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.
Do you even crossfit?
You may or may not know that I am very into crossfit. Some people while traveling collect things such as paintings or magnets I, however, collect crossfit shirts. 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…
Ho-lay Bariloche
Two hours ago I was laying in bed. Two hours ago my day consisted of laying in bed, eating, and watching the Seahawks game. One hour ago an email informed me that I needed to be in Bariloche today before midnight. One hour ago I booked my flight, canceled my last nights stay (didn’t get…
Solo female backpacking advice.
1. I try to always stay away from the main touristy roads. When anyone asks me advice on traveling, these are always the first words out of my mouth. I discovered the advantages to staying away from the main tourist areas by pure accident. My first week in Bangkok I stayed at a hostel, Siam…

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…
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…
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…
Singapore
Post KL we spent two nights in Singapore. Where, for the first time in three months, I could drink the tap water and put the toilet paper in the toilet. Singapore was crazy. A huge and very rich city with some interesting laws; Chewing gum is banned, you can get whipped as a punishment, and…
