Travel Update – October 23rd

November 5, 2017November 6, 2017Leave a comment

I'm totally lying on these dates. But man, fuck it. It happens. This is my official Venice update. Are you ready?? I am. I spent 2 nights in a hostel outside of Venice, and one full day in the city. Which, I feel like, was enough. There's not an awful lot to actually do in … Continue reading Travel Update – October 23rd

Travel Update! – October 17th

(I understand that it is obviously not October 17th anymore, and I apologize, but I forgot to post it after I wrote it on the 17th). Alrighty. it has been a while indeed. I think the last time we talked, I filled you in on Rome. Or maybe I had just gotten to rome and was filling you … Continue reading Travel Update! – October 17th

It's been a while, hasn't it. I wonder if you missed me. I missed me too. I write to you from a pub in a hostel in a little alleyway in Rome. I made it all the way to Italy! Aren't you so proud.. I am. I'm incredibly proud actually. I sit in this bar, … Continue reading Travel Update! – October 11th

Travel Update! – October 6th

October 6th, 2017 Today I sit in the Paris metro station. I spent the last 8 hours on an uncomfortable bus from Amsterdam. And what a ride that was too. Just kiddinggg. The bus was fine. I'm pretty sure I didn't talk to a single person the whole time. As I type this, I'm on … Continue reading Travel Update! – October 6th

Travel Update! – October 5th

October 5th, 2017 Alright. It's time for an update. Today, I am in Amsterdam. I'm afraid I have an entire country to catch you up on. Or 2, I suppose. I believe I left off on the flight from Calgary to London. And what an adventure London was. Let me give you a little backstory. … Continue reading Travel Update! – October 5th

September 27th, 2017  - Written from the airspace above Canada on the way to London And thus begins the first chapter (or rather, a follow-up chapter) of my travels across the globe. On Saturday, September 23rd, I booked a ticket for the ferry. You can imagine moms surprise when I told … Continue reading Traveling Update! – September 27th

Guess Who Went to Solo-Traveling?

June 27, 2017June 27, 2017Leave a comment

It's me. I went to solo-traveling. Aren't you so proud. I was so proud. Look at me go! But first, a little backstory... I spent about 6 weeks bouncing between family and along the Irish countryside before I started feeling a little antsy. I felt as if I needed to see more… to do more… … Continue reading Guess Who Went to Solo-Traveling?

Ireland. Part 2 of 2.

Alright. We made it to the next part in record time. Aren't you so proud? So, Cork county covers much of the southwest of Ireland. My father grew up in this little village off of Cork Harbour named Ringaskiddy. I know I said that the people changed, but this town definitely stood still. If not … Continue reading Ireland. Part 2 of 2.

Ireland. Part 1 of 2.

June 24, 2017June 26, 20174 Comments

Well, I guess I should tell you where I’ve been for the last 4 months. It’s really been a while since I checked in. And maybe I should do it a bit more often, but people are inherently flawed, aren’t they? And I guess my one true flaw is the inability to maintain a regular … Continue reading Ireland. Part 1 of 2.

I Am A Disgrace (An Update)

June 23, 2017June 26, 2017Leave a comment

I admit it. I am the worst blogger in blogging history. I didn't even drop my June playlist of the month (mostly because I got too busy to make one) and I have been completely garbage at updating you guys on my trip that I got back from almost 2 months ago!! I know, I … Continue reading I Am A Disgrace (An Update)

Swipe left and right and left again for wacky wavey inflatable tube man
I just turned in a 17 page portfolio where the main color scheme was a series of yellows and I’m pretty sure my prof hates me now, but oh well🤷🏼‍♀️
I feel pretentious. I’m not though, really. I’m terrified. I’m quaking in my boots every day, worried someone will recognize me or ask me what I’m doing with my life, as if I should have an answer I’m proud of. And maybe people don’t actually see me as pretentious. Or maybe they do. All these carefully crafted images and stories and grandiose adventures that I present really do little to help my case though. This is the highlight reel. Not the shitty shit that makes me fall apart. Remember what this whole platform allows us to do. We build up the stories and adventures and fake laughs and snobbery until the people we meet on the street don’t recognize as human beings but as caricatures, come to life. - What do you think?
And thus begins my profession figure skating career. ⛸💃 They thought I couldn’t do it, but out here proving the haters wrong.💪🏻 Peep me in Beijing, 2022👏🏻 🎉
