It started with a late night phone call to my mother- the two of us were going to Poland for ten days and decided that we needed a vacation within our trip. (Note: a trip and a vacation are very different, and visiting family in Poland is definitely a trip and not a vacation.) We…

During my ten days in the Southern Hemisphere I had the chance to visit the two “guays” of South America. (I highly doubt anyone calls them that, but the word “guay,” means “cool” in Spanish slang and I thought it was clever so just go with it.) I visited each of them for less than…

Remember when you always wanted everything you now have? I read that somewhere once (refrigerator magnet or Instagram caption, can’t remember, doesn’t matter) and I can’t help but repeat that to myself as I bask in my own contentment today. I wanted to travel to 50 countries before I turned 25. And I did that.…

Rio is a dangerous place. Dangerously beautiful, that is. Haha see what I did there? Funny? Nope, okay, moving on from the dad jokes. It first occurred to me that Rio was a stunner while drinking caipirinhas with my father on the beach the evening we landed. The beach was alive with Brazilians, all scantily…

I have been on two flights per week for the last eight weeks straight. Every single one of them, yes all 14, has either been on time or landed early. This is obviously an anomaly, and I’m a firm believer that if too many good things are happening to you in sequence- it means that…

There are a couple of trips you absolutely need to take in your twenties. The college euro trip. The Southeast Asia backpacking trip. The solo trip to some zen place to find yourself. The wild Vegas trip with your girlfriends. And the one that had somehow eluded me all these years: The classic large group…

What if you could piece together your perfect day. Do you ever think about that? What would it look like? What would happen to you? How would it make you feel? What if you woke up next to your best friend, laughing at your miraculously white pillow cases, proud that somehow both of you had…

We travel for a lot of reasons. We travel for work. We travel to relax. We travel for adventure. To learn. To grow. To escape. And sometimes, we travel just so that we can sit and have a beer in Mexico with people who are important to us. Once a year, I visit La Ventana,…

I’ve spent the last two weeks answering the same question, “How was your trip!?” And while I usually consider myself an articulate person, my reply to this question has been, without fail, some version of the word vomit below: “Hi! Thank you! It was super fun and really cool and different, and everything is shiny…

On the heels of my previous post detailing my dislike of camels, I spent today mesmerized by the dolphins that swam alongside our boat in the Gulf of Oman. Yesterday afternoon we crossed the UAE border into Oman, and spent today in Khasab sailing on a traditional Dhow boat through the Musandam Fjords. And by…
