WELCOME TO ICELAND
The last blog in my UK series, I wanted this post to reflect Iceland’s true magic. The last time we talked about the United Kingdom, I was in Ireland, slowly making my way through a pint of Guinness. From Dublin, my mom and I took a two-hour flight to Reykjavik. A quick enough journey, we…
Irish Stories: Tombs, Tours, and Temples
This is my love letter to Ireland. My grandma has always talked about wanting to visit Ireland because of her Irish heritage. I too, have dreamed of this place for a long time and I’m extremely grateful to have experienced it with my mother. We flew into Dublin from Scotland and immediately realized that in…

This past weekend I flew into Buffalo for the sole purpose of seeing Niagara Falls – a bucket list experience that’s been on my mind for quite some time. After arriving in Buffalo, I learned the next bus that would take me to the falls…
Nicaragua: A Hidden Gem
One recent county that I had the privilege to visit, was Nicaragua! I had an absolute blast and got to really immerse myself in the culture, test my spanish-speaking skills, and further my photography passion. I got to experience hiking in a cloud forest, planting mangrove trees, visiting old cathedrals, canoeing, and donating school supplies…
