The Urban Spectacle
Plaza Catalunya is the symbol of commercialism in Barcelona. The cramped local spots that characterize other parts of the city were absent. Instead of Spanish and Catalan storefronts, it's home to some of the biggest brands in the world: Zara, Louis Vuitton, McDonald’s. Here, not only could you get by on English, but it was the language of choice.

The Many Facets Of Ireland
One of my fondest traveling memories was my visit to Ireland. We spent ten days traveling throughout the Emerald Isle visiting as many counties and attractions as we could. We started off and ended our trip in Dublin. Dublin is a city like no other I have ever visited. The flavor of a bustling metropolis coupled with Irish brogues and friendliness beyond the realms of a city I am used to living in. The residents were always helpful and guided you through the days which were sometimes confusing when trying to find a place, driving on the other side of the road, and trying to understand how much money you were spending. After landing we spent our first day wandering the main strip and checking out some fun pubs. This is where I started collecting beer coasters of beers made in different parts of Ireland. My favorite by far was The Galway Hooker. On the first day we also decided to tour the Jameson Factory, which was very informative and where I left with my new favorite drink, Jamie and Ginger. Basically, it is Jameson, ginger ale and lime juice. I love the way they give you the tiny bottle of ginger ale on the side. I actually took a few home for a souvenir.

3 Short Hikes in Chester, Vermont
I have lived in the small town of Chester, Vermont on and off for 20 years now. I have enjoyed walking on the trails within the town limits for a good share of those years. At first there was only one trail my family and I went on, the trail behind the local high school. But about 10 years ago or so the town made a new trail called the Lost Mine Trail, so we started hiking there as well. Then, about 3 years ago, another new trail was made, called Butternut Hill Trail, which we also checked out and now enjoy.

Fremantle
From being the first sttled area in Western Australia to being the primary hub of Bars that flock 40-60 year olds that desperatlly want to feel young again to Cafe's and Restaurants that beleive they have a reasonable justification to charge an arm and leg due to "culture". Surrounded by the engulfing swan river filled with cruise ships docking the harbours every single day sending an influx of immigrants and tourists. Not saying that's a bad thing entirely, i understand the purpose and the economic turnover for Freo but the attitudes of immigrants can be quite obnoxious depending where they're from and is clear as day.

A Travel Guide to Places You’ll Probably Never Want to Visit
Visiting tourist attractions like the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate bridge or the Washington Monument is lame. Those are for amateurs. Everyone travels there. They are also upbeat and happy destinations. Why would you go mainstream and travel there too? For your reading pleasure, I have compiled a list of some off-the-beaten track tourist destinations that are sure to be fantastic conversation starters and probably won’t be overly cheerful.

How Coronavirus Shaped My Perspective as a Traveler
2020 was going to be my year. After a rough (and wonderful--there were some amazing highs and lows) 2019, I was going to get my suitcase out from the closet and get back to traveling again. I had spent way too much time focusing on someone else’s vision rather than my own, and I was looking to clear my heart and my mind by traveling to some new and familiar places. First, I was going to head to Iceland and then the United Arab Emirates, and I couldn’t wait to do some traveling.

By the Waters of Seville
After I’d turned in my application to study in Seville, Spain during the spring of my sophomore year, I became less and less sure that I wanted to go. I lived in the Language House that fall and coming home to my roommates at the end of a long day almost felt like coming home to family. I wondered how I’d gotten so lucky with the rooming assignment. Our neighbors would drop by our apartment unannounced sometimes and we could do the same and it was never weird. I’d also finally gotten used to working at my school's newspaper and had started to make friends on staff.
