Morocco
I had never been to Africa before. When I found out a friend had just finished Peace Corps in Morocco, I jumped at the chance and had to visit her. I spent some time in Spain, then headed to Northern Morocco, specifically, the city of Tangier and Chefchaouen. Tangier Morocco was not what I thought…

One of my favorite travel partners is my grandpa. He and I have been to countless places… Brazil, Hong Kong, Canada, Northwestern United States, just to name a few. It had been more than a year since we went to Brazil, our last trip. So it was time for another trip… I got the idea…

Denver
I was able to connect with Zhenya, a friend I made while living in Samara, in Denver! It was the perfect place to meet up. It’s mild in the summer and an urban center with a lot to do. Zhenya and I spent many late nights talking and eating (she’s a chef!) in Samara, and…

Grenada
My boyfriend and I decided to spend ten days in Grenada, also known as the Isle of Spice. He had served in the Peace Corps for three years in that country and had not returned to a visit yet. Coincidentally, it’s also an island paradise famous for their nutmeg, sugarcane, rum, carnival, and jabjab celebration.…
