How to Hold Someone Hostage in Cuba
To Whom It May Concern: When traveling I could make better decisions – ones that include actually doing some basic research on a country before I hop on a plan to visit a new culture. However, on this trip, I was looking for an adventure and some time to unplug from the world to do some thinking. It was time to make a pivotal life decision – take a great job in New York City or buy a one-way ticket to Europe and see what happens. Spoiler alert… I haven’t had a job for almost six months! So I bought a ticket to Cuba and two days later I would pack up my hammock, yoga mat, and suitcase to relax on the beach sipping mojitos.

France Roadtrip Nightmare
To Whom It May Concern: While traveling, it is common for one to experience a brief moment of “Oh my gosh this is my life!” For me, this usually happens during a private wine tasting in Portugal or watching the Eifel Tower twinkle at night while gnawing on a baguette. But there are few moments, even in life, where that glimpse of awe turns into a short reality. This moment happened for the six days I spent living out of a campervan through France. It was an accumulation of driving through the French Alps, hiking to waterfalls and rivers, picking wildflowers in a field, laying on the beach in Nice, eating fresh cherries we picked from a tree and the list goes on. Van life is what everyone made it cracked out to be – truly a dream.
