While I was studying in New Zealand, I took a class titled, “Travel Narratives.” I thought it would be right up my alley, combining my love for travel and writing. “This should be an easy A,” I thought. WRONG. Oh so wrong. Probably one of the most horrible classes I ever had to endure. I…
My favorite part of December is that it’s at the end of the year. It’s a new start, again. (I wonder how many ‘new starts’ I give myself throughout the year. Whatever.) It’s time to flip the page and leave 2014 in our past. A lesson that is nice to look back upon and reflect…
I fall in love every time I board a plane or take a drive beyond the city limits. I love this world so much. I am in love with these places all around me- they capture me, draw me in and inspire me to want to be a person of worth. Recently, I found myself…
I felt the cool Northern California breeze rush through my bones as it snuck its way into my sleeping bag. I shivered and rolled over, amused by the sight of my friends all piled up together in the middle of Berkeley. Only a few crazies would do this, but I’m glad those crazies were my…
If summer has to end, then I wanted to be sure to go out with a bang. One of my favorite things about moving is not only the exploring of the infinite abyss but also, the seemingly endless amount of visitors. The past two weeks have definitely had me exploring the PNW, West Coast and…
Seattle. Traffic. Is. The. Worst. One hour, I repeat, one hour, to make it down 3 blocks in the city last Friday afternoon. What. The. Hell. It was a rough day and we were ready for this much needed weekend away from the city. However, with traffic like this- it wasn’t looking like that was…
After a night spent in the WalMart parking lot, I was definitely ready to get on with the journey. It was 5am and just the beginning lights of dawn could be seen in the distance. My neck was cramped, my legs sore and my eyes just couldn’t seem to moisten but I wanted nothing more…
Thursday night before my departure I didn’t sleep very well. I tossed and turned all night long wondering if I was making the right decision. As part of my personality, I’m constantly worrying about taking the ‘right’ path and making the decisions that will make me the happiest in the long run. My students kept…
Summertime is almost here! It’s time to say buh-bye to those winter blues, bust out the ‘ole sunnies and slap on that sunscreen. The days are longer, the weather is nicer and people are just plain ole more fun to be around. Oh, and for us that may be slightly insane, summertime means one thing…
Paging my inner Penny Lane; I am so beyond excited! In three weeks I will be hitting the road to tag along on the Almost Famous ’73 tour! Just kidding- kinda.. Instead of Stillwater, I’ll be following the indie folk-rock band, The Head and The Heart. This band won my heart over back in 2010…
