The Zeus is Loose!. Top Story - May 2026.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5) — “Daddy Zeus is the original thirst trap” I took a little day trip down to Olympia’s Temple of Zeus to see what all the fuss is about. Phidias sculpted this towering diva out of ivory and gold. It’s giving opulence. And check out those abs!

Worth the Wait: Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. Top Story - March 2026.
Beach bumming in a small Caribbean beach town sounded like a perfect way to end our 6-month trip through Mexico and Central America. Or so we thought. The foul, fishy stench of rotten seaweed hit our nostrils as we stepped from the cramped bus and looked out at a rather depressing, empty, and underwhelming black sand beach. It was pouring with rain, and we had to quickly fish out our ponchos. We thought, this couldn’t be it, could it?

Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge. Top Story - December 2025.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

The Rise and Fall of Six Flags America . Top Story - November 2025.
The first time I went to Six Flags was when I was 13, me and my siblings we were in Summer Camp in 2009. We go to pools every Friday and field trips like for instance, Washington Mystics WNBA game which was our first field trip. It was the last field trip before the end of summer camp. We went to the Six Flags in Bowie and we had the most upmost fun going fun rides including the roller coasters (mind you it’s my first time riding roller coasters at the time) after we rode on the rides including the water parks. My favorite ride at Six Flags was the Drop Zone and the Hurricane Harbor where the sharp waves come up and down and it became my all time favorite.

Spring Break (In Summer). Top Story - July 2025.
It’s been a while since I’ve published on here, and as bills continue to rise I was considering reverting back to the free version, but I would miss the community, so have decided not to. I must get my money’s worth however, and write something!

Emphasizing The Whoosh; a March Perspective. Top Story - March 2025.
Good afternoon, Vocal Media community and welcome to my first Monday huddle of March! Sorry I missed you last week but I couldn't capture my intended photographs to my liking which are relevant to my story. As an avid birder, I often capture their flight patterns on film, but for this particular prompt, the whoosh, I found my task a bit tricky, especially with the speed of the implied word.

The Ridiculously Cute Squirrels of the Taj Mahal. Top Story - February 2025.
There are a lot of rules about what you can and can't do and bring in to the Taj Mahal, but nature won't be governed. While there, I saw a cat (a surprisingly rare sight in Agra, compared to Mumbai - but maybe I just wasn't there long enough), a dog, several pink-bummed monkeys and hundreds of these tiny, pretty squirrels.
