The Truth: Why Living Abroad Has Made Me Understand My Parents

Posted on February 17, 2014 by therootedtraveller • 12 Comments

I always remember what it was like being a little girl. There were many times of confusion, and while I understood in some strange way that I was lucky, I couldn’t help but compare myself to my peers. I looked different from a lot of them, and while a lot of my friends were of … Continue reading →

From Madrid to Madiba: Worldly Love

Posted on December 7, 2013 by therootedtraveller • 3 Comments

Nothing takes you out of your comfort zone like living abroad – far away from your main support system – and traveling can. Over the past few weeks, there have been several days where I’ve questioned my time here, what my goals are, why I’ve felt like I’ve been extremely inefficient, and what the point … Continue reading →

Past the Passport

Posted on July 4, 2013 by therootedtraveller • Leave a comment

As a kid, my passport always seemed to be some elusive packet of paper that my parents liked to hide from me. Well, so it appeared, until we made our regular way down south, to the country I still never really feel like a foreigner in (the United States, that is). Those days, I never … Continue reading →

My Open Letter to the “Open-Minded” Hypocrite

Posted on December 19, 2012 by therootedtraveller • 1 Comment

Dear non-believer, You’re probably a little insulted by me calling you a “non-believer”. Either that, or you’re going, “hah, I told you guys” at the pretentiousness of the term. To clear things up, that was my ill-fated attempt at making the subject less serious, because let’s face it, this is a tricky topic. I’m only … Continue reading →

Ramblings on the Cost of Education

Posted on July 4, 2012 by therootedtraveller • Leave a comment

I’ve written about the commodification of education and my thoughts on how we, the “millenials” just need to suck it up. With the recent changes made to (American) student loans and repayment, however, I decided to elaborate a little on my thoughts on what post-secondary education has become. When I was in high school, I … Continue reading →

Economic musings by a “Millenial” traveller

Posted on June 13, 2012 by therootedtraveller • 2 Comments

They call us the “unlucky” generation – by “they”, I mean the same people who now claim Europe (Greece in particular) is going nowhere but down from here on out. These pessimistic, almost insulting, group make up a great deal of the media elite, feeding us with information that only makes us feel worse. Now, … Continue reading →

Novel Ideas: The Hunger Games Trilogy

Posted on February 14, 2012 by therootedtraveller • 5 Comments

It’s been around a couple of years – maybe even more – now since I first heard of The Hunger Games. I must have been 19, only 3 years older than the main protagonist of the series is in the first book, yet the books somehow seemed incredibly childish to me. After hearing the descriptions … Continue reading →
