This year had been the year for some major life changes for me outside of travel. I completed my final year of graduate school, my college boyfriend of five years proposed to me, and we bought our first home together. With all the chaos of trying to find an internship to graduate on time, balancing…
My First Solo Trip Abroad! (And Why Everyone Should Try It At Least Once)
One of the top continents I’ve been wanting to visit my entire life has been South America. Ever since I was a child, I grew up reading and becoming fascinated with places such as Machu Picchu, Rio De Janeiro, and the Amazon Rainforest. However, prior to this year, I had never stepped foot on any…
Back from hiatus (and future travel plans)!
Greetings fellow readers! It’s been way too long since my last blog post (four months to be precise), something I am not proud of! While I haven’t done nearly enough blogging as I would like to since starting the blog, going MIA for this long is just not acceptable! Unfortunately, my last two semesters of…
72 Hours in Quebec City
As a way to say audios to a crazy 2016 and ring in the new year, my significant other and I decided to book a long weekend in Quebec City. Having a taste of Canada with our long weekend adventure in Montreal last year, Quebec City as a lure of old world charm that we…
My 2017 Travel Wish List
As 2016 comes to an end, now is the time to start re-vamping the bucket list and plan for some new countries to explore in the upcoming new year. While I did not travel as much this year as I would have liked, I was very fortunate to visit Iceland and Montreal for the first…
How To Handle Travel Withdrawals While Off The Road
Unlike most travel bloggers, I don’t travel full-time for a living. If I’m lucky, I’m able to plan a few trips a year. While I try to add local and spontaneous excursions to “fill the void”, it can be a challenge to get through my “normal” life when I’ve been bitten by the travel bug and unsure of…
Highlights from Nicaragua
For those of you who may not know, I was very fortunate enough to participate in a couple undergraduate service trips abroad to Nicaragua in 2012 and 2013. Approximately a few weeks ago now, I found out that the organization is reuniting alumni to participate in a reunion service trip in May 2017! I can’t…
Why I actually enjoy all-inclusive travel
It seems that every travel blog I stumble upon, the writer includes some sort of post about the “negative” aspects of all-inclusive travel. Some (rightfully) argue that this type of travel style makes it difficult to have an “authentic experience” in the country of interest. Others say that individuals who choose to travel this way…
From the Ring Road With Love: A Road Trip Through Iceland
Well it’s been a while since I’ve been on an overseas trip (14 months, but who’s counting?), but I’m happy to announce that I made my travel plans come true for this year and recently embarked on my road trip throughout the land of fire and ice! Iceland has definitely become a more popular travel…
Boston Bound! A Day in Beantown
Whenever I am “in between” my annual trips abroad, I am constantly searching for remote locations to travel to, that are still “far enough” away from home. As I anxiously wait for my 8 day trip to Iceland to come around, weekend trips are necessary in order to feed my wanderlust. Where Boston is now…
