About
Welcome to And Blue Sky! I’m Crystal. I’ve been blogging since 1999, mostly over at a blog called Straight On Till Morning, but I moved here in November 2015 for a fresh new start. I’m currently a freelance writer and social media manager, but someday I’d love to be a full time travel writer, or any other job that pays me to explore the world.
About Me pages are hard, so here are a few of my favorite things:
Traveling pretty much anywhere, anytime.
Awesome hotels. I worked front desk and concierge for 7 years (Including over 2 years at Disney World at one of the largest resorts in the world!), so I’m a pretty serious hotel nerd.
My awesome cats.
Local Bands
Reading way too much – mostly nonfiction. My favorite novels are “Still Life With Woodpecker” by Tom Robbins and “Stardust” by Neil Gaiman, and the Harry Potter series, of course. (I’m a Ravenclaw!)
Buying ugly dresses at thrift shops and turning them into something that’s both awesome and one of a kind.
All the coffee. And some vodka.
Watching way too much cable news. (Mostly Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow, who once said I was awesome and made my entire life.)
Yoga, bellydance, hiking, and other vaguely athletic pursuits that I’m not so great at but do anyway.
