Fabrica de Vidrio, Mexico City
This past Thursday I had a really great opportunity to go to the local glass blowing workshop. This wasn’t your, wow look at all this really fine, delicate, expensive art, no. This was a workshop where a group of men worked incredibly hard and efficient to create a large volume of recycled glass products. The…

Bellinis and lipstick, Venice
The light begins to fade on the streets of Venice and I can’t decide what’s more entertaining, the story of the lost tourist sitting at the table beside me, the thoughts in my head, or the whirlpool of my pink Bellini. Tourist upon tourists wander by without a second thought while aching feet intersect with…
Mexico City Pride 2019
Upon our arrival to Mexico City my mom and I had about 3 days to explore the city of Mexico before starting our language classes at CEPE. We purposefully booked rooms at a hostel in the center of the historic district even though it was about an hour away from CEPE by transport for two…

Bariloche, Argentina
My first few hours in Bariloche was quite possibly the worst hours I have experienced during my past months of traveling. After waking up on Sunday, changing all my plans, spending over 350 dollars, I arrived into Bariloche. I stayed in the airport to watch the Seahawks game, and then shortly after received an email…

So far I have attended crossfit classes in Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and now Argentina. (I must admit I do collect scarfs and bracelets) Before my experience…

Canggu, Bali
Spent two nights in a small town north of Kuta where the people were friendly, the food was good, and beach was beautiful. I ate in restaurants next to rice paddies, and helped with the local beach clean up. I also had the amazing chance to met the owners of Rojos Breakfast Corner. These ladies…
