Exclusive Interview with DreamWorks’ TROLLS Filmmakers and Actors
This past month I was invited to the Trolls media launch held at Comic Con in San Diego. If you haven’t read my post yet about this amazing 3-day event you really should!

Save the Date: August 9th AIG Travel #WhereNext Twitter Party!
I am super excited to be working with AIG Travel this month and sharing with you all the many benefits of sustainable travel. Sustainable travel is the socially-responsible way families and solo-travelers are exploring new places. I wrote a piece about sustainable travel here you can check out but basically sustainable travel is about leaving a positive impact on the communities you visit. This could be something as simple as eating at local restaurants to support the business owners (think small businesses) as opposed to your favorite fast food joint to purchasing souvenirs that are handmade by locals opposed to trinkets made just for tourists.
