Last week I had my last post on my adventures in the Deep South, and after visiting New Orleans, Alabama, and Mississippi, I went to Florida to visit my family. They recently moved to Fort Myers, and I visited them last March and wrote a post about some hidden gems there, and I’ve visited them twice […]

You can view all posts from my trip to Italy here.  Naples was my last stop on my tour of Italy with my friends! I wish we could have ended it on a high note, but our day in Naples was the worst experience we had the entire trip. I thought I would do a post […]

Other than the post where I talk about my lovely experience getting parasites in Mexico, this is my most personal post to date. From breaking my arm when I was two years old to getting in a bad car accident last year, I’ve had more injuries than I can keep up with. I’ve had surgery and […]

Five years ago, my roundtrip flight to Denmark in the middle of winter cost over $1,000. Just a few weeks ago, I bought a roundtrip ticket to Denmark for only $400, AND it’s during tourist season!
