The Alhambra is one of those really cool places that I think everyone should see at least once in their lifetime. I was in Grenada with my high school Spanish class on our two-week tour of Spain when I visited. So this feels like it was eons ago. We were […]

My First Day in Berlin
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 […]
White Water Kayaking on the Kettle River
White water kayaking in Minnesota was something I had been looking forward to for a couple of months. When I signed up for the trip, I thought it would be warm enough by June 1st, but I was wrong. The water was still cold, and possibly the cause of my […]
It’s Okay to be a Tourist
I think that sometimes, the world gets too caught up in being a traveler and getting off the beaten path. Ultimately, I think it’s okay to stay on the beaten path from time to time. We live in a world where we are expected to go, go, go ’round the […]

Quality over Quantity

When I Grow Up
e’ve all heard this question throughout our lives. What do you want to be when you grow up? At first I wanted to be a Bay Watch Lifeguard, a Star Trek officer, then a vet, a teacher, an astrophysicist, an anesthesiologist, a teacher, a dog handler, a petroleum geologist, an […]
Why Do You Want to Start a Blog?
Four years ago on July 19th I dove head first into the world of blogging unsure of everything. I was a shy, 17 year-old high school girl content to hide in the back of the classroom with my nose in a book. I wrote my blog under the pen name of […]
