There She Goes…

Before I recap today’s festivities, allow me to share some “Tips from a Traveler.” Pay attention kiddies, this may just help you out. Today’s installment is: Things to research before going to a foreign country: Exchange rate – is that beer going to cost you $10 USD or $100 USD. For reference, no beer should…… Continue reading Walking tours are good places to meet people

Well hello dear Blog Audience, you the Reader! Welcome back. As you can see, I’m posting which means….I’m back on my adventures!!! The 3 week hiatus was nice (a little too long and I recommend a shorter vacation from your vacation – your wallet will thank you). I have now landed in Sydney, Australia after…… Continue reading Toilets don’t flush counterclockwise…this disappoints me more than it should

Well ladies and gentlemen, we’ve reached the end of Amy’s Adventure Part 1. WOW, what an amazing time it has been! 13 countries, 22 cities, 14 plane rides, and a lot of memories. I am now in Lisbon and just enjoying the sun set and a cool breeze in the air. It’s definitely time for…… Continue reading 86 days of Adventure…time for a break

Last night I set my alarm for 7:30a. I think the last time I was awake that early was before I started my trip – or over 80 days ago. Now why would I be waking up so early on vacation and on a Saturday no less?? Well I procrastinated and this was the last…… Continue reading The Universe is quite funny sometimes

I awoke this morning feeling much more rested than I did a couple of days ago. But I’m still reeling (in a good way) from the fun night out in Sevilla with my fellow Californian, Angie, who just moved out of San Diego. My luck. This girl is cool and we’re both local SoCal so…… Continue reading I now know why “siestas” were created

Today marks the official last 7 days of My World Tour Part 1. I’m excited to be home for a bit and take a break from all the movement I’ve been doing. I think I hit 12 countries these past few months and something like 20 different cities. It’s been a whirlwind but this is…… Continue reading Officially 1 week left!

#sorrynotsorry to any French readers I may have (or had). And yes, I’m using a sample size of n=1 so it’s not totally fair of me but the flight from Valencia to Sevilla left me extremely annoyed. Today started off rough. I didn’t sleep much last night as I’ve been having really bad anxiety about…… Continue reading I hate French people…(and I’m back Sevilla!!)

Or as the Spanish say “mintió.” I know I said I was going to lay on the beach this entire week in Valencia but the day was going to be colder (77 degrees is cold for Europe given the recent heat wave), partly cloudy, and a 20% chance of rain. So without much thought put…… Continue reading I lied…

I left cold and dreary Amsterdam with a dreary cold. But I’m hoping the warmer weather and my “happy country” Spain (more specifically Valencia) will fix me right up. You know those places where you just feel “at home.” I have a few of those: my parents’ house, my house and Spain. I always feel…… Continue reading My heart is “home.”

Well friends, Karma is real. Let me back up the story just a bit and explain why. Last night at 9:15pm, a new roommate arrived. She had a lip ring and had an air about her that just screamed “cool girl.” She wanted to explore the city and find a certain coffee shop that doesn’t…… Continue reading Field trip to the Red Light District
