The next stop in our journey was Myanmar, formerly Burma. This country is not a popular tourist destination. Many parts aren’t considered safe (sorry Mom). When I went to Vietnam for the first time in 2015, it was quite the culture shock. Everything was different: the smells, the traffic, the buildings, the street vendors, the…
The train arrived in Chang Mai early. It was a foggy morning, so there wasn’t much of a view on the way in. We rumbled into an old train station and offloaded with all our fellow passengers. We had arranged a cab to pick us up around the time the train arrived. Instead we were…
I’ve been told my grand parents have been looking forward to reading a blog post about my trip to Southeast Asia, so I guess I’ll stop waiting so long to write it. To celebrate our (late) graduation from college, my roommates Jackson, Kyle, and I decided to reward ourselves with a trip abroad. This trip…
It has taken some time but here is the second to last installment of my abroad blogs. I left Barcelona at the end of April for (hopefully not) the last time. It was tough but it was time to move on. The next adventure was Marrakech, Morocco. I went with my friend Annika who was…
Welcome back friends and family. If you’re reading this then I must have done something right, given this is my ninth blog post. I left off right before spring break, or Semana Santa as it is called in Spain. It is not the same crazy week that it is in the States. It is a…

Welcome to blog number 6. However, I believe it is my seventh or eighth week here. It goes by too fast, but there is plenty more to look forward to. For instance, I booked two more trips: London this coming weekend and Geneva, Switzerland the following weekend. Also the weather is getting gradually warmer. The…
Hello again! This past weekend I took a bus to Tollouse, France on one of my program excursions. First, I will recap the week. I’m not sure if I already mentioned this or not but I have officially bought flights to Ireland and Tenerife. Tenerife is one of the Canary Islands, which are off the…
So, last Saturday. Saturday it seemed many people were out of town, so I decided I wanted to go to Park Guell. It was a gamble, because it had been raining off and on throughout the day. Ultimately I decided to go. I knew the park was on a hill overlooking the city, but other…
