I didn't tour Switzerland this time, I basically moved into a friend's village - cows at the fence, fresh ravioli, darts in a boccia hall and my first ever lynx. Then the airline lost my seat (the plane existed, my ticket did not) and I got one more day/ There's definitely worse places to be stuck, this wasn't one of them!
Met a friend there who had flown from the states. We had both heard amazing things about this destination, and knew it was not as popular as other Euro destinations, so we figured we would give it a bash!
Everyone talks about Mexico City as an amazing travel destination. I put together a trip for 18 friends for my 40th birthday to have an epic weekend with great food, fun Mexican adventures and celebrating beautiful friendships.
Switzerland will eat your budget alive, so I did it the only cheap way there is - a friend with a car and no plan. Five days got me a lake so clear you can see the statue on the bottom, a village you can't drive to, a rainbow in the Rhine Falls and a casino that has since shut down (not my fault).
It was a volunteering opportunity to teach kids from the Reserve’s surrounding schools about environment and conservation, eco tourism and wildlife.
One tunnel under the Alps and Switzerland turns Italian - palm trees, lasagna by the lake and river water so green it looks fake. Everyone does Zurich and the mountains and never goes south, which is exactly why you should.
The Scottish Western Isles - particularly Isle of Skye - tend to show up on everyones bucket list. They are wild, rugged, otherworldy, and a nature-lover's playgorund. Being so close by, we decided to take a trip when our best friend from the States visted us here in Scotland.
Met friends there on study abroad
Just for fun! I used to live in Washington DC and this is an easy trip!
I currently live 2 hours away from Edinburgh in the Northeast of Scotland, and have frequently visited Edinburgh for fun, to stay with friends, and for the famed Fringe festival each August!
Everyone tells you to skip Panajachel and stay in San Marcos or San Pedro instead. I based myself in Pana for three days, took the boat out every morning, and got the painted houses, the art galleries and the best view on the lake without packing up once.
Everyone treats Antigua as the place you sleep before you climb something. I gave it seven days, watched Fuego erupt over the rooftops before breakfast, and got my first earthquake in a three-story bar at midnight.
I went to school here and lived here for a period of time! I wanted to share some of the best spots in this cute, quirky town that has been the subject of songs.
I was called to officiate some basketball games at the camp, with the camp’s basketball team “Dream team” playing against two other teams from Lilongwe city.
Visiting the refugee camp was enlightening and thee was a lot of learning. Aside the basketball, the communion with the people was exquisite.
Ever heard of artistic serenity? Yeah, that’s what I was looking for. Cultural ancestral inspiration into my soul, to forge on. Initially it was just a trip to a national park, and ended up being diverted to a full vacay. An unexpected adventure.
