I don't even know where to begin. It's strange being here. I'm torn between feeling perfectly normal and horribly out of place. The range of emotions I've felt has gone from crying for joy to frustration to disgust to loneliness to content. Here's how. I landed yesterday morning at 8.15am. Getting off the plane and [...]
Picking up where we left off on the New England Road Trip. We planned day two to be a bit more relaxed than day one. There wasn't as heavy a rush to leave first thing in the morning due to a long drive. We set off around 9.00am towards Plymouth. Now we didn't really know [...]
We arrived in Boston late last Thursday night. We were all beat from long days of work or school, so we got our rental car and headed straight to our Air BnB in Roxbury. The next morning we were on the road bright and early headed to Maine. Kimberly had researched different places for us [...]
My friends and I returned home LATE Monday night / Tuesday morning from our four day road trip of New England. We had a BLAST! We visited Maine and Massachusetts and drove through New Hampshire. Our original plan of visiting Rhode Island and touching Connecticut was thrown out the window - we had some unexpected [...]
For a week. But STILL! I'm going back to Ireland! One month from now, I will be jet setting to the Emerald Isle to get my fix on Bulmers cider and Cadbury caramels. I plan to see all of my friends and wander by my old apartment. I. Cannot. Wait. My week over there will [...]

I was looking through pictures from my trip to Egypt the other day, and I was reminded of the shear beauty of the River Nile from the sky. The $140 I forked out for a 4.00am wake up and hot air balloon ride was more than worth it! I saw the sun rise directly over [...]
Last month, my dad and I took a day trip to Chattanooga, Tennessee. Looking back on it, we should not have decided to go on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend, but hindsight is always 20/20. We live about 2.5 hours south of Chattanooga, so we set out around 11.00am thinking that we would be [...]
The following is a column that I wrote for the Times Georgian in Carrollton, GA. Do your research. Walt Disney World is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. According to an article by Huffington Post, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom receives an annual 17,000,000 visitors and is listed in the number 8 [...]
One year ago, I hopped off an Aer Lingus flight, piled giant suitcases into a taxi, and sped off into the early Dublin day. I had no idea what adventures awaited me, who I would meet, or what my lunch was going to be. I was in uncharted territory. A vision danced before my eyes. My feet [...]
