Principles of Happiness

April 25, 2018 / Croatia, Montenegro, summer

I’ll be honest: The only reason I went out my first night in Montenegro was because my Airbnb didn’t have toilet paper. I figured a quick walk around town, a trip to the local grocery store, and I’d call it a night. But the shop didn’t close until 11pm (it was only 8:30 or so), […]

Exploring Lokrum

August 14, 2017 / Croatia, solo, summer, travel

Arriving in Dubrovnik with my short-term travel companions made the journey much more fun and relaxing (for me) than expected. By the time I had trudged up a million stairs with my oversized suitcase to my Airbnb, I was ready to meet up with my family and do some exploring. My Aunt Nancy, cousins Emma […]

Tour Day in Herzegovina

August 6, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, tour, travel

While there are countless benefits that I could go on and on about to traveling alone (and probably will soon), I briefly encountered one negative aspect during the first leg of my trip.    I’d researched all different tours that I was hoping to book, but when I finally went to book them I couldn’t- […]

Why I Loved Mostar

July 29, 2017 / Bosnia and Herzegovina, solo, summer, travel

I spent most of my time in Bosnia and Herzegovina in a kind of giddy delirium. I was so happy from the moment I stepped off the bus from Split, Croatia and into the astounding heat of Mostar. Giddy, sweaty, and exhausted. I’m not proud to say that my first act in Bosnia was a […]

My Night at the Billionaire’s Club (and other experiences in Sardinia)

February 4, 2016 / beach, boat, Italy, summer, The List, travel

I’ve never been one to lay around on a beach. Growing up with summers at Lake Wallkill, going to the beach meant building intense sand neighborhoods and sand factories (yes, factories), swim races, trying to gather the courage to dive off the high diving board, and swimming to the raft where we’d play human bowling before the […]

My Personal Paradise: Granada

August 25, 2014 / family, food, souvenirs, Spain, summer, travel

  Most of this post was written from Bird Poop Plaza <3 As I said about Barcelona, Spain is my soul sister and being there makes me feel complete.  Granada is forever close to my heart after being my first taste of Europe back in 2010. Studying abroad in the charismatic city was one of […]

Spain is My Soul Sister

July 26, 2014 / family, Spain, summer, travel

Barcelona rekindled my love affair with Spain. I adore Italy with all of my heart, but Spain speaks to my soul. Somehow (you know, with all that studying/partying/traveling downtime) I never made it to Barcelona while studying abroad but after my visit with Holly I am just head-over-heels for the beautiful, colorful, sun-shining city. Prepare […]

Questions and Comments from Flight 2359

July 26, 2014 / summer, travel

Maybe I’m becoming cynical, maybe I’m mean, and maybe I’m just incredibly jet-lagged. But yesterday on my flight to see Krista in San Jose, I found myself sitting next to an 18-year-old who I had absolutely no patience for. I had planned to spend the time finishing up a few blog posts, reading, and working […]
