Lucerne, Switzerland

Lucerne, Switzerland

Wish I could have stayed longer than just one day,

but it was peacefull nonetheless.

Rain has that effect on cities.

Kandern, Germany

For a portion of this past summer,

my family and I volunteered at an English Camp in Kandern, Germany.

Not only was it the highlight of my summer,

but it was also THE best family bonding experience in my life.

Kandern, Germany

The campers and staff of EC4 2010.

Simply the best :)

Little brother.

View from one of the lounge windows.

Our fantastisch translator.

Taking all the campers to the pool was quite the train of Euro vans.

The men of my life; my little brothers.

Just impossible to capture a perfect day in a photograph.

Lovely sister.

View from the kitchen window.

I could not ask for better sibilings :).

Taking a break from the travels and fashion and chaos of life.

I'm finally home.

Home is where the heart is, and that is with my family.

This post is dedicated to my them in thanks and love.

I'm back, and better than before :)

The year I was 21;

I was diagnosed with Celiacs.

Traveled to 8 countries.

Started 2 new careers.

Switched schools.

Switched majors.

Switched states.

Broke up.

And started all over.

On August 20th I turned 22.

I can only imagine what this year will hold,

and I'm excited to find out.

Ready to start a new journey as a new 22 year old :).

Niagara

Went to Canada to visit my family.

We were actually in the country for a total of 30 hours.

By far shortest Canadian trip ever.

But we drove home via Niagara Falls.

If you've never been, go.

It's quite a sight.

Island Escape

Just returned from an eight day vaca on Daufuski Island
(accross from Hilton Head, South Carolina).

Needless to say, it was paradise.

In with the new.

Took me 3 days straight, but I finally finished my new room :)

Out with the old.

I loved my room.

But I am now switching schools, states, and lifestyles.

Room had never been this messy before, but since I was leaving, there was no point to cleaning it.

Surrounded by inspirations.

And goodbye :).

Take me for a ride

 

 I've got the travel bug. 

Who'd like to take me for a ride on a big jet plane?
Or simply ride with me.
:) 

There's a whole world that needs to be discovered.
Let's go...

The inspiration bridge for the feature film "I Robot".

This was spring of 2008,

yet it feels like last month.

Oh, how I wish I could escape back into the bliss of traveling.

Fears seem to vanish when exploring.
