One Day Itinerary for Larnaca, Cyprus

One of the biggest questions when considering a trip to Cyprus is, which is better: Larnaca or Paphos? While I was originally planning on heading to Paphos, a cheap flight deal from Italy led me to Larnaca instead. I unfortunately didn't spend any proper time in Paphos, outside of being stuck in rush hour traffic…

Know Before You Go: Road Tripping Cyprus

Cyprus was one of those destinations that lived on my "I want to go there" list for a long time, but with little idea of what to see, how to get around, and where to start. Early 2026 would have it that my original plans to go to Tunisia were scratched due to a cancelled…

How do you get to Antarctica?

Antarctica lives on many travelers' bucket lists, but how exactly do you get there? If you've done any research on the seventh continent, you likely know that you have to cross the Drake Passage, but even before that, where do you fly into? How do you even get to your ship to get to the…

One Day Itinerary for Bangkok, Thailand

I had a full circle moment when I returned to Thailand, my first ever solo international trip that I took back in 2016. Nearly ten years and 90+ countries later, I stepped foot in Bangkok, once again. My first trip to Thailand was a clueless meandering one. I simply booked a roundtrip out of…

A Woman’s Place: The Untold History of the Women of Antarctica

“Good morning, we are on unexplored uncharted waters, looking for a place to adventure. This is an adventure for all of us as we go where we’ve never been before.” That was my wakeup call over the intercom by Michael Jackson on my second official day in Antarctica on my trip with National Geographic-Lindblad Expeditions.…

The Seychelles

One-Day Itinerary for Mahé, Seychelles

The Seychelles was one of those destinations that lived on my beach bucket list for the longest time. When I finally had the opportunity to travel there after road tripping Madagascar, it felt like the tropical respite would be the antidote to the adventure that came with my time in Madagascar. While many choose to…

How to Kill Time When Your Dog is Dying

I'm standing in the parking lot of Wegmans in Ithaca, New York. I open the backdoor of my parents' banged up white Caddy, the car I use every time I'm upstate. Before I set my grocery stash in the back of the car, I reach into the hot plastic bag to shred a piece of…

Albania

One-Day Itinerary for Tirana, Albania

I'm currently living in Naples, Italy, but am only permitted to stay in the allotted time of a tourist visa. Already seeking a way to legally extend my time here, I found a great hack: leave the Schengen area as much as possible to continuously add days to my time here. This hack didn't come…
