How To: Travel as a Picky Eater with a Selectively Diverse Palate
Conversing with an acquaintance a short time ago brought up the concept of being a picky eater while possessing a diverse palate. Until then, I never considered it.

25 by 25. Such a nice ring to it. For as long as I can recall, I anticipated visiting 25 countries before 25 years old. The fact that I’m turning 25 later this month is absurd. I turned 24 in total lockdown, and it is ridiculous that a year has passed since. I don’t feel…

I came across his business card recently. It felt as if I nearly allowed his memory to escape me. Inadvertently or on purpose, I’m not quite sure. One thing for certain, an impression was left. I almost allowed the way he treated me to dictate if I would ever travel solo again. I assumed he…

Save Your Money (Literally): Why I No Longer Purchase Souvenirs

Looking Back: How I Prepared for My First Solo Trip
Mental, Physical, and Emotional Preparation People continually search for a push to travel solo. They stand by for someone else to persuade them or seek signs to embark on this journey. Me?

Bucket List Things: Sharing My Must-See’s in the 50 States
When it comes to travel, I typically opt to go international. Although I live in the states, I’ve yet to explore much of it. Traveling around the United States is usually much more expensive, which deters me from doing so. Another reason? I love immersing myself in other cultures and attempting to get around in…
