Technological challenges and life updates

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Emily — 1 Comment ↓

Apparently, I am more technologically challenged than I thought, as it seems you all randomly received an email from me this morning! I was doing a bit of updating on old posts yesterday and accidentally deleted one - my very first post from 2014 actually! When I ‘un-deleted’ it, apparently that meant you all got an email about it. So I figured, since I’ve been so terrible about updating this Continue reading Technological challenges and life updates→

Posted on October 8, 2016 by Emily — 4 Comments ↓

Marrakech. The city whose name I was never sure if it was spelled with a ‘C’ or ‘S’ (turns out, C=English spelling, S=French spelling). The city that is dusty, crowded, invasive, hectic, overwhelming, uncomfortable, confusing. AND FILLED WITH SO MUCH AWESOME. Initial Fears Initially, I’ll admit, I was scared about going to Morocco. I remember sitting in my hostel in Sevilla, Spain, conducting HOURS of research, trying to figure out Continue reading Tips for Surviving the (Awesome) Craziness of Marrakech, Morocco→

*NOTE: Alright alright, hold back your pitchforks. I know it’s been a while since I’ve updated this blog, but between crappy wifi in New Zealand that allowed for 1 picture to be uploaded every half hour (if I was lucky), and spending most of my time trying to move back to the US, it just wasn’t going to happen folks. But the updates should (I stress the should…I do have Continue reading Berlin for New Years - A Lesson in History and Fireworks→

Christmas in Prague - When Family Comes to Visit!

Posted on March 25, 2016 by Emily — No Comments ↓

While Christmas 2014 on Boracay Island in the Philippines left quite a bit to be desired, this past holiday season was made significantly more enjoyable by my family meeting me in Europe! Just two days after my exciting excursion to Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany, I hopped on an early morning bus from Munich to Prague. Getting started that early is never fun, but the sunrise that morning sure made up for Continue reading Christmas in Prague - When Family Comes to Visit!→

What Does 365 Days of Travel Cost? Less Than $50/day.

Posted on March 18, 2016 by Emily — 1 Comment ↓

How much does a life of constant travel cost? It’s a fair question, as it’s a relatively curious and out of the box thing I’ve been doing over the past 18 months. If you’ve been following along with my ‘cost of travel’ posts over the last year and a half, you’ll know that I keep a pretty dang detailed record of how much I spend whilst traveling. Each month, I Continue reading What Does 365 Days of Travel Cost? Less Than $50/day.→

Camel Trekking in the Sahara Desert of Morocco

So we’re going to take a quick break from Europe for a moment (since I’m wayyy far behind on those posts), because I’ve been DYING to tell you all about a recent tour to the Sahara Desert that I took with Camel Trekking in Morocco! I went for the 3 day/2 night option, as I’d been told by many that it was just the right amount of days (2 days Continue reading Camel Trekking in the Sahara Desert of Morocco→

Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle (Sleeping Beauty’s Castle)

Posted on February 19, 2016 by Emily — 3 Comments ↓

Neuschwanstein Castle had been at the top of my Germany bucket list for quite some time, ever since I saw a photo of it somewhere in the depths of Instagram. When I found out that it was cheaper for me to fly from Barcelona to Munich, and then take a bus from Munich to Prague (to meet up with my family) than it was to fly directly from Barcelona to Continue reading Visiting Neuschwanstein Castle (Sleeping Beauty’s Castle)→
