I love traveling. Every summer, I try to make sure that I leave the country and have some exciting adventures in the country as well. Many of my adventures have been with students, showing them the world; it’s definitely one of the passions of my life. And a lot of those travels have involved my dear …
European Odyssey- Day Two: Paris, Louvre, Eiffel Tower
Day two of my 40 student teacher-led travels and I woke up bright in early in Paris. No, not actually Paris, I was staying in a suburb of Paris. Well, actually calling it a suburb is a bit of a stretch as well, unless having a 90 commute counts as a suburb, and living in …
Europeen Odyssey- Paris
Day OneWe departed from Atlanta, Georgia at 6pm EST which meant this was going to be one of the roughest flights I’d ever gone on due to the fact that we would arrive in Paris, France at 6am (France time)- which was 12:00am EST; in addition, the moment we landed we would be GO all …
A Day in Washington D.C.
Over Memorial Day weekend, my boyfriend JJs cousin was getting married just outside of DC, so for a couple months we’ve been planning on spending the long weekend in DC. JJ drove up Thursday with his mom, but I hitched a ride with his awesome cousins on Friday and arrived late Friday evening after a …
The Hot Guy
So in continuing with my online dating escapades I again have to reiterate that my favorite thing about the website Tinder (the only online site I’ve been using throughout this time of trying to “get back out there”) is that both parties involved have to “like” each other’s profiles (which are basically just pictures) in …
-Delete-
After my last post, I recalled that my date with Rod wasn’t actually my first date after my break-up, it was the second one. The first one occurred when I really, truly wasn’t ready to start dating, but I decided to go because, well, why not? I didn’t want to sit around and wait for …
Re-entering the Dating Pool
Well, I’m baaaacccckkk! So first let me apologize for my disappearance. It was an amazing year with an adorable, sweet, loving guy…well up until the point when I realized that he wasn’t actually any of those things and was actually just selfish and cheap, but you’ll have that, right? So Katie still hasn’t been caught, …
Australian Adventure- Day 4 & 5
Day Four– This morning we left Sydney to head north, towards the home stay portion of our trip abroad. It was a long day on the bus, but we were making good time and before lunch we decided to stop at a park and play some get-to-know-you games. Sounds like a good idea right? I …
Australian Adventure- Day 3
Today I discovered my love of Australian surfing….men. Australian surfers are all I expected them to be: tall, thin, tanned, shaggy hair, and let’s not forget the accent. Our surfing expedition took place on the famous (at least in Australia) Bondi Beach. We headed there on the bus amongst blue skies and hopeful hearts that …
Australian Adventure- Day 1-2
For the last two summers, I’ve had the fortune of traveling the world with students from my area of Ohio. Last year I traveled to 6 countries in Europe (which I had done three times before with students from the schools at which I taught), and this summer I am traveling to Australia! There were …
