If I could pack up and leave for vacation, right now, I would one hundred percent be going to a Disney theme park.

Jagaban JoyPublished 13 days ago in WanderThe Study Abroad
In 2016, I had never left the country. I was entering my second year at Eastern Michigan University after taking a four-year break from college and had only spent time in the United States on short trips.

Staying with Maya and her mother Elvan, my sister-in-law, I begin to see the city anew through their eyes, and to understand why James Baldwin said it "revived" him.

The Tower of London
When the lockdown restrictions were lifted, I remember walking outside of Tower London and absorbing the once-in-a-lifetime surreal feeling. I will never forget what I saw. The place was virtually empty, with an eerie silence all around. I remember talking to one of the Beefeaters standing behind the Gate, and he told me they would be opening when they got the go-ahead from the officials.
