Summer in the time of COVID-19
Sandwiched by many pairs of shoulders from every direction, I stood there slack-jawed, squinting heavenward at God’s cloud-like beard. It was my first time at the Sistine Chapel, and in Rome, in general. The air buzzed with an exhilarating collective energy — with whispered conversations and long, drawn-out gasps. The space was overwhelming not only in its infinite grandeur, but also in the exhausting number of upward-gazing visitors that came to see it. This is a place I’d dreamt of seeing for so long, and I’d been waiting breathlessly for this trip after spending the majority of the year juggling numerous freelance gigs to save up for it.

Top 5 Famous trails in India
Trekking in a tremendous nation like India can be mysterious. You can stroll through cold deserts and tropical downpour woods, climb huge Himalayan pinnacles or run down far-reaching moving glades, all while never crossing a national fringe.

You've Gotta Break The Rules To Get To Heaven
12th February 2017 was undoubtedly one of the most incredible days of my life. In 2017 I was living in Australia. I had seen outrageously cheap flights from Sydney to Hawaii. I’d done a fair bit of solo travelling before, and to be honest I always had mixed feelings about it, sometimes its fun, but if you don’t befriend the right people it can get pretty lonely and you find yourself not doing all that much. This trip was only for a week and a half though so I figured it’d be fine.

Patagonia Pandemic
As the day drew closer to our trip the news regarding COVID 19 was just numbers and statistics that were chasing us. I didn’t know yet to run or hide, I just knew there were people who it had caught up with and they didn’t live where I did. I was thankful for that, and I made the decision to continue on with a much-anticipated adventure that I had made financial, physical and mental preparations for. My sister, my niece, and my friend Brittany would be backpacking in remote areas of Patagonia for 7 days. We would be sleeping in tents, zip lining across canyons and rivers, climbing mountains, and traversing glaciers. I thought we would go home and go back to our normal routines and lives.

Huge Fishing Day At Mirror Lake
I'm so glad spring is finally here. For a long time in northern New Hampshire, winter clung on like a fully-embedded tick. Now, it seems the weather has broken for the better. Buds are on the bushes and trees and the threat of snow is thankfully behind us. The better weather brought about the opportunity for doing some fishing, so my brother in-law took out the john boat and we made our way to Mirror Lake to do some fishing.
