Freckles Abroad
Johnny Cash and I finally have something in common. After several days in self-isolation, I found myself watching the cars go by outside the gate of Old Court courtyard from the hall window and wondering, will I ever be free again? It really brought home “Folsom Prison Blues”. I spent a lot of time fluctuating between reading Two Towers, reading ahead of classes, writing, watching television, and playing games on my phone. My body became so annoyed at the sitting position, that I spent a few hours dancing around my room to a Spotify playlist. Even with all these activities to keep me busy, the cabin fever was creeping into my soul.

The Year That Changed Me
As a soul that craves adventure and exploration, it was a no-brainer that I’d find myself living in a different country at least once in my lifetime.

Why everyone should take at least one solo trip in their life.
I should start off by saying, all my life I have always been too scared, or too worried to do anything out of my comfort zone. I have always been terrified of heights, I had never been on a plane... but have always been terrified of the thought of it. I found it hard to do anything alone and especially wanted my family with me wherever I went.

A Spiritual Experience in the Lost City of Pompeii
Pompeii Archaeological Ruins Pompeii… It took me a while to write about Pompeii. The Pompeii Archaeological Ruins is on the west coast of Italy overlooking the bay and the city of Naples. There was a time when Pompeii attracted affluent people and vacationers to the area, becoming one of the most desirable places for the distinguished and blue collared. Lined with beautiful houses, villas, and shops until that fateful night when Mount Vesuvius, the most dangerous volcano in the world, erupted. It was 79 A.D. History says that the blast was so intense that people could see it even if they were hundreds of miles away. Ash and lava swallowed everything surrounding it—including the city of Pompeii burying about 11,000 residents under 13 to 20ft of volcanic ash.

I’m either going to get mugged here or invited to dinner, I thought as the guy grabbed my arm and pulled me down the narrow market alley. It turned out to be neither, but his intentions were friendly.
