On an adventure, together
“The poetry of Earth is never dead.” a Quote from On the Grasshopper and Cricket by John Keats. This quote sums up my personal experience at the Majdanek concentration camp. When I first found out we were going to the camp my head immediately went to my first experience with World War ll. In fourth…
When in Berlin, you have to learn about the Berlin wall, and you know that we did just that. On our second day in Berlin, we went on a free tour that led us to one of the last remaining sections of the wall. The wall was surprisingly skinny and not that impressive. It amazed…
Now I know that we were in Vietnam a while ago, but it still deserves a blog post. Immediately after we got off the plane, it was cold. We had just spent the last five months in hot weather with the occasional cold day or week, but this was a whole new cold we haven’t…
My only request for this adventure was to spend my birthday on a beach because I have a December birthday, so it’s always cold. On December 22nd, 2018 this goal was accomplished. We spent three days on the other side of the Bali island and in the midst of those days, I turned 14. We…
Ok, I’m going to start by saying in Singapore, everyone is kind, and everything is unbelievably clean! We arrived in Singapore around 9:00 at night, and as soon as we left the airport and got on the metro, you could already tell how clean Singapore is. If you were caught eating or drinking on the…
After a busy travel month in October, we settled down in Spain. Sant Pol de Mar is a small right on the coast. The beach is right outside the front door and down a few steps. It’s great! One particular person in the family (mom) has an obsession over sea glass. Sea glass is glass…
The day began with a wake-up time of 5:40 am. We had only stayed in Torre Annunziata, Itlay for two days, so that meant we were eating whatever we had left in the house. (I ended up with a banana and a few crackers.) The train system from Naples to Sorrento, the one we took,…
Our time in France is almost up. We have around seven days left, and after spending a month living and learning the life of the French people, we’re all pretty sad to leave. France is completely different from life in Woodland Park, CO. The other day my mom and I were walking to the grocery…
When it comes to hiking with my dad, you can usually expect to hike straight up a mountain, and this hike was no different! We started the hike around 10:00 in the morning so it wouldn’t get too hot. In the beginning, we kept running into these people with the cutest dog ever; she was…
After months and months of planning, we’ve made it. As soon as we jumped off the plane, there was an overwhelming waft of heat. Unlike Colorado, Sibiu is super humid and hot 24/7. BLEH, NOT FUN. We then got through customs and made through the short, 5-minute bus ride, we head to the apartment. The…
