Right Now

All I really want to do right now is travel...

We watched Motorcycle Diaries a few nights ago, now I'm ready to travel through South America.

P.S. My cousin biked around South America a few years ago, you can read about his adventures here.

Weekend Update: By Katie

This weekend I was struck with pink eye!

 Only in one eye originally, but this morning I awoke to discover the pink had moseyed on over to the other eye.

Meeh:(

But that's okay,

 as a result of my social quarantine, I've had the time to waste a good amount of time on the world wide web.

These are my findings:

1. The Adele station on pandora is my soul mate.

2. This is one of the ugliest hair styles I have ever seen, my apologies to anyone sporting deconstructed braids, I hope the brain damage you are suffering from isn't permanent.

3. I'm pretty sure I want to take a road trip through Iceland for my honeymoon.

That's about it....

I mean, I could tell you way to much about some people's lives (via facebook),

Or summarize a season of 30 Rock for you.

But I'm pretty sure you do not want to hear about any of that so.... adios!

Bulking Up Over Spring Break

Emily and I took a trip to Nashville for our spring break, the weather was kind of gloomy but we had an awesome time hanging out with our family and friends there.

We didn't get a lot of pictures, but if we had documented out trip, I'm pretty sure most of our photos would have been of us eating.

We had amazing burgers and fried pickles at Burger Up.

Enjoyed coffee with a hint of banana at The Frothy Monkey.

Emily tried a paleta for the first time.

Tried barbeque tacos at Taco Mamacita...Yum!

Ate at our dad's favorite place to dine in Nashville, The Copper Kettle.

Went to the Whiskey Kitchen, apparently that's where all the famous people eat.

Grabbed cupcakes at Gigi's.

And topped it all off with some of Jeni's ice cream.

Amid all that eating we also managed to cook a couple of times and tried grilled pb&j for the first time (soooooo good!).

Basically I chubbed up hard core for spring break...and loved every minute of it!

One Month Ago...

I was here.

And I cannot wait to to back!

I Want To Move Here

For Serious.

("Here" is Iceland, picture via google)

It's Officially Official!

I'm going to Nicaragua!

That's right people, This December (after this wonderful semester ends *note the sarcasm*),  I'm getting on a plane and going to Central America!

Now for details.

My good friend Kelly and her fiance Evan have spent a lot (as in seasons) of time in Nicaragua doing mission work. They are going back for a few weeks, at the end of the year and asked me to join them.

I am super excited and pretty nervous at the same time, I've never really been outside the U.S., so this will be a totally new experience.

Which is good, new experiences are what shape us, if we never tried new things, everything would be boring, it's still a little scary though.

But I'm mostly super excited!

Did you know?

In less than one week Emily and I will be here!

One of my best buds/traveling companion/tennis partner, Rebecca, moved to Palo Alto to go to grad school this fall.

And next week we're going to visit her!

I am superly-super excited!

I've been missing Rebecca like crazy and I'm pretty much in love with the bay area.

I really love traveling, so I've been extremely grateful for the opportunities I have (and continue to have) to visit other parts of the world. This year has been especially adventure filled (as far as travels go), which is totally cool by me. I just hope this trend continues. By the time I graduate, I'll be a regular world wanderer!

Hello everyone! I'm back!

I took a break from the blog because I didn't feel like I had much to say, and because things have been crazy busy this summer.

I still don't feel like I have much to say, but I'm going to persevere!

For now here are some photos of my recent road trip...enjoy.

You may be able to tell that we went to Washington DC and New York, but we also visited Philadelphia  and Baltimore.

It was pretty shweet, I came back feeling very much like a seasoned traveler.
