The Last Days of Christopher McCandless: A Journey of no return
Christopher McCandless, a young man with a restless spirit and a deep yearning for adventure, set off on an odyssey into the Alaskan wilderness in 1992. His quest for a life of simplicity and self-reliance ended in tragedy, but his story, immortalized in Jon Krakauer's book "Into the Wild" and its film adaptation, continues to resonate deeply with those who dream of escaping the confines of modern society to seek a more authentic existence.

The Ancestral Trail
It all started with a phone call from one of our relatives in Norway inviting us to visit them in 2014. It ended up expanding to both sides of my husband's families located in Bergen and the other in Trondheim with a stay in between at the family home located centrally in the western fjords.

Altruism, Avidity, and Aesthetics
AAA Motivations: 1. Altruism- to live by helping others, even at the cost of self. This is like the lighthouse bucket, because the lighthouse is constantly helping to lead others on their path.

One of the World’s Narrowest Streets is Located in Vrbnik
Fairy tale. This is the first word that comes to mind as you approach the enchanting town of Vrbnik on Krk Island,Croatia. Nestled on the landward side, the town is surrounded by vineyards where the indigenous Vrbnik Žlahtina wine variety is cultivated. The name Žlahtina derives from the Slavic adjective “žlahten,” meaning noble. The natural beauty of this landscape is complemented by the sky-blue sea, whose gentle murmur can be heard beneath the 50-meter high rock upon which Vrbnik is perched.

Tripping Through Cinematic Universes: From 'Star Wars' To 'Harry Potter' To 'Game Of Thrones'
Star Wars, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones - just but three of my favorite things in the world. Joy is also having a BFF who love these pop culture phenomena as much as I do.

Surprise Thanksgiving
I don’t know if this is my best trip ever, but it is definitely up there in my top ten list. And while it was a very short trip, I did luckily remember to take a few photos. The trip in question took place last year on Thanksgiving.

The Second Visit. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge.
PART III Andrea invited me to visit her again, our "do-over." So much had happened in the two years since I saw her in person. A month after I returned from the Oxford visit, I rushed to my mother's bedside to be with her in her final weeks of life. It was an opportunity to share words, space, love, and companionship with her one last time, one I would have missed had I not chosen to cut my trip short because of the pandemic.

The Midnight Madness. Content Warning.
Amidst the quiet hum of the small town of Willow Creek, nestled beneath a canopy of ancient trees, there stood a carnival—an ephemeral spectacle that materialized only under the veil of night. Within its labyrinthine confines, where the scent of cotton candy mingled with the faint whispers of the wind, there lay a sinister secret—a ghost train that traversed the darkness, its passengers destined for a journey beyond the realms of the living.

Italy: My Solo Adventure In Florence
Italy had been on my list forever. It was like that crush you can’t help but daydream about. So, last year in May, I finally decided that it was time to turn those daydreams into reality and I booked my first solo trip to Italy. There were going to be a lot of firsts including this one being my first time to a new country altogether by myself. I had already booked my tickets to Milan while I was on a trip to Wales during Easter. So, that meant that I couldn’t back out now. I wasn’t going to anyway because I was too excited to go there!

Wisconsin
On a nice warm summer day, it’s close to 80s, with a breeze but it’s the most comfortable place to be on Earth. Traveling to Luxemburg, WI, has been a family tradition since I was a small child, and I couldn’t have asked for a more rewarding trip.

The First Visit
READ PART II HERE: It was 2020–nearly a year after my trip to China and my first introduction to Andrea. We stayed in contact with each other long after the program ended and had gone our separate ways. We spoke every day and made plans to visit each other. In January, I finally bought my ticket. In February, I left for London again, this time alone. I would hop on a train from there and meet Andrea in Oxford, where she had just started her Master's program. I was to stay with her in the dorms for three weeks and then travel to her home in Norway together and spend a month there.
