Learning from Our Travel Mistakes

8 June 2010

(Over the next couple of weeks I’m recounting ways that travel has helped me to learn about myself. For reference check out my first article: How Travel makes us Smarter, Wiser and All-Around More Awesome and Learning to Love Being Alone) Once, I took a trip that wasn’t very fun. It was one of my [...]

(Over the next couple of weeks I’m recounting ways that travel has helped me to learn about myself. For references check out my first article: How Travel makes us Smarter, Wiser and All-Around More Awesome) Here’s a story I don’t think I’ve ever written about before: Studying abroad in London was the first time I’d [...]

The Art of English Gardening

Back in February, when I was suffering through the torturous Snowpocalypse, it was really hard to believe that warm weather would ever return again. Springtime always makes me think of England. Although their winters are even longer and darker then around here, they sure know how to take advantage of the weather they do have, [...]

Journey Around the Balkans: A Round-up

Over the past six months or so, I have been slowly chronicling my journey through the Western Balkans. Now that I’ve completed my slowly building PR campaign, I thought I would do a round up of the many Balkans related posts I’ve written: 5 Reasons to Visit the Balkans Now Bosnia: The Forgotten City of [...]

Herzegovina: The Flip Side of Bosnia

16 May 2010

Most people skip the mouthful of words that is Bosnia & Herzegovina, instead going for the shortened form of Bosnia. The two territories have had an on again/off again relationship over the past thousand years, sometimes grouped together sometimes not.

I have a confession. I’ve been procrastinating. Just a few months ago I was so excited about planning this trip! I had spreadsheets, word documents and a pile of highlighted guidebooks. I had information compiled, opinions stockpiled and a calendar with a big red X on it. I was gung ho and ready to go! [...]

Plitvice National Park: The Land Before Time

There are so many things I could say about Plitvice Lakes National Park, but none of them do it the justice that this pictures does: Doesn’t it look like some sort of lost world? I half expected to see a dinosaur lumbering out of the bushes at any moment. In actuality, Plitvice is one of [...]

Around the Bay with a Local

Believe it or not, I didn’t fly cross-country last week with the intention of falling head over heels for San Francisco. I actually went out to California to visit my college friend Susan. Susan and I bonded first semester of college when we both signed up for the same freshman seminar: Archeology of the Bible. [...]

Flirting with San Francisco

Travel, like dating, is an exercise in possibilities. A thrilling rendezvous with a new city is all about getting to know each other, searching for a common connection. Do I like how this place makes me feel? Could I see myself, working, playing, and living here? Could I make a long-term commitment? It’s a game [...]
