Hello All, It’s been several months since my last post and I wanted to let you know that I’m still here! Coming back from New Zealand was a pretty difficult for me. I came back and dropped right into a deep depression which culminated in me recognizing my anxiety, but thankfully I have a greatContinue reading “I’m Still Here!”

Nearly The End
We are nearing the end of our long adventure, just two full days left! The three of us are definitely feeling the last of our excited travel energy slip away as the days seem to drag by. We are done living out of backpacks, walking the long road into town from where the car isContinue reading “Nearly The End”
It’s a Dangerous Business Going Out Your Door
On Monday we ventured into the world of the Fiord Lands National Park. Our friend Jonny, who we’ve been staying with in Queenstown lent us his car, and we spent the nearly three hour drive gazing at the beautiful scenery and becoming increasingly grateful that we weren’t on a bus. The three of us pulledContinue reading “It’s a Dangerous Business Going Out Your Door”
Short Cut to What? Mushrooms!
We left Gisborne on Wednesday and after a 10 hour bus ride finally made it to Wellington. We managed to survive the trip with the help of lots of snacks (mostly Cadbury Oreo stuffed chocolate) and lots of sleep. We are lucky to have a friend who lives in the heart of Wellington so we’veContinue reading “Short Cut to What? Mushrooms!”
Hobbits? Four Hobbits!
Yesterday was a very special day for the three of us. Yesterday we fufilled a dream that has been with us since the Fellowship of the Ring came out in 2001. We went to Hobbiton! Tours from Rotorua leave several times a day so our host dropped us off in town around 8am where weContinue reading “Hobbits? Four Hobbits!”
I’m Going on an Adventure

My two travel partners and I have been planning since last summer and we cannot waitContinue reading “I’m Going on an Adventure”
Halloween and Lake Street Dive
Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all had a fantastic Halloween weekend like I did. My boyfriend came up from Davis, and a group of our friends dressed up as characters from Star Wars. In Ashland we have a traditional Halloween parade in which the entire town is dressed to the nines walking down theContinue reading “Halloween and Lake Street Dive”
The Mountains Are Calling
Today I am embarking on a three month adventure into the Trinity mountains in California. I got a job at Camp Unalayee, which is a camp for kids, ages 10-17, and encourages them to explore the outdoors. Starting today I’ll be out of the real world for most of the summer, coming back for aContinue reading “The Mountains Are Calling”
Mumford & Sons and Their Wilder Mind
There’s something about four lads from England with instruments in hand, and the knowledge of how to play them, that gets me all hot and bothered. The first British quartet to come into my life was The Beatles when I was about four years old. My dad had a poster of them in his officeContinue reading “Mumford & Sons and Their Wilder Mind”
A Hike to Hobart Bluff
I’m going to veer off from my usual blog posts today. I’m currently taking a History of the Pacific Northwest Wilderness class at Southern Oregon University and one of our assignments was to go explore a Wilderness area in either Oregon or Washington and make a blog post about our experience. This is my experienceContinue reading “A Hike to Hobart Bluff”
