Auschwitz, Death Anxiety, and 2020
“History doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes” – Mark Twain It's embarrassing to say, considering this challenge is about backpacking to a relaxing dream destination, but in 2021, I will be visiting Auschwitz. Yes, the Auschwitz. Final destination of every Holocaust movie. A nightmare for survivors. Perhaps the literal definition of hell on earth.

Escape. Top Story - December 2020.
Surroundings The wind whispering, the night sky filled with stars, and the sound of being alone. In Hagerstown, Maryland, these three things were hard to come by. They were especially difficult to enjoy as the sounds of my latest arguments with my stepmother echoed in my ear. Her constant criticism affected me greatly, and being outside subsided my insecurities she’d placed in my head. I would feel complete as I gazed out into the night, at least for a little while.

The story of Vejle-Vandel Jernbaneselskab
On 10 September 1897, the first train ran from Vejle Nordbanegård to Vandel with passengers, mail and goods. Prior to the opening, many negotiations had taken place regarding the construction of a railway from Vandel to Vejle, and by law of 8 May 1894 it was possible to obtain a legal basis for the construction of a railway from Vejle through Vejleådalen to Vandel in Randbøl parish, and under 6 November 1894, an exclusive license was issued to Vejle-Vandel Jernbaneselskab. The construction work was handed over to contractor Lauritz Petersen, who began the work in 1895. The work was carried out with engineer Rischel as control engineer.

Oh La La: Paris & Film
I lived in Paris for a year, and I'm dying to go back. When I lived there in 2018, I was an au pair and an English teacher. I didn't even live in Paris proper.

Not to mention I was broke, and Paris can be très cher.

The Ghost Ship of Kentucky
Petersburg, Kentucky isn’t known for much. Aside from the divisive Creation Museum, “a cathedral of willingness ignorance” as one TripAdvisior reviewer wrote, it’s a quintessential small town. Well, it’s not even a town but an “incorporated community,” and there isn’t much drawing tourists here. Paranormal experts and lookie-loos alike put this community on their map because of a supposedly haunted abandoned ship run aground in a backwoods river. The ship blips through the history pages like a nautical Forrest Gump, hosting Edison, Madonna, and two presidents, in addition to helping the fight in both world wars.
