WESTWARD BOUND
As a married woman, it’s not often that I consider taking a solo trip over a certain distance. But, as individuals we could all use that solo quality time to self-reflect. It is great time to appreciate your own company, increase your spirituality (if you’re a spiritual person) and connect to our Creator.

Elspeth
Sometimes, when we least expect it, the Universe tosses us a glimpse of the destiny we will face. There are things that happen in life that allow us to share experiences with those who we had no idea we would meet. I actually believe that people are here to help each other get through certain trials. I'm not sure if I was helping her, or she was aiding me, but I know that we got past a rough time together, and that this story still touches me in ways I can never disremember.

The Gin Diaries #1
The Gin Diaries #1 originally ran in CSULB's Long Beach Union Weekly It could only be described as too easy to get shipped off like this, I am not even sure it was my own idea anymore. I was a kid raised in Fresno, and I worked my ass off to get to Long Beach. I hadn’t even been there a year when a cute little local girl convinced me to take her to Europe.

The Delights Of The British W C
My college roommate, Carl and I were taking the big cultural leap that all young people seem to benefit from, travel.

5 Major Differences Between British & American Culture
We may speak the same tongue oceans apart, but believe me, there are just some things that don't match when it comes to crossing British and American culture. And that can often surprise your typical Brit or American tourist when it comes to soaring to the neighbouring country for the first time. Like me, a Brit, for example. I, for one, didn't know that almost everywhere in the US requires tipping — even for a coffee. Like, there is a tax on practically EVERYTHING, and that was a total culture shift for me. Plus, it meant that every time I ventured somewhere, I'd have to calculate the additional costs that we don't really have back in the UK. But that doesn't mean we're slightly more protective over our money or anything. It just means that we're fitted with different mindsets depending on where we've grown up. And that's okay.

Germany
When I first arrived in Germany the country was still divided between East and West. I arrived in Frankfurt as required and on time. When I arrived in Frankfurt it was my first time being away from the home shores of the United States and it was intimidating to me. I had never been this far from Roanoke, VA. I was just eighteen and scared to death to experience anything that adventurous my first night so I stayed in the barracks. We were processed into the European theater and I was surprised by how quick the Army had this done.
