Beyond Words. Runner-up in Travel Snaps Challenge.
It was about halfway into my seven-week study abroad in rural Kenya that I realized I had not journaled a single time throughout the experience thus far. But even as I sat down that very evening, determined to commit some vital memories and reflections to my journal, I knew I wouldn't make much headway; there was a part of me that was opposed to trying to record this particular journey there. I wanted it to remain separate, unique, untouched by my 'ordinary' life back in upstate New York. In the end, I came away with not even one whole pageful of words.

The Rise and Fall of Six Flags America
The first time I went to Six Flags was when I was 13, me and my siblings we were in Summer Camp in 2009. We go to pools every Friday and field trips like for instance, Washington Mystics WNBA game which was our first field trip. It was the last field trip before the end of summer camp. We went to the Six Flags in Bowie and we had the most upmost fun going fun rides including the roller coasters (mind you it’s my first time riding roller coasters at the time) after we rode on the rides including the water parks. My favorite ride at Six Flags was the Drop Zone and the Hurricane Harbor where the sharp waves come up and down and it became my all time favorite.

Spring Break (In Summer)
It’s been a while since I’ve published on here, and as bills continue to rise I was considering reverting back to the free version, but I would miss the community, so have decided not to. I must get my money’s worth however, and write something!

Emphasizing The Whoosh; a March Perspective
Good afternoon, Vocal Media community and welcome to my first Monday huddle of March! Sorry I missed you last week but I couldn't capture my intended photographs to my liking which are relevant to my story. As an avid birder, I often capture their flight patterns on film, but for this particular prompt, the whoosh, I found my task a bit tricky, especially with the speed of the implied word.

The Ridiculously Cute Squirrels of the Taj Mahal
There are a lot of rules about what you can and can't do and bring in to the Taj Mahal, but nature won't be governed. While there, I saw a cat (a surprisingly rare sight in Agra, compared to Mumbai - but maybe I just wasn't there long enough), a dog, several pink-bummed monkeys and hundreds of these tiny, pretty squirrels.

My Conversations with Eva Péron
I laid the LP on the turntable and dropped the needle. The familiar scratch of the vinyl disc hit my ears before the mastery of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s first bars filled the air. The hairs on my arms stood on end as the death of María Eva Duarte de Perón was announced in a cinema in Buenos Aires. Operatic voices rang out with Requiem for Evita, their intensity rising as the seconds ticked by.

First Impressions of El Salvador
We weren’t originally even planning to go to El Salvador! We had popped it aside in our minds into the category of somewhat scary/sketchy places to avoid. That was until we met people who’d been, and couldn’t stop talking about how lovely a place it was and how safe they felt there.
