A Love Letter To Paris and Everything In Between
There are very few moments in my life when I am truly speechless — you can ask anyone who knows me to confirm that. I was born to yap, but right now, I am at a loss for words. I truly don’t know if I can put into words what the past year of my…

A Tribute To The Best And Worst Year Of My Life
Twenty-Twenty Two. Quite an eventful year. I’ve been putting this off for quite some time. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t want to talk about it or because I have too much to say. Whatever it is, I’ve finally mustered up to do it. Growing up, I loved watching “Dancing With The Stars”.…

A Love Letter To A Chapter Ending
Finally – a moment to breathe and process what just happened. It’s crazy how fast time flies. The fact that I just spent four and a half months of my life traveling and living in a foreign country is mind-boggling and I will never fully process that.

Bucket List: Venice, Italy
When I was 13 years old, I sat down and did what I know best – make a list. This list, though, was a big one. I made my bucket list. Of course, it was a very rough draft because the only thing I know at 13 years old is what I see on Pinterest…

Introducing My Study Abroad Chapter
I’ve been staring at a blank page for weeks now, not because I don’t have much to write about. It’s quite the opposite, I have too much to write about. Ever since the second my British Airways plane touched Italian ground, my life has been going at what feels like 1,000 MPH but honestly, when…
