Wow at first I still couldn’t believe that not only did I travel out of the US for the first time, but I’m in Venice Italy. At first, when I arrived I knew the hard part should be over once I find my luggage, but unfortunately, once I found my luggage and...

The first impression I had of Cambodia was what I encountered immediately upon exiting the airport in Phnom Penh – the heat. It was nearly 2AM, and it was still well over 80 degrees with high humidity. Within Phnom Penh, the streets are swarming with motorbikes,...

There’s 365 days in a year, but this one might as well have been a leap year for me. Flying westward from the US to Cambodia, a day is lost in the process. This is but one realization of many that don’t hit you until you’re traveling abroad. Prior to this trip, I knew...

Now that I’m back home from my trip to Cambodia, I can’t believe that it actually happened. Even with a packed 11 day itinerary, it never ceases to amaze me how the days can feel so slow and crammed with different experiences, yet the weeks I was there fly by. I...

Today is my travel day and it has started off with a huge BANG. First, my flight gets cancelled and I have to rebook. Second, it is Friday the 13th so what else could go wrong? I now get into Stockholm much later than I previously was and I am not very happy about it,...
