*From January 2, 2017 Watching travel videos and blogs about traveling got me into trouble. I believed that I could travel the world on a shoe-string budget, meet incredible people, and have adventures every day. The Internet did not show the difficulty of traveling. Those moments where things go horribly wrong. The days when you

I romanticized Manila at one point and said that things weren’t THAT bad. My inane attempt at deluding myself worked but it didn’t work on my family and friends. They knew what I went through because I was vocal about my problems for the first time. My closest friends and family saw how much of

I wrote my first WordPress post on my new site titled “Welcome to Adulthood” to a great response three years ago. It was passionate and informed which is why it was so well received.

I have spent almost two months in Siena, Italy. Siena is located in the Tuscany region of Italy. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site due to the ancient wall that surrounds the city. I happen to live in an apartment that has a beautiful view of the city. My life in Siena is beautiful, tiring,

Travelling has been in my blood since I was born. I like to think that I was born in the travel agency where my mother worked instead a hospital. I knew how to spell Morocco before most children knew how to tie their shoes. Growing up there explains why I am in bliss whenever I

Dealing with change is the most difficult thing for me. I always fall back on the familiar. Old habits really do die hard. My entire academic career should have prepared me for this moment. Yet, I have never felt more unprepared or scared in my life. I was always ready for graduation. I looked forward to never
