Still in Denial (Da-Nile)

Ah, the wonders of the world. Struggling through the desert heat is worth the magnificent artifacts that Egypt has to offer. Seeing the pyramid, sphinx and the Nile are Egypt's classic monuments- as they should be, because they are truly breathtaking. You feel small as the world's wonders tower over you. It seems incredible that...

O man It’s Hot

In the desert heat people say all kinds of crazy things. Among the craziness that the heat waves cast upon its victims, I've heard statements that may seem ridiculous at first, but somehow end up being true: 'Hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk' is one of these saying that I found to...

What Athens in Greece, Stays in Greece…

I was only able to visit Athens when I traveled to Greece, I wish I had been able to go to more cities like Santorini, but I'll save that for next time. My adventures in Greece were beautiful. Reminiscing, I can only smile and laugh to myself. The water and white buildings combined with ruins...

Mosquitos, alligators and beaches galore!

Top of the Mountains

Colorado Springs, Colorado The mountains of Colorado are breathtaking- literally! The altitude takes some adjusting, but the views are worth it. Whether the mountains are lush green or topped with snow, there are so many outdoor activities in Colorado. Staying at a cabin far into the mountains, I was able to get there by both...

Home Sweet Rome

Rome, Italy There's no place like Rome, there's no place like Rome... maybe if I say it enough I will miraculously appear back in Italy. Italy is one of my favorite places, partly because of the food; I might need to dedicate an entire post to Italian food. Upon arriving in Italy, my taxi driver...

Czechin’ More Off My Bucket List

Cesky Krumlov, Czech Republic The Czech Republic holds a special place in my heart. While there, I was able to travel to a handful of cities across including a tiny town known for its fairytale features- Cesky Krumlov. Cesky Krumlov is known for its rugged cobblestone streets and small homes enclosed by the Vltava River....

The Wurst Day Ever Just Got So Much Better

Berlin, Germany It was hard to find time to absorb all of Berlin's history AND eat all the delicious food. I spent most of my days in Berlin walking along the Berlin Wall, exploring the Reichstag, eating schnitzel and drinking beer. The beer gardens were one of my favorite activities in Berlin. Cute outdoor parks...

Life’s a Beach

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic I'm sad to hear of all the hurricanes in Dominican Republic, but can reminisce on my good memories there... the beautiful white sand beaches and clear water are what I dream of during the cold winters at home. Instead of lazing at the beaches all day, I decided to take a...
