We have been officially on the road for one month as of today. I keep having to remind myself with all of the wonderful people we have met, breathtaking sights and the opportunities that have been presented…we still have the rest of the year to go! Check out our stats for the trip so far (as of […]

Dear Gili Air,
Dear Gili Air,

On the Edge of a 57 Story Building

Finding the Inspiration to Write

Q3: Would You Rather…
Would You Rather…Be painfully sunburnt or covered in itchy insect bites?
