Helloooo everybody! I’m back with stories from another epic day in Iceland. I started off my day yesterday by driving from Vík to Diamond Beach, which is about 2.5 hours east. The drive was so beautiful! So much of the drive was through lava rock-covered areas, with mountains and glaciers. Seeing glaciers for the first …
Welcome back! I hope you’re ready for more epic adventures, because today we travel to the South of Iceland where there are SO many waterfalls! I packed everything into my car this morning around 9 am. It was a rainy morning, which I think helped me sleep much better! Hence, the “late” start. I had …
Welcome back! I am so excited to tell you about my second day in Iceland. Today’s journey was The Golden Circle, which is one of Iceland’s most iconic day trips. Despite going to sleep at 1am last night, I woke up well before my alarm. Instead of laying in bed wishing I could fall back …
I can’t believe it — I’m in ICELAND!!!! The land of fire and ice 🔥 Iceland has been on my vision board for so long, and now my dreams are becoming reality! It’s truly a magical place, and I’m eager to show you why. When I landed in Reykjavik early this morning, I was shuttled …
Hi, and welcome back to my Mexico City adventures. I left off my last post by saying that we left the hotel at 5 am on Saturday morning. You may be wondering what we were doing up that early (or, for some, that late)… We watched the sun rise over the Teotihuacan pyramids from hot …
Welcome back! I am so sorry for the lack of posts these past couple of days… I lost my ability to formulate sentences after about two days of no sleep 😅. It may be 2:30 am on a Sunday night in Michigan, but I am here to catch you up to speed with what I’ve …
Buenas Dias! It is currently 5:21 am and I have not slept yet. I think that tells you about how my day went… This morning, I woke up naturally at 6:30 am. I debated going back to sleep, but I’m in Mexico… I decided to just get up and go for a stroll to find …
¡Hola! from Mexico City! It is currently 12:45 am (the time I started writing this post), and I’m here to tell you that I just had the BEST first day in Mexico City! My day started at 4 am when I woke up and drove to the Detroit airport. I am so thankful to live …
It was January 18th, 2024. We had just crossed the border into Turkey, stopping briefly in Ancient Troy on our way to Assos. I was very excited to visit Ancient Troy since I had just read “Song of Achilles”. If you haven’t read that book, I highly recommend it! It was awe-inspiring to see the …
It was January 14th, 2024. We had just arrived in Kalambakka, Greece after spending a couple days in Delphi where my friends and I went on an epic hike. You can read about that experience here! Oh, and we stopped at Thermopylae on the way. I performed my declamation —a telling of the Battle of …
