When I road tripped Cyprus, the biggest motivation to do so was to visit Edro III Shipwreck. The abandoned ship is located on the west side of the island, only about 10 miles outside of Paphos, but usually a 30-45 minute drive because of traffic and road conditions. The shipwreck looked too cool of an…
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…
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…
Puglia is a southern Italian region that has garnered a lot of attention in recent years for good reason. She's dreamy. But while most people know to come here for the region's impeccable beaches, where many fail to do proper research is knowing what to eat.

When it comes to visiting the seventh continent, questions like how to get to Antarctica, what does one even do in Antarctica, and if the Drake Passage is really that bad, might all come to mind. But perhaps the most…
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…
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…
“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 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…
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…
