Things I've Kept: Funny Student Papers

By on April 9, 2010 in Soviet Travel, Things I've Kept, Ukraine

I was sitting in my room in Ukraine when I started hearing my flatmate laughing pretty loudly. After it didn’t stop, I had to ask what was going on because who likes to be left out of a funny moment?

Things I've Kept: World Bags

By on October 18, 2009 in Things I've Kept

This is my world bag collection that I have still managed to carry around with me. The large yellow bag was given to me by the Korean woman I stayed with in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

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… Read more resulted in a seriously awkward situation (and they had to go).
As you can tell, I’m a pretty accurate shot… kind of a natural. Since I

Things I've Kept: World Gifts

By on October 7, 2009 in Things I've Kept

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 new year) with… Read more
