Welcome to Lattes, Life & Luggage! I’m Christine and I share my adventures traveling and navigating this crazy thing we call life.
Are you finding yourself with a little extra time on your hands lately? Need a few extra snacks with all the time you’re spending at home? Here are a few easy recipes to pass the time…
What many people are about to learn in the coming weeks, is that working from home is not a piece of cake like it seems. Those of us who already work from home have had the convenience of an adjustment period to get into a routine. Here are my top five pieces of advice to help you through this time…
Of course, like anywhere else in the world, Syracuse had a few unexpected personality traits that took me by surprise. It’s hilly terrain by far being the biggest surprise. I wouldn’t describe Syracuse as a pretty city because its age is obvious. It is one with lots of character though making it a unique and interesting city.
Quick trips can feel limited but if planned well, you can pack quite a bit into two days. If you only have a few days in Boston for an upcoming trip, this guide is going to be a great friend.
And just like that, it’s 2020. The start of not only a new year but a new decade. I thought it would be fun to do something uplifting as we set a course for a new decade…
One of the conversations that seems to be on repeat lately is the topic of working from home.

If you aren’t thinking about where to go for spring break yet, you should be. It’s almost time to embark on a little post-winter, pre-spring getaway. Even I’m going somewhere this year! My trip will be a drive down to Missouri to visit family but it will still be a nice little escape from everyday life. Being someone who doesn’t particularly like crowds, I can understand why most people avoid spring break. There are drunk, obnoxious, college kids everywhere and what you’re looking for is much more relaxing. With that in mind, I’ve put together a couple of destinations so that you can get in a memorable spring break without the insanity of...well...spring break!
