    Honduras: Travel Day and First Impressions

    I’m usually a last minute packer but I was really a last minute packer with this trip. I took the day off to clean house, run errands, do laundry and pack and still found myself leaving the house 30 minutes later than I intended to. But first let’s talk about…

  • Denver, CO Contd. :Relaxation, RedRocks and Pampering

    Denver, CO Contd. :Relaxation, RedRocks and Pampering

    Colorado has been an absolute break away which was just what I needed. I decided instead of doing my write-ups day by day for this trip to just highlight key moments (whereas I would usually have 4 posts spanning my 4 days here, I will just have 2 post one…

  • Denver, CO: The Manitou Incline

    Denver, CO: The Manitou Incline

    I’ve been wanting to go to Denver, CO for some time now (in general mostly) but a few years ago when I saw someone highlight the Manitou Incline on Facebook I remember saying, “I want to do that.” I knew whenever I made it that that was going to be…

    *Long post alert* (Got a short post yesterday and a long one today-I had to even it out somehow). Day 4: I slept pretty good last night and stayed in bed as long as I could this morning. With this being our last full day here in Iceland we were…

    Reykjavik, Iceland: Snorkeling (Attempted)

    Day 3: I fell asleep last night before I could post my write-up but I got up around 4:30am, got ready for bed, finished it and posted it. I laid back down around 8am and actually bought a flight for next month (Denver-I wasn’t looking but I was looking). I…

    Reyjavik, Iceland: The Golden Circle and Gulfoss Falls

    Day 2: Got up this morning at 8am to find that it snowed/was snowing a bit outside. I got ready for the day and went downstairs to get breakfast. Kassandra and I would meet in the lobby at 9:30am to begin walking to the bus terminal for our 10am Golden…

  • Reykjavik, Iceland: City Tour, Sky Lagoon and Northern Lights Tour

    Reykjavik, Iceland: City Tour, Sky Lagoon and Northern Lights Tour

    Day 1: After we arrived safely at the airport (thank God), we snagged a few small bottles of liquor from the duty free shop and waited for the public bus into Reykjavik. We walked outside near the airport and caught the bus which was a good hour ride (I didn’t…

  • Reykjavik, Iceland: Manifest Iceland Flight (Quick Story)

    Reykjavik, Iceland: Manifest Iceland Flight (Quick Story)

    Quick Flight Storytime: The plane ride at one point gave me anxiety and I had to get myself together because at a point while I was awake trying to go back to sleep suddenly we sped up as if there was some resistance (it felt like we were falling but…

    Paris, France: Time to Say Goodbye

    Day 7: Departure Day We woke up at 6am and got ourselves ready to go. Everything was already packed for the most part and we had cleaned up the place last night. We made sure we had everything as we ate a quick breakfast and took out the trash. Lina…

  • Paris, France: Free Day

    Paris, France: Free Day

    Day 6: Free Day We didn’t sleep that great last night but thankfully today we had nowhere we needed to be. We both were up around 6:45am but went back to sleep (I applied for some jobs and checked emails and my mom watched Youtube). We got up around 12:30pm…
