Oh, The Places You'll Go

Sure, I've seen my fair share of our amazing country, from sea to shining sea. I wanted to take it one step further, I want to see life outside the US, I want to see the world. Unfortunately, I don't have the funds to travel the entire world, so I started with Europe. It's something that I've always said I would do, and what better time than the present? So I booked a month long European adventure with Contiki Tours. This is where I went...

Let me start by saying that my fellow travelers made this trip what it was. Immediately all 47 of us hit it off right away. Most people were from Australia and New Zealand but then there were some from Canada, United States and even South Africa. Because of this mixture of cultures and nationalities, it made for some interesting conversation. Seeing that the majority of people went on the trip solo, it was a refreshing to meet like minded people looking to have the same life experiences. Don't get me wrong, when you are with the same people in confining spaces, such as a coach bus, for that amount of time, patience is tested and bickering is common. But more importantly, long and heartfelt discussions were had, differences in cultures were discussed and lifelong friendships were developed. I'll always remember my European Escapade with my new "Contiki Family". 

Cruise like a Norwegian

The last few months have been full of travel for me. One month in the Caribbean and one month in Europe. Both amazing experiences, each in their own way.

The month spent in the Caribbean was because I was working for another cruise liner, this time, Norwegian. And naturally, I loved it! Not only is the job of hanging out with the kids so much fun but also the people I meet and the places I get to visit.


This run included Great Stirrup Cay, St. Thomas, Grand Cayman, Bahamas, Jamaica, Puerto Rico and Cozumel. Basically a dream month come true! While working on my tan I was able to do things that I never imagined. Some of my most memorable activities included climbing Dunn's River Falls and "bobsledding" in Jamaica, swimming with dolphins in Grand Cayman, snorkeling in the Bahamas, exploring the old military for in San Juan, PR and having countless relaxing days on the beach.
