As of late, I’ve had quite a few interesting conversations with a few people – all of whom were at different ages – about the concept of age itself. As a native of North America, I had never before thought much about the desire to be eternally young. However, during my time in Spain, I began … Continue reading
I have a constant need to try new things, visit new places, and meet new people. I’m a fan of novelty, although once I’ve decided I truly like something, it sticks with me for life. This, of course, translates to my taste in travel. Although my dream would be to continue visiting new places, I would … Continue reading

Before this summer, I never would have, but then Dana Point and I had a brief acquaintance. A couple of weeks ago, … Continue reading
There are few things that compare to being truly, truly sick while traveling. Being ill, regardless of location, is a major blow to anyone’s productivity, well-being, and ability to appreciate anything. At least while you’re home, you have the comforts of your own bed and (if you’re lucky) a person to be there to take … Continue reading
As an avid traveler, I sometimes forget to appreciate my surroundings when I’m at home. I spend so much of my time now on-the-go, or picturing a different destination as I work towards that goal of traveling just a little bit more. This summer has been especially hectic, and much to my own amazement, we’re … Continue reading
It’s about time I finally talked about my time in Los Angeles earlier this year. It was a long, fun-filled trip, with visits to different districts in the L.A. area.
