Today, I’m going to keep it light with y’all and talk to y’all about the highlight of my entire trip to the Philippines: canyoneering to Kawasan Falls, Philippines. I think it’s only right to start off by saying that I cannot swim. Went to swimming classes, was too afraid to let go of the wall….

Is your holiday contributing to animal abuse?
You’re casually strolling through your instagram feed filled with travel bloggers and that’s when you found your newest travel inspiration. A tall, tanned, and beautiful female having the time of her life in Thailand, caught mid-laugh while riding an elephant. You think to yourself “wow that looks like a lot of fun” and it probably…
Is your holiday unethical?
I think it is safe to say that I’ve traveled both the rough routes and in luxury, through rich westernized counties and through rural villages. In doing so, I’ve been able to witness all types of tourist and all types of tourism traps. While I’ll always encourage all kinds of travel, I must also advocate…
Where To Go in Berlin and Tips on Getting Around
As I’ve stated in my other bog post about Berlin (this one), I absolutely love the city. There’s so much life in it, you can’t help but get absorbed and feel enriched. And while getting around Berlin is quite easy (though, of course, I struggled a bit when I first arrived), knowing where to go…
My Favorite and Most Used Travel Apps
Thank God we live in the 21th century, where the entire world is practically smushed into the size of my iPhone 6.

Of course, it’s always a good idea…
The Art of Packing A Little for a Big Trip
I recently wrote a post about my packing list that mainly focused on what clothes to bring to Europe, but not actually how to pack it. Organizing a backpack is much harder than it looks (for me at least). I’ve tried putting all of my things in zip-lock bags and in no bags. But, recently…

You’ve already decided that you want to be as cheap as possible. After all, if you can save money then why not? Well, that’s the ideal mindset, at least. But, there are a couple of things that I would be willing to put in the extra $$ while traveling. Yes, the cheaper options are initially…
Broke Backpacking: Planning a Spontaneous Trip Overseas
Backpacking Europe is both a fun and daunting task. Almost on a whim, my roommate and I decided that we wanted to spend our summer backpacking throughout Europe since we [1] just graduated university and [2] were about to embark on real-world, adult stuff. Within a week we had our tickets purchased and we started…
