Huge news today friends! Zander and I have decided it’s time to move back to New Orleans! I’ve had an amazing year and a half living in Boston. I’ve made some amazing friends and explored more of the North East than I ever imagined I would! But our hearts are in New Orleans.
Everyone in New Orleans has a special connection and shows it through eye contact when passing on the street. I miss that. I miss the warm, friendly and happy people. I miss hard rains, hidden courtyards, wonderful food, Oak trees, great music, the unique gumbo of people, southern hospitality and dive bars.
“If there was ever a town to have a reason to be full of sorrow and pain it is New Orleans. And although the damages of Katrina, poverty and crime are all around, it does not stop people from living to the fullest. Every day is a new day and more reason to celebrate.” –The Hungry Nomad
It’s hard to explain, but New Orleans just has something special. It is not fast or efficient. It’s slow, sweaty and lazy, but it’s home. Every inch of this city has something beautiful in it’s own special way. I’ll miss the North East tremendously, but I’m ready to be back in the city that stole my heart!

Wow that is great news! Lets get together and have lunch? I wanted to maybe create a blog meet up here in NOLA. We can talk about that and maybe freelance design stuff too.
[…] you are reading this, Zander and I will be heading out on the road from Maine to New Orleans! When my parents were up visiting we took a trip to The Arnold Arboretum […]
Wow I am jealous of this announcement! A year ago my husband and I road-tripped around the country and NO was our absolute favorite. You’re right, the feeling is just different. I LOVE how it’s possible for musicians to make a living there, just by playing in bars. It will be so fun to watch the city through the blog!
aww, well let me know if you ever make it back to the city! And can’t wait to get some NOLA inspired posts up on the blog!
thanks! can’t wait to share them with you guys!
Welcome home! Let me know when you’re back in town, would love to talk about buying some photos from you for my site rather than the stock stuff I’ve been using!
Thanks Jude! Sounds great, we’ll be in touch!
Oh you make my heart joyful and sad all the same time. I moved to Germany from New Orleans. That place still has a piece of my heart. I know just the feeling you are talking about…
Congrats and le bon ton roule!
thanks for the sweet comment! New Orleans never leaves your heart no matter where you are in the world!
