In my last post about Budapest, Ray and I had fallen in love with the beauty of this city, just look at these pictures of Budapest as the sun went down the night before. Day two we wanted to explore more of the Buda side, specifically the Castle district up on the hill behind where …
Summer adventure 2016- Budapest (part one)
On July 2nd, after having spent the day in Dubai, Ray and I headed to the airport to start our journey to our next destination: Budapest, Hungary. Look how steamy it was in the plane, when the outside heat of Dubai mixed with the air-conditioning of the airplane. We arrived to the Budapest airport at …
Dubai- summer 2016 day 6&7 (7/1-2/16)
My last two days in the United Arab Emirates Ray and I went to Dubai. Luckily one of Ray’s friends, who is from the UAE, Khalid, was gracious enough to drive us to Dubai and stay with us for the two days, so we made the drive which is about an hour away from Abu Dhabi. …
Abu Dhabi 6/30/16 (Day five)
Day five I slept late because we were out so late the night before, but Ray had planned for us a desert safari. We got picked up at 5 in a Land Rover type jeep that then drove us out about 45 minutes away from central Abu Dhabi. Of course I know that Abu Dhabi …
Abu Dhabi 6/29/16 (day 4)
On my fourth day in Abu Dhabi we returned to the Emirates Palace hotel. The day before we were not allowed in because ray was in shorts (and they were nice shorts), though we saw other people wearing gym shorts even, but apparently they were guests (so it’s true rich people can get away with …
Abu Dhabi 6/27-28/16 (day two & three)
My second day in Abu Dhabi was a bit tougher for me because of a serious case of jet lag. It is 8 hours ahead here, and I was texting with some friends while I was trying to fall asleep and THEY were going to bed back home while I was still awake here. When …
Summer Adventure 2016 – Abu Dhabi Day One
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 …
