Last July I went to Yellowstone. I’ve written before about how I wasn’t exactly the most excited to go, primarily because I really, really, really hate camping. So you might wonder, why would I even go to Yellowstone, if I knew camping would be involved and I hate it so much? The most honest answer …
A while back, I wrote a blog post on the various ways U.S. citizens can live and teach English legally in Spain. One of the programs I mentioned was Meddeas, an organization that works to place individuals in schools to work as Language Assistants. I was later contacted by Maria, who works in the Communication …
Now that I’ve recommitted to posting on this blog more regularly (I mean it this time, I swear!)(Is what I say every time), I thought I would start doing what I intended to do months ago, and do wrap-up posts at the end of the month. January has felt really busy, and I can’t believe …
This post was originally published on Medium and was featured in the publication The Hustle is Female. When I traveled to Spain last year, I went alone. And because I’m also an introvert, I didn’t make much of an effort to meet people while I was there. This meant that I dd just about everything — you …
I am a shameless Harry Potter nerd. I started reading the books when I was about nine, right when the first movie came out. Since then, I’ve read every book and seen every movie multiple times, stood in line at midnight on more than one occasion to get a book or see a film the …
Now that 2018 is officially here, I think it’s time to start looking ahead and figuring out where I want to travel this year. While I don’t have any concrete plans as of right now, there are some things I would like to do and a couple trips I am working on. I wouldn’t call …
As we hurtle toward 2018, a lot of people are taking the opportunity to reflect on the year we are leaving. I’m not gonna lie, for a lot of people 2017 was a rough year. Is it just me, or does it seem like there is something new and terrible happening every day, so quickly …
I was not excited to go to Yellowstone. The trip was mostly my friend’s idea. She wanted to go camping. To say I don’t like camping would be an understatement, though I prefer to say I have a healthy appreciation for the indoors. But I still agreed, because I’m easily talked into things and because …
May is officially here! Anyone else feel like April lasted for a long time? Or just me? Now that April is over, I thought I’d do a little wrap-up of what I’ve been up to this past month, as well as what’s coming up in the future. I’m going to try and do this at …
Before leaving for Spain I didn’t know quite what to expect. What would a big solo trip like this actually be like? Would it be an absolute disaster and turn me off of the idea of traveling forever? Would it be a life-changing experience that I could one day turn into a best-selling memoir? I …
