Exploring North Dakota, The Midwest, and Beyond
Twenty-sixteen has been a crazy year. I didn’t travel as much as I did in 2015, but I traveled farther on the few trips that I did take. I think I am finally beginning to understand all the quotes that say something to the effect of “travel changes you.” One […]
I’ll be the first to admit that I have somewhat of a love affair going on with the Southwest. But let’s be honest here, with sights like these, who wouldn’t be in love with the region? It all started years ago when Dad took my sister and me on a […]

When I was younger my family would almost always fly through the Twin Cities of Minnesota whenever we were going somewhere. We would never really leave the airport and if we did, we would never explore the area and the suburbs of the Cities. Now that I am on my […]
I watched the ground grow closer and closer as the plane descended into Berlin. Looking out the window of the plane has always sparked my imagination since I rarely get to experience the cities I fly into. I always imagine what it is like wandering the streets down below. What […]
