My travels lately have taken me to countries I have already visited in order to explore more and that is fantastic. I had the opportunity to take a trip to Cuba with my mom and 6 of her friends and it is an experience I will never forget! Distant Horizons put together a week long…

Coachella 2019
23 bands/artists in 3 days. I was exhausted and dirty at the end of everyday. Coachella is not really my thing and the lineup this year was less than thrilling. However, the best part about festivals is seeing people that you don’t really know and being pleasantly surprised them! I had a few stand outs…
Auschwitz
I want to start by saying that I will be describing an experience from a tour I took backed up with internet research to fact check. I’m also aware that people who actually experienced this are relatives of the survivors and those lost and may potentially read this. I want to think of this as…

From there it evolved into a form of social commentary and cultural expression especially during the height of…
An Ecuadorian Wedding
My time in Quito was spent on vacation and not really being a tourist. Two of my wonderful friends got married and I was there to experience it. They put on quite a set of events for us. The first night was a girls night/boys night where we were driven around in chivas and had an…
Galapagos!!
The few days I spent in the Galapagos were absolutely amazing! The Galapagos is made up of a series of islands and I was staying on the island of Santa Cruz which has the largest population of any of the islands and is still pretty small. I went on two different snorkeling excursions and a…
Valparaíso through grafitti
Valparaíso is considered the cultural capital of Chile. One step on the street and you immediately see the vibrant colors of houses plastered with street art. Many street artists are formally trained in some sort of art degree and can skip the phases of tagging and bombing and go straight to street art. Valparíso is known…
