Day 77: Some of My Favorite Types of Holidays

By on March 19, 2011 in Language Learning, Random

Long or short, a holiday is a holiday, right? Well, yes and no.

Day 54: A Sunrise Over Mona Vale Beach, Australia

By on February 24, 2011 in Australia

It’s hard to imagine what sunsets were like before… back in the Midwest of the USA. Did we even have them? Maybe it’s the different atmospheres, or the coastal location, that makes them… Read more

… Read moreAustralia is a pretty random place. It has some of the harshest and most extreme environments – even a landscape in part that looks like Mars – and yet so many people call it home.

Can you all help a girl out? I feel like I’m always applying for random stuff and just never getting it – but this time is different! I want to win the Best Backpacking Job in Australia, so I submitted a video explaining why I’d be so great (in my opinion).

If I made a list of the far-flung places I have now traveled to, it would probably contain the following:
