• Back to America

    I’ve always known I’ve loved the good ole USA, but I didn’t realize how much I would miss it while I was gone. While I was gone, however, I learned so many things. Costa Rica is such a beautiful place, and the things I saw there can’t be matched anywhere in the States. After being…

  • Half-way point

    It’s day ten! And it’s safe to say I’m having a great time in Costa Rica. We’ve been to San Jose, Ensenada, Monteverde, and now Heliconias.

    Living life on the road! I’m currently on my way to Ireland. We’ve been traveling non-stop from Italy to France to England to Scotland and now our last stop Ireland.

    It was only been about a day since I have been home. Actually I really haven’t been to my real home yet. I took a shuttle from Atlanta back to Athens and that’s where I will be for about a week until I finally get to go back to Louisiana and see my family. So…
