Costa Rican Adventure
In June of 2013 for a wonderful 10 days in Costa Rica. This wonderful Latin American Country is located between Nicaragua and Panama.

Milan Italy
Earlier this year I took a trip to see one of my absolute best friend and sister and practically my sister in Italy. We hosted her a few years ago as a foreign exchange student, and as many people who host exchange students understand, they become your family too. You magically gain another child, a sibling, and a whole extended family. I don’t even know where to begin with this trip, so best to start at the beginning right? The flight I took only had one layover, in New York, and was about a total (to include the lay over) 17 hours. The flight was really comfortable surprisingly and had…
An adventurous life awaits, it all starts with a simple trip.
