While walking along one of the many beautiful beaches of Bali, breathing in the salty air and feeling the sun warmm my skin, I realized that this time last week, I was arriving in Bali, tired, curious, and full of both exctitment and nervousness. [Read more…] about OMG…I’m going to Bali!
Travel
Visiting Vancouver
I had the pleasure of spending my last week in the beautiful west coast of Canada, in Vancouver. Although I was there for work, I had a little bit of time to take in the sights and sounds around me, and of course, enjoy some of the amazing food that the city has to offer.

Flashback Friday: Ireland
Ireland. The land of 4-leaf clovers, Guinness, and leprechauns. Ryan and I arrived in Northern Ireland after exploring London, and a bit of Scotland. We took the ferry over from a small town on the Scottish coast called Stranhar, making our way over to the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland. Prior to traveling Ireland, I had basically no concept of the brash history of the country. I had no idea that Northern Ireland is still separate from the rest of Ireland, going as far as having a different passport and using different money. [Read more…] about Flashback Friday: Ireland
Exploring Jasper
Instead of spending our last 2 days off at home, Ryan and I decided to take advantage of what may be the last of the warm weather, and take a road trip to Jasper. Nestled in the heart of the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Jasper seemed like the perfect mountain town for a road trip getaway. [Read more…] about Exploring Jasper

We had spent a lot of time in big cities, so it was nice to slow it down and get back to nature. [Read more…] about Switzerland: Chocolate & Mountains
Thailand & the Thai Islands
Thailand, known as the Land of Smiles, was somewhere that I wanted to go for a long time. It was the one place that I had really heard about before embarking on our SE Asia adventure, and perhaps the driving force for going to Asia. We began our SE Asia adventure in Bangkok, and I think it is safe to say that between being jet lagged and overwhelmed, we were extremely out of our comfort zones.
