Hello from the other side
Hi I’m back!
Funny that a quarantine is what got me back to blogging. My life has been crazy, the airline industry is collapsing over the travel bans and grad school is kicking my butt. I’ve been holed up at home, trying to not go to stir crazy and also sad that there is so much fear and misinformation out there.
I did get back from New Zealand right before the travel ban happened so I guess my…

Summer is Almost Over
Summer is Almost Over
Hi all, gosh it has been a while! This summer was a busy one for the books and I am happy that I had such a great time traveling. I can’t wait to delve into what I’ve been doing this past summer, but this post will just be an update about my life and what has been going the past few months.
First off, I just want to say thanks for your patience as I navigate this world of blogging and the ebbs…

Long Distance Friendships
I am currently in Minnesota right now as I write this blog post. I flew in for the weekend to see the band Parachute in concert. (Sorry mom it was over Mother’s Day weekend, hope you liked the bed sham I bought you!)
Being here brings back lots of nostalgic feelings of when I lived here and was able to hangout with these great people more frequently. It made me think about friendships, the…

Little Update
Hi friends!
It has been a while since I have updated you on my life so I thought I would give you a quick post. First off, I am back on reserve and man has that been tough. Reserve these past few months have been crazy. It feels like I am flying a summer schedule when it is technically low flying season. It has been a tough adjustment going back to reserve from having a line, but I have a few…

Things I did in Buenos Aires pt. 2
Wow okay sorry, this is a post is a long time coming. Life got in the way (look for my next blog post about my exciting life updates) and I took a while to get this blog post together so apologies about that! Alright here we go on part two!
Capitol Building
I toured the Capitol Building in Buenos Aires. I make a point to try and visit every capitol building if I can. This is a free tour that is…

Getting Around Argentina
Buenos Aires is a vast city that houses a lot of people. The last population consensus of 2010 stated there were 2 million people in Buenos Aires proper, but the metropolitan area around it houses up to 13 million (World Population Review). Needless to say, Buenos Aires is huge. In my previous post, I talked about how Buenos Aires is still a cash only city, and that…

Cash-Only Buenos Aires
So something that was a huge struggle for me was that Buenos Aires is still a cash heavy society. This makes it difficult for a few reasons, one reason is because many US Banks do not carry, nor will order Argentinian Pesos for you (full disclaimer the only bank I asked was WellsFargo, but as this is a huge bank I’m assuming if they do not order Pesos for you, other banks won’t). The other…

Buenos Aires Overview
So I just wrote a blog post about how I like to plan a trip but I will admit, I did very little planning for this trip. I did maybe 20 minutes of research and that was about it. I had zero expectations and honestly didn’t know what to expect. The reason I took this trip was because my friend from college had decided to backpack Patagonia and was flying out of Buenos Aires after her trip. She…

Let's Plan a Trip!
Let’s Plan a Trip!
One of my favorite parts of going on a trip is to plan it. How I plan a trip usually depends on if I’m traveling with other people or if I’m going alone. If I’m traveling by myself, I often don’t do much planning. I’ll do a little research ahead of time of things I am interested in and would like to see, but I tend to just spend my trip wandering around and making decisions on a whim.
When I’m…

Monday Motivation
Last Monday I was definitely experiencing the Monday blues. Time seemed to be going by extra slow, I kept looking at my watch and only 2 minutes would have gone by. I was struggling and felt like it was the longest work day.
I worked three airport standby shifts in a row. For those who don’t know, airport standby is when we sit at the airport for 5 hours (that’s our shift time) and wait to…

Women's History Month
Women’s History Month
Happy last day of March!
Thanks for sticking it out with me, March was a one crazy month. I became lactose intolerant, I got sick for two weeks (just now rounding the corner) and I am in the process of moving out of my apartment. Needless to say, I’m glad that April will a low key chill month (hopefully).
March is National Women’s History Month and it is important to celebrate women (including…

LA Getaway
Thanks all for your patience while I worked through some things. I was definitely burnt out and needed a break, but I’m back and I feel great! Last weekend I went to LA to visit one of my best friends and go to Paleyfest. It was a small getaway trip but it was just what I needed.
Since Jessica moved to LA a few years ago, I’ve been going down to visit her every couple of months. This past weekend…

Hi friends!
It’s been about a week since I last posted and I know I haven’t been very good at posting these past few weeks. I had all these intentions after I came back from Argentina to have multiple blog posts about my trip, different advice and tips about Buenos Aires and I’ve hit a bit of a wall.
I’m in a bit of a mental slump where I’m not really motivated to blog. I know that’s not fair to…
