After a long day of traveling from Bangalore to Coorg, it was time for our next wedding ceremony. This event was more of a reception with a lot of dancing and food, and it’s where us foreigners finally got to perform the dance we’d been learning and practicing every night! I’m excited and nervous for that,…

Today I’m going to show you a picture. This is a picture I don’t show many people, because well, it’s not my best. But first, the story behind this picture. On our last day in Amritsar, we had plans to get up before the sun to see sunrise in the Golden Temple. We went to…

Day 2 of our 3 days in Amritsar begins leisurely. We have nowhere to be until the afternoon when we’ll check out the Wagah Border Closing ceremony on the border with Pakistan. I had hoped to do a day trip to Lahore in Pakistan as it’s generally considered safe for tourists, but Maggie said she…

One of the places I ended up unexpectedly enjoying quite a bit in India was Amritsar. There’s so much more to do here than we first realized, and it’s truly an enjoyable place to spend a couple days. We flew up early in the morning with nowhere planned to stay. I had hoped to stay in…

Oh my gosh I’m finally writing about my trip to India. I’ve been trying to write this post (and all the others to come) almost since I got back at the end of 2012, but there’s so much to share that I’ve been a bit overwhelmed. But I’m really excited to tell you all about…

As much as I love Boston, it might be the charming little New England towns that surround it that I love the most. There’s just so much history here! Have I sad that before? Lexington and Concord are most famous for the 17 mile Paul Revere ride that he set out on to warn the…

Waaaaay back at the beginning of the year, when my friend Jenny first suggested buying tickets to the Women’s World Cup, we had no way of knowing who would be in the final. We just knew that it would be fun to attend the match no matter who was there, and of course there was…

This year for the 4th of July, my friends Keith, Lara and I went up to my uncles condo in Ferndale on our way to Vancouver for the Women’s World Cup Final. We spend most of the day hanging out on the deck in the sun, listening to the massive booms going off every hour….

Now that I’ve finished telling you everything I can about Tanzania and the summer is coming to an end, it seems like a good time to share the rest of my summer adventures. It’s been a busy few months and I can’t believe it’s almost fall already. To be honest, I’m really glad. It’s been the…
