It’s amazing how your perception of a place sometimes solely depends on the people you are with. That is certainly the case with me and Guatemala City. I’m convinced that had I come here and stayed in a sleepy hostel with no people and tried to fend for myself, I would have hated it. I [...]
I just got to the airport! I’m on my way! I’ve got pretty much the same gear packed with a few different shirts. I’m bringing jeans this time around since I’m going to be staying put for a few weeks at a time and sitting in class all day. And yes, the travel hair dryer [...]

I’m always eager to try new drinks when I get to a new country or region. We’ve had cold, gritty Turkish coffee to super-sweet milk tea in Thailand. Here are a few of our favorites! 1.Masala Chai – India Masala chai is one of my favorite things in India. Basically, it is black tea, usually [...]
Food is undeniably the best part of travel. There is nothing in the U.S. like the amazing street food you can get in Mexico, India, Spain, or Asia. The freshness of the produce and meats and the great flavors from the local spices are amazing. Our main goal upon arriving to a new place is [...]
