The first thing I did after getting to Switzerland, was go for a walk through the forest right next to the place that I was staying. There were so many trails! I didn't have a map with me, so I just went for it...going up and down whatever trail I wanted and not knowing exactly where I … Continue reading Get Lost

New Zealand ~ Lessons Learned
Welp today was quite interesting. I got my first taste of traveling alone and let's just say it didn't go quite as planned. Train to the airport at Sydney went well, but got there and tried to check in. Apparently you have to show proof of leaving the country, so I had to real quick buy … Continue reading New Zealand ~ Lessons Learned

The Adventures of Karkar Island ~ Papua New Guinea
The volcanic island of Karkar in Papua New Guinea is known as the "Island of No Return." After visiting there I can see why. It is absolutely beautiful, the people there are very friendly, and it contains a lot of history (as everywhere in PNG does.) We took a boat from the mainland to the island. It was a … Continue reading The Adventures of Karkar Island ~ Papua New Guinea
