Tuk Tuk race cars and Cable car rides
If you go to Porto, please do the Tuk Tuk adventure. Request a driver who is into race cars. Adds more to the experience. Even though you will be holding on to deer life. Also, don’t wear hats and expect to need to comb your hair after. But I promise, it is worth it. Also…

Buda-Pest
It has been over a week since I left the Blue Lagoon and I am still dealing with stiff coarse hair. Although I have seen a huge improvement the last few days, it has very difficult to manage, especially while traveling with nothing other than shampoo, conditioner, and a brush. As a common side effect…

Praha, wow
It is hard to describe a city that left me speechless. Every time we turned a new corner, all I could say was wow. Between my infinite wows and the miles of beautiful architecture, Praha stole my heart. One the first day we arrived, we ventured the Jewish quarter in Old Town, ate delicious steak…

Two kinds of people
There are two types of people in this world. Ones that watch intensely as an airplane takes-off and lands, and those who close their eyes, forgetting the world around them exists, hoping to not think about how at any moment a bird could fly into the propeller of the wing, cause an explosion, and send…

Against all odds
Personally, this has been a very difficult trip, and it just started today! I had many personal obstacles that were present before I even checked into my flight. Some nights, when I was feeling hopeless, I even considered canceling the whole thing. But something kept me going. Maybe my audacity, love for travel or my…

4 letters with a “big” meaning

Mindfulness
These last few weeks, well even months, have been non-stop for me. I been pulled in a million different directions with no time to sit and be mindful. I haven’t spent a morning laying in bed thinking about nothing. I haven’t gone for a walk through the woods alone, embracing my feelings and inner thoughts.…

First Thoughts: Stockton Community Garden
Ever since I returned from Semester at Sea, I realized that there are adventures everywhere! I don’t have to leave New Jersey to find something new or to travel to a new place. This week I was tasked with writing my first thoughts of a new project at my University: the community garden. The following…

Montreal: a little piece of Europe
If I could describe my time in Montreal in one word, it would be: walking. According to my health app, I walked a total of 40 miles in the 9 days I spent in the city. It was both great exercise and the perfect way to learn the city. And there is nothing like becoming…

My five senses
During my trip to Colombia, I was able to visit Cartagena de Indias. It was a last minute trip that I am ecstatic to have had the opportunity to take. I am also very lucky to have awesome family members that welcomed me into their home for a week and became my tour guides, as…
