student travel
For students studying abroad or racking up miles on a summer break, there are many student-friendly cities that you simply must visit.
Part XI : Memorable Moments that Could Only Happen in Plattsburgh
So one year after break, Tim and Steve got back to Plattsburgh first, and since there wasn’t anyone to commiserate with yet, some kind of playdate seemed in order. Pointing their antennas up, the duo decided to embark on a jaunt to Willsboro and allay the loneliness. That’s where Tony’s family owned the North Inn.

Lira From Heaven
In 1993 I spent a semester with a rude band of American students, criss-crossing Europe sampling medieval and Renaissance art. I knew it was a once in a lifetime opportunity so I was already feeling lucky that afternoon in late October when our tour bus deposited us in front of our hotel in the Italian ski resort town of Cortina d’ Ampezzo. The village was nestled in the folds of the foothills of the Alps, the sight of which inspired an old-style Bavarian wanderlust within five of us; Randy, Kipp, Matt, Martin, and me. We quickly found our rooms, dropped off our luggage, regrouped outside the hotel, fueled our lungs with alpine air, and headed for the proverbial hills.

Part IX : Memorable Moments that Could Only Happen in Plattsburgh
The last we left him, poor Tim had hitched a ride from Albany to Plattsburgh. Matt, Steve and Andy had enough of his unseemly antics, and when they got to Albany, they dumped him on me. At the time of Part VIII’s writing, I did not have the gory details on what actually got Tim expelled from his ride. But a little email back and forth from the boys and here it is. Enjoy and please don’t judge.

A study abroad like no other.
My passion for traveling. Traveling has been a passion since I was a little kid. I have always wanted to go see everywhere and do everything this world has to offer. There are so many incredible countries and cities in this world. I was determined to see them all.

Travelin to the UK with AIST
In the summer of 2017, I decided to go overseas to play lacrosse in the UK. My college coach at UDC had brought it up that she had coached with this program a summer or two ago, and it was a lifetime experience. I thought, oh shit, I should explore and travel outside of the states and play the sport I love. The only thing for me was, jeez, the price, but I’ll try to make it and pay for it to have a trip of a lifetime.

Freckles Abroad
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas everywhere I go! Especially on campus. Not the white kind, though, as it rarely snows here. One of my friends told me that “a lot” of snow here is about an inch of accumulation. That made me laugh, thinking back to winters in New Hampshire.

My Powerful Memory of Disturbing the Gods
Recently I was asked to recount a memorable experience in my life. I have lived a full life, with a lot of exciting memories, so it was a challenge to choose a single one. When I recalled the time I disturbed the gods, I knew it was a perfect tale.

The Gin Diaries #2
This piece originally ran in the Long Beach State Union Weekly in the fall of 2016, and is authored and owned by me. I’ve been in Coventry for two days. On this, the morning of my second full day in England I’d say I have three feelings about it. The first being cold; the second being hung-over; the third being my girl being hung-over and grouchy beside me.
