Some Words About Finding Direction
It’s been a weird couple months. To say the least. This is probably a prime time for me to write and post on here a lot, but I’ve either wanted to shut my brain off and just watch TV, or I’ve been really busy making masks for hospitals and friends and also doing content writing for several nonprofits. I feel…

Three Days in NYC
As a post-Peace Corps treat to myself and as a birthday weekend for my uncle Thaddeus and aunt Bethany, I tagged along with my family to the Lower East Side where Thaddeus currently lives. We squeezed into a hotel room in midtown on a Thursday night last weekend and had a day of adventures together on Friday. When my aunt,…

Portland Travel Guide
My family recently took a Pacific Northwest trip to Seattle and Portland, one we’ve wanted to take for years but finally did this year since it’s our “last family vacation” before I move around the world for a while. Although my family may or may not have been annoyed at me a few times during this trip for dragging them…

A Travel Guide to Southwest Florida
Greetings from sunny Cape Coral, Florida! I spent my last spring break (sad) not partying it up in Ft. Lauderdale but lounging by my grandparents’ pool, which is definitely alright with me. We actually packed a lot in last week, going to Ft. Myers, Sarasota, Naples, Pine Island, and Cayo Costa beach. With me and my sister Peyton as each…

Palmettos and Pine
I spent last week drifting through a childhood memory. My family and I went on vacation to Kiawah Island, South Carolina; a place my grandparents, then my parents, then all of us used to vacation every year. However, once my parents had my little brother and my grandparents moved to Florida in 2008, we stopped going and hadn’t been back…

France, Spain and Home Again
I got home on Wednesday, May 23rd. My last week in Europe feels like forever ago. Sam and I were pretty stressed for a few days, about a week and a half ago, when we got stuck in Lyon, France, because of train strikes. We were trying to get to Nice, but the trains stopped running for a few days,…

Alpine Adventures
I’ll tell you what, the hills are definitely alive with the sound of music. Sam and I began our Eurailing adventure through Austria on Sunday. A Eurail Pass is a universal ticket for mostly all European trains. There are a bunch of different options, like single-country passes, 2-4 country passes, and 5+ country passes within a set amount of time.…

Street Art & Fairytales: A Short Guide to Berlin and Baveria
Hallo aus Deutschland! I just got done with traveling for a week in Germany and it was incredible!! I’m definitely feeling my German roots. My great-grandma Christa Elisabeth Adams (née Wolf) was born in 1924 in Penig, Germany. My own middle name, Elisabeth, is spelled with an “S” by the way because of her German spelling. Anyway, Christa spent part…

Finding Hygge in Copenhagen
Hej from Copenhagen! Copenhagen has both worn me out and energized me at the same time. This city has kept me busy, but allowed me to relax and enjoy the Danish way of life. I’ve done a ton of stuff and feel like I’ve been here for over a week, but really it’s only been four days since I left…
