Noviembre 24, 2015 Es el primer día del viaje al norte de Suecia y estamos en el tren para la noche — no me imaginé que un viaje por diecisiete horas podría ser agradable, pero me ha sorprendido con las conversaciones y vistas increíbles en el camino. Me desperté con la vista de un paisaje … Continue reading

Highlights from Backpacking through the UK
The last month has been both one of the most chaotic and most incredible travel experiences of my life. Chaos simply happened do to quickly moving around, hopping on trains and missing buses (multiple times). There were bumps in the road that could have never been predicted, which made me a more patient person by … Continue reading
Study & Travel, a Reflection of Balance
Most of these summer days have been washed away with rain. Now it is mid-August, my brother and sisters are back in school, and I sit here staring at the still-incomplete copy of my Extended Essay as the rain continues to drip outside. I can’t say it was a terrible summer, because it was really quite … Continue reading
The Last Moments of Greece
The summer is escaping faster than I could have imagined, so before it slips away completely I commented on a few of my better photos from Greece. For more photos please visit my Flickr or my VSCO page. Continue reading
Philosophical in the Peloponnese

I don’t exactly remember how or where I first heard of the idea of these Gods, but I clearly remember … Continue reading
Athens
Athens has a certain vibe to the city that I can’t exactly put into words, but the slightly anarchist street art and the mystical appeal of the ancient architecture makes it a place like no other. Various tiles and stones tend to make up the streets and pigeons will always find their way just out … Continue reading
Rainbows mean Rainy Days
It rains here. A lot. When I wake up in the mornings the grey sky has a slight golden hue coming in from the West and hopes that sunshine will break through the clouds today bubble inside our little cabin. To no avail – it’s noon and the rain hasn’t stopped. Continue reading
Year in Review 2014
2014 – the year of questions and polaroid pictures. Soon after the new year I barely caught my flight to Japan with David due to a roaring snowstorm throughout the Midwest. Luckily we landed safe and sound in Nippon just hours later. As we got off the plane, we stumbled towards immigration where by chance … Continue reading
Kia Ora New Zealand
One day back home and I am thinking back to New Zealand, after considering Auckland my home 3.5 months. A place where an umbrella is a necessity, where flat white coffees can be found on every corner, and adventuring is the most accessible pass time. Continue reading
