29) Prince Edward Island (June 11-12)
Prince Edward Island (known as PEI) is the smallest of Canada’s ten provinces. This island off of New Brunswick is only reachable by ferry or the Confederation Bridge. With my arrival time up in the air, I decided it would be easiest to take the bridge. This 8 mile bridge was certainly an interesting way…

28) Quebec City, CA (June 9 – 10)
Quebec City (that’s keh-bec for any of you non-French) is a beautiful city on the St. Lawrence River in the Quebec province of Canada. Walking into Old Quebec feels like walking into another time in the heart of Europe. The small, cobblestone streets, the cafes on the corners, and the Citadel at the top of…

27) Burlington, VT (June 7 – 9)
I got into Burlington, Vermont on Friday evening (June 7th) and was astounded by the punch that such a tiny city could pack. Even with less than a population of 45,000 people (without the college), the downtown was a-buzz with activity: people, music, restaurants. After about 20 minutes of searching, I finally found a parking…

26) Ottawa – The Roadtrip Continued
On this whirlwind roadtrip lasting over 50 days, I was able to visit the beautiful capital of Canada: Ottawa. I didn’t really have any idea what to expect, but was completely blown away by the city. Every turn brought something new: great architecture, fantastic views, and all in as walkable a city as you could…

24) Toronto: Fast Walking through the 6
Toronto, Ontario is one of those cities that I had always wanted to visit. The combination of the kindness of the Canadian people, pictures of the city, and people I know that have visited made me really want to go explore this truly global place. As luck would have it, I had been planning a…

22) It’s a Small World, After All
Being one person in a sea of over 7 billion, it’s very easy to feel as important as a single plankton in the vast ocean. This can be somewhat true, as the population continues to grow. The amazing thing is that you are much more connected than you may think. Travel is one of the…

21) New Orleans Trip – 2017 New Year’s Eve
New Orleans is an amazing, bustling city like no other. The European influence, along with a Cajun zest makes the culture its very own. There is a dichotomy of the laid-back atmosphere mixed with a willingness to party for any and every reason. I think this might be part of the allure that draws so…

19) The Dominican Republic
Sometimes when you set out to help others, you in turn see many positive changes in yourself. In a place unlike any other I have ever been, I definitely found this to be true. The summer before my senior year of high school, I was looking for something to do. After discussing with my mom…

18) Wizarding World of Harry Potter
I would assume that most readers have already put this together, but I’m a nerd! That term applies for a plethora of reasons, but one of those is definitely for my love for all things Harry Potter! I have gone through each of the books at least 10 times (listening on tape so I can…

17) Airport Sleeping
As much as I love travel, it’s not always easy, or for that matter, enjoyable! Last May, as a graduation present from college, my parents took me on a European Cruise from Venice to four different Greek locations. It was probably the most amazing trip I have ever been on. And while I could talk…
