People ask me all the time how I was able to afford eight months of travel. I always reply with the same three reasons: privilege, luck, and planning. Privilege. I was born into a world segregated by varying degrees of privilege. I come from a stable family, supporting community, and various other areas of privilege….

La boca, Buenos Aires
Although I wasn’t feeling well one of my dorm mates dragged me out of bed to see La Boca. La Boca is a small area in Buenos Aires with colorful buildings and thriving culture.
On the road again.
Well, I have arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina… And I’m pretty unprepared. I arrived with no idea of a place to stay, no clue of transportation options, and in general no preparation. In part, this was a result of my hectic 2.5 weeks spent at home. I have no idea how the time passed so…
South East Asia Video !!
Had a really fun 8 hours making a video of my trip (and by fun I mean, as fun as having your teeth pulled). If you want a pretty accurate summary of my three month adventure, check it out! South East Asia 2014 Enjoy!
Nusa Lembongan
It’s crazy to think I’m almost done with my trip in South East Asia. It’s crazy how the time feels like it has both flown by and slowly crawled. I find myself in Nusa Lembongan for the finals days of my adventure; what a place to end my trip. The beaches are stunning. The water…
Kuta, Bali part 2
I have now visited Kuta, Bali twice. The first time after arriving from Singapore, and now after Kuta, Lombok. Kuta is busy, touristy, and a bit stifling. I was very lucky to find an amazing guesthouse, Gong’s Corner, that is not only very cheap, but clean and the staff are incredibly friendly. I surfed for…
Kuta, Lombok
Spent five nights in Kuta, Lombok, Indonesia and it was amazing. Met a great couple from Switzerland after asking them about the wifi, and proceeded to spend the rest of the week surfing and hanging out with them. The five days were spent surfing, eating, and crashing my motorbike. Thankfully both the bike and I…
Gili T
Pancakes; forever, as long as I live, I will always think pancakes when I think of Gili T. Starchy, runny, flavorless pancakes with condensed chocolate milk and cinnamon. Gili T is a very small island off the coast of Lombok in Indonesia. V, N, and I went to Gili T for two days to enjoy…
Krabi
After my amazing week on Koh Tao, three of my dive group members and myself headed to Krabi on the west coast of Thailand. The move from Koh Tao to Krabi involved a sketchy night boat and a bus driver who almost kicked myself and another passenger out of the van for false crimes. Yay…
Kampot & Kep
After the island I spent two days in a wonderful, lazy beach town. Saw salt flats, pepper fields, drove through the country side, and ate fresh crab on the waterfront.
Siem Reap
I wasn’t a big fan of Siem Reap. This may be a result of only venturing into the touristy locations, where tuk-tuk drivers and vendors alike hound you every step you take.
Eating watermelon with a fork
It has been a very long week. It’s hard to believe that only a week ago I left Seattle. After arriving at my house in Sevilla, I met my roommate and we explored the town. So. Much. Walking. Friday was orientation day spent walking the city, meeting teachers, and eating. Getting used to the eating…
