I headed to the isolated island of Caye Caulker, Belize in September 2016. In order to get to the island, you need to fly into Belize City (or get to Belize City), and take a 45-minute water taxi from the port. At the port, I got a few unwanted cat calls, stares, etc., but I …
On my way to Finland I was lucky enough to snatch a flight on Norwegian Air with a 9-hour layover in Oslo. Anyone who is even slightly familiar with my travel style knows that my favorite thing EVER is to get a layover in a new city that’s long enough to actually leave the airport. …
Paella, padrons, jamon, patatas bravas, albondigos… the list goes on and on. I had done minimal research on what to eat in Spain, but once I was there, I almost immediately fell in love with the cuisine. I went to Barcelona in November 2014, and to this day, it remains my favorite food city. I …
I had been reading so much on people who take solo trips, and I got bit by the bug. I was curious; what is so intriguing about going somewhere alone? What the hell do these people do? Do they get bored? I thought of every question that I’m now constantly asked. I wanted to do …

Day One I had heard from plenty of people that five days in Santorini was too much time, and I should knock it down to four and consider going to a different island for a day or two. I decided to take it slow (I’m usually a speedy traveler as time does tend to be …
I stayed in Florence and used it as a hub to see many nearby sights; Tuscany, Cinque Terre, etc. I booked a day tour to go see Cinque Terre since I was unsure as to how to get there otherwise and the tour seemed like an easier option (also, tours are a nice way to …
My awesome mom had booked me a tour to see 6 islands surrounding Split, Croatia. I woke up early to get to the port where my boat was allegedly taking off around 7:30am. A couple from New Zealand was also waiting and informed me they had gotten an email saying due to strong winds the …
I got back from Thailand in June 2016 and was not quite ready to face reality yet, so I found myself on SkyScanner searching for a cheap weekend getaway. A $200 roundtrip to Montreal from Newark popped up and with no hesitation, I booked! I arrived early on a Saturday morning in Montreal and had …
Chiang Mai was my favorite city I saw in Thailand. It’s a perfect blend of adventure, culture, delicious food, friendly people, and nature. I had five days there; here are the highlights of my trip: Grand Canyon The Grand Canyon is a natural pool about thirty minutes outside of Chiang Mai. I don’t even think …
