The world is not…
Alright United-Statesians. I have a bone to pick with you (us.) Most of the world sees our country as one of the most powerful, influential countries on this planet. And that is probably true. But we also have some pretty incorrect assumptions about the rest of the world. I’m a little embarrassed to even write…
Panama City
I love you Panama City. I <3 Panama City. City of lights, of tropical artsy vibe, of street cats and uptown feels and terraces overlooking the stunning skyline of skyscrapers and lights. Of the land stretching along the ocean, of accented foreign English, of people from all over the world, of bumpin’ reggaeton and amapolas…
Why you shouldn’t travel
Please hear the satirical tone in this writing. This might be a little offensive, but I am just trying to make a point as clearly as possible, ironically while saying it backwards. At the end of the day I think everyone benefits from travel, and if this article describes you, traveling actually might be the…
Paraguay: The land of the chipa

We picked a cute restaurant downtown and all chose to start the day at 8 a.m. I walked in, my black ankle boots clicking, hair curled, lipstick on, earrings in place,…
Travel vs. Vacation
I gotta clear something up. When I refer to travel, I am not referring to flying to an all-inclusive resort in Cancun and swimming in the pool and drinking piña coladas. I’m not referring to doing a Disney cruise off the coast of Florida. I’m not even referring to going to some destination spa in…
Dreams that wait….
Not every dream happens overnight. I’m in this weird place right now where I decided to go on a long, indefinite backpacking trip. Yet I am finishing out my semester of dance, staying at my job I love a little longer, spending time with family and friends a little longer. And it freaks me out…
