Continue reading →: The Art of Being Perpetually Clueless: A Week in MalaysiaMy first week in Asia has been a welcome shift–new continent, new culture, new rhythm.

Continue reading →: Six Weeks In: A Shift on the Dalmatian CoastAh, Croatia. Yes, it is as beautiful as they say. It was a short 2-hour bus ride from Ljubljana, Slovenia to the capital city of Zagreb. Strangely, I was not asked to show my passport as I traveled from Slovenia into Croatia.

Continue reading →: The Heartbeat of the HostelI’m sitting in a hostel in Pontevedra, Spain, watching my fellow guests pack up and prepare themselves to walk all day.
