Just a Girl and Her Travel Blog
Well, it's here!! One year living in Dublin, Ireland and traveling around Europe and Israel caught on video. I finished the editing and every clip is only two seconds long. Apologies in advance because, well, I am not a videographer. Haha! You'll see what I mean. But this video is very personal with close friends [...]
Imagine salty chickpeas bursting in your mouth causing a rush of excitement. Just when your taste buds gain control of the chickpea’s flavor, peppers add a kick. Their hot twang takes you by surprise. But wait! What could that be now? A touch of garlic, a hint of humus, and a dash of onion swirl [...]
In May, I made the pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and that trip has forever changed my life. Our group visited the Herodian, the palace that Herod the Great built for himself outside of Bethlehem. From the pinnacle of the palace, Herod could see the distant hills of Jericho and almost all of Jerusalem. The palace initially stood [...]

How do I feel at the end of the day? I'm a little groggy today. The jet lag caught up with me this morning. We started the day with a 7.30 lecture that lasted until 10.00am. 😑 I mean, it was good but that was 5.30am on my body and listening to a lecture was [...]
How do I feel at the end of the day? I feel great!! Today was only a half day with us back at the hotel by 4.00pm. I'm currently, as I write this, laying pool side soaking up some vitamin D. The day started when my roommate got up at 6.00am. We were on the [...]
Y'all will get to read this once I have internet, but know that I am writing it on the airplane after the most glorious nap ever. I never expected to sleep for over three hours of the plane ride, but I've done it!! Oh and I am on my Kindle for the next week, so [...]
