What exactly is Tahiti?

When I was in the seventh grade, we had to do a presentation on a place we would like to visit someday. I remember googling the furthest most beautiful place in the world (I guess I was always who I am!), and a magical place popped up called "Tahiti." I saw that it was French…

Mo’orea: Is It Possible On a Budget?

My round-the-world trip has officially begun, and what better place to start it than in the middle of absolutely nowhere on a beautiful island? I booked a one way to Pape'ete, French Polynesia from Newark, New Jersey on January 15th, 2019, and off I went. After a brutal long travel day and jumping through a few…

420 in Amsterdam with my best friend

Yes, yes, I know..I am the ~solo female travel expert~, but sometimes a little companionship doesn't hurt! My best friend of over ten years, Katie, had booked a flight to go to Amsterdam for 420. Now, I admittedly am not a huge pot smoker. I'm not against it and I've definitely hit a joint or two…

Germany

Berlin vs. Munich

Germany. It was never at the top of my bucket list but I decided to go on SkyScanner to see where would be cheap-ish to go in February, and based on my options, I went for a direct flight with Lufthansa into Berlin, and out of Munich. I scored the ticket for a little under…

Swimming with the Pigs

I had been scrolling instagram and seeing the various glorified photos of majestic pigs swimming in crystal clear waters. Can you even imagine anything so adorable? Well, I had my flight booked to The Bahamas and knew it was finally my turn to partake in swimming with these fat little creatures. I went on viator.com and…

Stockholm Gamla Stan

Thanks to Norwegian Airlines, on my way into Finland I scored a 9 hour layover in Oslo, Norway, and on my way out, I scored a 5 hour layover in Stockholm, Sweden! And thanks to Arlanda Express (the 20-minute train service from the airport into the city center), I was able to utilize my short…

Winter Wonderland in Rovaniemi, Finland

For anyone who loves Christmas as much as I do, Rovaniemi, Finland is an absolute MUST. Never heard of it? Do a quick Google; the first thing the internet will tell you about this gem of a city is it's Santa Claus's official hometown! Santa! The easiest way to get into Finland is through the capital,…

The Funky Food of Finland

Finland is not exactly known for its delectable cuisine. In fact, Italian Prime Minister Silvio Bersculoni complained that "The Finns don't even know what Parma ham is," and in July 2005 French President Jacques Chirac said, "After Finland, Britain is the country with the worst food." I was curious as to what I was in…

Belize

Creeper Alert

I headed to the isolated island of Caye Caulker, Belize in September 2016. In order to get to the island, you need to fly into Belize City (or get to Belize City), and take a 45-minute water taxi from the port. At the port, I got a few unwanted cat calls, stares, etc., but I brushed…

9 Hour Layover in Oslo

On my way to Finland I was lucky enough to snatch a flight on Norwegian Air with a 9-hour layover in Oslo. Anyone who is even slightly familiar with my travel style knows that my favorite thing EVER is to get a layover in a new city that's long enough to actually leave the airport.…
