In just a few short hours I will be getting on a train with no idea where I’m going or when I’ll be back. I’ve traveled enough at this point that this knowledge no longer terrifies but thrills me. It’s incredibly freeing to not know the details; to have a starting point and just go…

A Week Backpacking Portugal!
If you didn’t already know (I only mentioned it a million times), I spring-breaked in Portugal last week! I had such an amazing time so naturally the post is ridiculously long. I apologize in advance but I really did a lot so it was hard to condense. If you want to know how it went,…
Packing for Portugal
In just a few hours I will be hopping on a plane to a beautiful island. Unfortunately, the weather forecast says that I should expect warm rain for the entire trip. This has made packing somewhat of a challenge so I thought I would share my list with you. I was tempted to skip…
German Easter; no Peeps but better Chocolate… Tough Call
I’m starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel for this half of the semester. This week, most of the group projects were finally due, presentations were given, and the last remaining assignments planned for. While it was a decently busy week for me, it’s not really going to make for an interesting…
3, 2, 1 – Liftoff
I cannot believe this day is finally here. I have been planning and planning this trip for so long and for it now to finally be here – to be leaving America in just a few hours; it’s unreal. I am so emotional right now. I cannot decide if I am happy or sad; excited…
Two Weeks ’til I Move to the Other Side of the World – My Thoughts
I had big plans scheduled for todays post but when it came time to put fingers to the keyboard, I just couldn’t find the right words. The truth is that I’m getting incredibly sentimental. Perhaps you had already gleaned that from my last Food is Good post where I professed my love for McDonalds and other foods…
Power Up! My Electronic Gear
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t love technology. I love products that work intuitively and efficiently and that make life easier. I’m definitely not the millennial that is glued to their Snapchat and Facebook account but at this point, every facet of my life requires an internet connection. At this point, I am…
My Luggage
You’ve seen what I’m going to pack, now I thought it was time to show you what exactly I’m going to pack it in. I’ve used each of these pieces enough to give you a pretty thorough review. I’ve you are in the market or just curious about what I’m using, read on! I own the Fallbrook,…
Ripping DVD’s
Note: Sorry for my week-long absence. Life got busy and I didn’t get a chance to write any posts ahead of time. They should continue on schedule from here on out. If you are anything like me, you prefer to own your most beloved movies on DVD or BluRay and everything else as a digital copy…
Stock Up
As the final installment for my Week of Packing Prep I’m going to explain what and why I will purchasing in the USA and taking with me in my suitcase to Germany. It may be surprising to some, but even though Europe is very similar to the US, there are many cultural differences that reflect back on…
