  • Essential Morocco

    November 9-19, 2023. Morocco. It is just across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain and the rest of Europe. Although the shortest distance across the Strait is only 13 km, Morocco feels drastically different than everywhere in Europe. I visited for a long weekend while studying at SLU-Madrid on a group tour, which ultimately caused…

  • East Africa Safari

    September 16-28, 2023: Let’s go exploring! I traveled with Intrepid again on a small group tour across Kenya and Tanzania. It was an overland trip meaning we drove in a large expedition vehicle. Animal safaris and cultural activities mixed together to provide a comprehensive experience. Our first stop was a Masai village to learn about…

  • Travel to Nairobi, Kenya

    September 12-14, 2023: I have a thing for routines. This is ironic since my life is constantly changing. If something works well, I like to repeat it.

    September 3-12, 2022. Going on safari in Africa seemed like a crazy dream that could never come true. Normal people don’t get to see the African wildlife outside of zoos. Or at least that is what I thought. However, one day while I was daydreaming and looking at Intrepid’s tours, I noticed they provide an…

  • One Week in Cape Town

    August 31st, 2022. I decided to spend a week in Cape Town to give myself time to explore the city, go on a few day trips, and still have time to chill at the hostel or a cafe. I’m still not sure how I feel about Cape Town. It’s early spring here. It’s windy and…

  • Let the Adventure Begin!

    August 25, 2022: I’m writing this from 30,000ft on my way to Cape Town, South Africa, where I will begin my next round-the-world trip. The idea of this trip has been in the works since I came back from the last one. The goal of this trip is to visit the far away places that…
