Growing up in Massachusetts, there are two historical legacies that loomed wickedly large in my adolescent psyche: witches and writers. My love for Salem and the aforementioned witches will be mentioned briefly in this piece, but below is an entire post dedicated to the charming seaside town – including a few spooks for good fun… […]

“You’d never be dumb enough to go into an abandoned asylum,” Adam said as the movie credits rolled. “You would say ‘no thanks’ and run the other way.” I shrugged. We had just finished watching the Grave Encounters, a cult classic horror film about a team of paranormal investigators who get trapped in an abandoned […]

As the colorful paper decorations flapped in the wind above my head, I couldn’t help but feel like I was home. I have been around the world and back again. I have experienced the culture shock that comes from food, from language, from bathrooms, and all the other things that we take for granted every […]

(Flight 93 Memorial visited April 29, 2017) Mrs. Reynolds hung up the phone and came back to where we were all sitting cross-legged on the floor. I remember it as seconds between the click of the phone and the words coming out of her mouth. But it must’ve taken longer than that. Unless she, too, […]

If I could live in any fictional world, I will always pick Stars Hollow. Who doesn’t want to live in a small town with the quirkiest neighbors, the best bookshop and, of course, a diner with the perfect cup of coffee? Judging by the numerous internet articles listing all the ways to turn your Connecticut […]

Raise your hand if, when you think ‘Comic Con’, you get a mental image of Sheldon Cooper from the Big Bang Theory. (Obviously I can’t see you, but I am assuming there are plenty of hands raised out there…) Now, I know it’s bad to generalize, but come on. I’ll admit that’s the vision I […]

Leading group trips has always been a dream service I wanted to offer at Dylan in the Details, but, honestly, I thought it was way too early. I had all the excuses in the world as to why my platform wasn’t big enough, I wasn’t experienced enough, and I had no idea what people would […]
