While I’m there, my goal is to learn from my experiences, from those of others and create something that will impact people’s lives positively even after I’m gone. As I do all ofContinue reading “The Start of Something…”

Volunteer Abroad: Lessons from Panamá
Hi there, Happy Hump Day! If you’re anything like me, you might want to volunteer abroad for many reasons; maybe you enjoy working with people, or you’re passionate about improving equitable access to care, education, and resources.

You’re Scared, So What?
I was not an adventurous girl. As a child, I read books, I wrote short stories and dramas, and I loved to be in my room. I went outside to play quite a bit because my grandparents made sure we got some sun and exercise, and because staying indoors could get boring. I’d take myContinue reading “You’re Scared, So What?”
How I Travel.
Hi there! Now, this is a story all about how…I travel? It doesn’t quite work with the “Fresh Prince” melody but I’ll go with it. Since I started a blog, I’ve been getting questions about “how I travel”. These questions come in various ways but the theme is usually the same.

Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.
There are two kinds of beach-goers. The kind who like a shaded, quiet area to read or sleep under, and the kind who come with 20 friends, a Bluetooth speaker, and brown paper bags. Both are there to have a good time, they just have different definitions of what that is. I lean heavily toContinue reading “Miami, Florida : An introvert’s guide to South Beach.”
Wanderlust Wednesday #14
Hi there! Thanks for stopping by again this week. I honestly cannot believe I’ve been blogging for about 4 months now. Consistently too, considering the fact that school would like to suck my life away. It’s definitely been a long time coming (I know most people say this, but it’s TRUE) and I can’t waitContinue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #14”

Hi everyone, Sending happy mid-week vibes to you wherever you are in the world!

On this particular episode, he visited Montreal, Quebec and proceededContinue reading “Wanderlust Wednesday #13”
