March 1st, 2020 Today was the day I was setting out to see the giant storm surge barrier that I had learned about in my climate change/sea level rise based course a few months ago! I had traveled to Rotterdam the day before on the train, it only took about two hours to get there …
Marketplace
Dutch Foods! For lunch one day, I tried this - bitterballen - at the recommendation of one of my friends that I met in Dublin. [Bitterballen are a Dutch meat-based snack, made by making a very thick stew thickened with roux and beef stock and generously loaded with meat, refrigerating the stew until it firms, …
The Amsterdam Experience
** Sorry for delayed updates on the end of my journey in Europe due to Covid-19. I am going to be finishing up my blog posts on those last few weeks in the next few days since the dust has settled since my rushed return to the United States. **February 25th, 2020I arrived in The …
Ireland: A Tale of Two Countries
I arrived in Belfast from Scotland with the situation that has been the most out of my comfort zone for this trip. I arrived on land with no place to stay at! I had decided two days before to come to Belfast and had not set up an Airbnb or hostel before I arrived. I …
Walkability and Sail-ability
I have been amazed by the ability I have to walk basically anywhere I want to. I have been tracking on my phone health app and am averaging 16,000 steps a day (hence why I keep splurging on chocolate and coffees). From February 17th to February 19th I was traveling in Glasgow, Scotland. I was …
(Solo) Travel

To London and Beyond
I have embarked on a new adventure through Europe after graduating from UNC in December. I had looked for some jobs and internships before graduation but one day got an email from Scott's Cheap Flights that there were round trip flights from Atlanta to London for $350 so I jumped on the opportunity to create …
Summer Break
So this past week was like a bit of summer break before getting to work. Carlos and his brother Isaac arrived on Monday and we headed out to La Loberia (pic above). It was really nice to head back there because one of my favorite pictures I have ever taken, (its the background wallpaper for …
6 – 16 – 2019
Today is the first day that I did not feel nauseous all day since arriving to the Galapagos. As soon as I landed I was hit with stomach issues. I joked to one of my professors that I was having reverse altitude sickness. I still woke up today feeling nauseous but headed to the university …
Galapagos Pt 2
Since I completely dropped the ball on blogging last time I was here, (oops the last post was October 2017) I promised my parents I would be better about writing this time. Since that trip, I went to Argentina to see my awesome sister Guada, and also went back to Quito twice, including for the …
