Over the last couple of months, I took a break from blogging, sharing, and being a part of the constant hyperactivity of the internet, and it was probably the best decision I could have made. During my four years of studying abroad, I became so accustomed to that unordinary feeling of culture shock that when … Continue reading
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
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
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

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
It rained all morning, which I guess is a good thing because I didn’t feel as bad about being cooped up in my room with last minute packing. It sounds like such a simple thing to do – put some clothes in a case, zip it up, and you’re good to go. However, packing is … Continue reading
I took these photos one year ago in Hiroshima, Japan during a long-after-school bike ride. It was almost always a bit grey on the streets of Hiroshima, but the gloominess fit the architecture of the city in a peaceful sort of way. The statues in the Peace Park always appeared bolder when they didn’t have … Continue reading
Traveling is a mindset – it has no limits and is most often found up in the clouds. The motivation to reach the ‘goals’ of travel can inexplicably engulf all other responsibilities or norms of the average Joe. Henceforth, travel is dangerous to the ‘normal’ way of maturing. But the experiences aren’t just photos in … Continue reading
