To be honest, I was more than a little nervous when the first newsletter went out. How was everyone going to react? I really had no idea, but it appears that my initial idea of breaking down "travel undies" won them over! Just take a look at the response from Twitter: @ShannonRTW Loved your la ...

Since I'm currently not traveling (and currently not giving away fantastic dream vacations) like some other travel bloggers out there, I've decided to give back to the travel world through my words. What this means for you is that I've written some junk, and now I want you to read it. I know; ...

I have to apologize again for the late post. I was tagged a while ago now by Michael of The Mobile Lawyer blog to make a post on all the avoidable mistakes I've made in order to help others out in their travels. Well, the reason it took me so long is because I just couldn't think of much! For t ...

I found another place to hang out online and it's called HubPages. Honestly, I like to write. I enjoy it, it calms me and it keeps my thoughts occupied instead of thinking about the countless amounts of unknowns present in my life. I feel as though I have a lot of useful information that I can di ...

I shot some hardcore, badass guns while in Vilnius, Lithuana last year. Besides the memories, photos and videos, I managed to keep my targets, which is a good thing because keeping the bullet shells resulted in a seriously awkward situation (and they had to go). As you can tell, I'm a pretty ...

Of course there are only a few gifts here, but I love them and will keep them forever. The majority in the photo are actually gifts I received from students in Ukraine (aren't they sweet?!!). For New Year, my student - Marina - gave me the fridge magnet with the cow on it (the symbol for the n ...

I'm not a typical souvenir buyer when I travel, but somehow I find myself with weird collections of this-and-thats stuffed in my backpack. In the mix is a lovely little collection of notes and coins from: New Zealand, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine, Poland, Hungary, Poland and England. And, ...
