A National Treasure: Washington D.C.The mention of a trip to Washington D.C. may seem like the beginning of a dull monologue filled with visits to dusty museums and over-sized monuments. However, nothing could be further from the truth. I recently vacationed in our nation’s capital with my family and discovered that the city is... Category: Vacation |

Nebraska? More Like Africa, On a breezy night in Huntington Beach, California, I stood outside the car I was going to be held captive in for the next 26 hours of my life. The sea breeze always felt nice against my face and I was already dreading leaving it behind. I climbed into the back seat of the car with my zebra... Category: Vacation |

I had gone on this trip to learn about my culture and understand about the place where I was born. I moved to the United States at a young age and wanted to regain what I had... Category: Vacation |

The Best Trip of My LifeIn November of 2010 I visited New York City. That’s right; I went north (from sunny, warm Las Vegas) in the winter. It sounds like a crazy thing to do, but it was worth every one of my frozen fingers and toes. If you can help it though, you would probably enjoy your trip to... Category: Vacation |

Through Patience Comes AccomplishmentThe altitude difference was definitely getting to me! The thin attenuated air was definitely becoming difficult to cope with, as I was a flatlander from down south in the States, and was surprised by the intense physical exercise that skiing in Salt Lake City, Nevada had presented to me. As I... Category: Vacation |

Philosophical in FranceI’ve never felt small before. Despite being five feet tall and seventeen, living in the third largest state in the US, dwelling on a planet that is so often criticized as being insignificant in the vastness of the universe, I’ve never felt dwarfed absolutely by the beauty of something....

Snorkeling in the ReefJuly 24, 2009 started bright and early. That Friday morning, my family and I woke up just in time to watch the sun rise in Cairns, Queensland, Australia. It resembled sunset, only the sun was moving in the opposite direction: upward, marking the beginning of a new day. Looking out from the hotel... Category: Vacation |
