I’ve always written off this place because growing up, I would hear about countless mission trips here. Like, isn’t everyone there culturally catholic already?
Central/South America
In March 2017, I had the opportunity to visit two cities in Brazil: Florianopolis and Rio de Janiero. I have a great uncle that is a retired ship captain and many second cousins there. My cousins had just opened up a pizza shop. It was the perfect time of year

I’ve been to Alabama twice. It’s funny because people outside of Alabama are like… why? It’s a humid and strangely beautiful place. But I also feel like an outsider the second I step foot there. I don’t feel like I could ever blend in, no matter

I remember when I met my first college roommate, who is from Houston, and stupidly asked her, “Houston has an airport?” I’m pretty sure she alerted the authorities immediately because I knew an embarrassingly small amount about Texas. Houston is one of the largest cities in the United States.

I think the hottest guys in Russia are from Kazan. Hear me out. Kazan is the capital of Tatarstan, a semi-autonomous region on the western, European side of Russia. Tatars are a Turkic ethnic group indigenous to that region. There are also about five million ethnically Tatar living in

San Antonio was awesome! We’ve been here many times in the past, but it was the first time we flew here as a destination. Casey and I brought our cat there. It was cold and rainy the entire time we were there. That’s becoming my preferred weather. The

We had our first visitor to in the Bay Area! My boyfriend and I moved here in 2017 and we never miss “home”. For our first visitor, we wanted to welcome him to our California. It wasn’t the theme parks, or bars, or cool restaurants we wanted to take

I spent an entire week in Ufa, Bashkortostan, Russia. When I told people in Russia I was headed there, the immediate reaction was why? Bashkortostan is a sleepy Muslim republic off of the White River. I was like, why not? I want to get to know every inch of Russia.

I’ve visited Los Angeles many times as a kid with my family. I knew it for the beaches and Getty Museum, which was a memorable place for me as a kid. I finally got to go back, as an adult. I was in Los Angeles to reconnect with an

Some of my best travels happen right when I quit a job. I remember when I quit my crappy retail sales associate job in Austin the day I bought a ticket to Long Beach. And with the latest trip, I quit a job and flew off to Portland that very
Europe
My family and I traveled to Frankfurt, Berlin, and Munich in 2015. We met friends and visited museums. I kept all notes and paper in a Moleskine notebook. Germany is surprisingly a lot like the US. For some reason I get Philly-vibes there. Maybe the cleanliness, small streets, houses
