Our next stop after Barcelona was Aix-en-Provence, France. Since Nice was our following stop, I wanted to find a place that was a little off the beaten path and not on the water. I also wanted to find somewhere that was easy to get to via train so after a little bit of research I … Continue reading Aix Marks the Spot
Busy in Bustling Barcelona
People always ask, "if there was one city in Europe you could spend 4-5 days in, what would it be." My answer is always and still is: BARCELONA.

Making Memories in Madrid
I had never been to Madrid even though I had spent over a month in Spain at one point so for me the capital city of Spain would all be new to me.

Getting my Ocean Fix in San Diego
I had grown accustomed to seeing the ocean every day while living in Charleston. It was a short two blocks away and I'd walk down to it every morning before work.

Why watching the Masters helped me reflect on my 8-year old self’s dream
Like many of you, I watched Tiger Woods win the 2019 Masters tournament and was excited to see him win. Being a big golfer myself growing up, I tuned in each week to watch him play and was in awe with how often he would win. He was the best in every facet of the … Continue reading Why watching the Masters helped me reflect on my 8-year old self’s dream
An unforgettable Korean experience
My second day in Korea got off to a great start as it was a balmy 25 degrees in the morning which felt like 75 after the single digits we fared walking around the previous day. It was also the day I learned that breakfast isn't really a thing in Korea after starting the day … Continue reading An unforgettable Korean experience
