Just me myself and I traveling
Always make the best of things Having family living in different states has always made me excited to go visit them. Traveling is one of my favorite things to do but It can be hard waiting on someone else to go with you. In 2019 I planned a trip to visit a family member living in Orlando. I had never been to Disney World or Universal before and I was so excited to finally have that chance. Until I got the text that my family member planned a trip the same exact week I would be there and yes they knew the dates I would be there way in advance. Obviously, I was terribly upset, but I always look on the positive side of things. I was going to Disney world and Universal!! I decided rather than cancel this amazing trip I had planned I would go anyways. Besides, it was my birthday, I was going to make a dream come true of swimming with the dolphins on my actual birthday, so what if I was alone. My family members loss then.

Good Samaritans, even on a different continent
So, I'm going to start this off by saying this happened quite a few years ago. There might be a few missing details or gaps because of my own terrible memory, but this experience impacted my life and just goes to show how good humans can be, even if you can't understand each other's languages.

Caledonia Calling
Caledonia Calling When the wall went up, it was more than just biscuit tin scenery that was lost. Of course we missed the fields, the rivers, the forests; the fits of heather blushing over hillsides like a five o’clock shadow, cast on the face of God himself. But other things would be missed too, and with far less blasphemy.

My Favorite Place in the World
Imagine waking up in the morning and looking out your window. Instead of seeing what you normally see, you see a beautiful view of a college campus. A college campus set in the mountains? Is that possible? It is — there are quite a few of them in the US, but in this case, the one I’m talking about is Appalachian State University in Boone, NC. It may not be Boone’s biggest attraction, but it’s a good place to start if you want to make Boone your home.

S'more Please
Who’s to say a barn owl isn’t a s’more? Imagine silence. A silence that only comes in the wildlands right before the world starts to wake up. The down in your sleeping bag provides tremendous warmth and protection from the outside elements, but it’s not enough to protect you from your own bladder. With a sigh you slide out of your cocoon and reach for the zipper on your tent, but a rustle on the outside stops you.
