I...

Nothing Like Waking Up On A Plane… By Alyssa Ramos During my sophomore summer in college I went on a Eurotrip with one of my sorority sisters that went to 15 countries in 36 days.
