actually, the best thing you could have given her is a lifetime of adventures
When I set out to move to the Marshall Islands (accepting the job nearly a year ago now), my plan was to live here for two years teaching, as my contract stated. I had no plans to leave early or find a new job for next year, as I am…

tuna boats
I started to think about writing about this amazing helicopter ride I went on only a few afternoons ago. How cool it was to see the island I am living on from above. As an amateur photographer, I love any adventure that gives me the ability to capture beautiful scenery that I…

lyrics that sing to your traveling soul
I have always been a huge music buff. I may not be musically inclined, but in high school I was very often referred to as ‘the girl with the headphones on’. I’ve been to over 100 concerts in my life. Music festivals are one of my favourite places to be.…
