Jumping Into Spring | #LifeUpdate
It's been a slow start to 2015 and I'm not sad about it, as my plans for the remainder of the year are about to ramp up to 150%. I spent January and February in Dusseldorf, Germany as I tried to acquaint myself to the city I now call home. I have had a few people ask...
VAGINAS, VAGINAS | Travel With Sckoon Cup
Yes, I am going to talk about vaginas today and no, I don't think it's weird! I can't tell you how many comments I get on a regular basis from people teasing me about how weird it is that I post about female 'items' on my travel blog. It's not that I'm obsessed...

How He Went From A Gas Explosion to Singing on The Voice Cambodia

Where the Drag Queens Race | Supporting Deutsche AIDS-Hilfe
It's funny, I've been living here for a few weeks now and have starting picking up the 'Dusseldorf ways' of living. Being re-immersed into the world of a tourist this week has been an absolute blast. It helps me remember what my first impressions were like coming to...
Five Spectacular Yet Not-So-Famous Ruins
Ruins have a special and unique attraction. Remnants of buildings are dramatic evidence of time gone past, but they’re also a foundation for the bricks-and-mortar of our imagination. It often takes little effort to picture what the original constructions may have...
The Ultimate Guide to Booking Flights
There was a time where I'd bounce back and forth between 20+ flight booking sites before finding a decent price to book at. I would go crazy... I could spend hours online before actually finding a flight that I was even remotely content with only to find the page...
