Day five was another amazing day! I took the bus and subway to Sinsa station to meet up with a friend in Garosugil which is a fancy area of Seoul with lots of beautiful restaurants and cafe's. I told her that I'd been wanting to try Mandu which is Korean style dumplings so…

Korea Day 4: Locked Out
Day four was a weird day. It involved me going for a walk just to get my self out of the house and looking for a cafe to study in for a while. I was successful at both of those things, and I very much enjoyed my coffee, bagel, and people watching outside the window.…
Korea Days 2 & 3: Gangnam Adventure
Day 2: On day two I didn't leave my friend's apartment. I wrote a little bit about that in my last post, which you can read here. I was jet lagged and unsure of the neighborhood I was in and that combination resulted in me hanging out with my friends cat Fufu all day. Also it was…
The Virtue of Doing Things
I'm counting yesterday as a loss. I arrived in Korea 3 days ago. The first day was spent easily in the company of a good friend whose place I'll be at saying at for a while. She showed me around Samcheongdong, and we went to a cafe where she likes to study. It was easy…
Journey to Korea
I'm writing this post from a cafe in Seoul! After months and months of preparations and saying goodbye to loved ones, I am finally here! My trip began in Miami after a perfectly lovely evening in Coral Gables with my parents. We ate dinner in a cozy French restaurant and walked around to shop a…
The Calm Before the Storm
I'm writing this in the coffee shop where I always study. I woke up this morning in my own bed, I ate breakfast while my dog sat on the floor next to me hoping that I'd drop something, and I'm going meet up with some friends during their lunch break. It's almost like nothing is happening. But…
Trip to Memphis (Alternatively: the time I went to BBQ heaven and ate only Asian food)
This past weekend I went to visit my roommate in Tennessee. My flight to Korea is now only eight days away so I'm trying as hard as possible so see as many people as possible before I leave. And in case any one is confused as to how my "roommate" lives in Tennessee and I live…
Beginning of an EPIK Adventure: Moving to Daejeon!
Hello friends and family! I have some exciting news and Korea updates! But for those of you who aren't caught up, or are confused about what I'm doing with my life currently (don't worry most people I know fall into that category), let's begin at the beginning. Rewind to Thanksgiving of last year. That was…

Details of Paris
It's easy to take the same pictures that everyone else takes, especially when you travel. They're great pictures, that's why everyone takes them. But sometimes being caught up in the grandeur of a place makes you miss out on the details. I know that I do. But I think that I used to be better. Looking back…
Puerto Maldonado – Weekend in the Amazon
I wasn't originally supposed to go on this trip. But at the very last minute I suddenly realized that I'd be an idiot to go to Peru and NOT see the Amazon. It was not at all what I expected it to be. It was much more subdued, more powerful, and significantly less scary than it's made…
