The good news is I won’t be so hard to find in 2010 (well hopefully). After a year traveling as a global volunteer, I’m in New Orleans (to stay) and am rolling out the red carpet for friends to come visit me and let me show them what lured this Pittsburgh, Boston, Los Angeles girl (with a few stops before, after, and in between) to New Orleans.

As I did in 2009, I’ll build out this calendar as the year goes along. But let’s start simple.
