Florida vs California. What I miss and what I don't.
I've lived in Florida for nearly twenty years, and it was starting to feel like I'd never leave. However, that changed earlier this year, and I now find myself on the opposite coast of the USA. Are there some things that I miss in Florida? Sure. However, there are plenty of things that I don't, and IMO, good riddance!

Be Careful What You Wish for — Do You Really Want a Guide for Your Next Mayan Temple?
At this point in the trip, we were no strangers to Mayan temples. We’d seen some incredible feats of ancient artwork, engineering, and architecture in Mexico and Belize. Every other temple we had visited so far, we had explored independently, learning from the information dotted about and what was written in our guidebooks.

An invitation to venture Beyond the Border...
Why listen to a story? You know the answer right away. Because you want to know what happens next — because you want to be swept away — because you want to be taken out of yourself to other worlds, mythical and true. Stories connect us to our deepest selves; at heart, we all know that. It’s why you’re reading this here on Vocal, after all: Vocal is a home for storytelling.

However, as the least athletic girl in the world, Olympia proved that I could get excited about sports and humbled me.

Tulip Town
I challenged myself upon arriving to Washington State that every week I was going to do something. Whether that being big or small, I just did not want to stay home. After working with my therapist, we developed healthy coping mechanisms for helping me manage my mental health issues, because staying at home and sleeping in bed all day is not an option.

The Spear and the Watch
Unexpected grab outta nowhere! The man nearly bowled me over in his enthusiasm. He grabbed my wrist and twisted my arm to an awkward angle. Since I’d been standing like a dorky penguin with hands clasped behind my back and peering downward in a Snoopyish vulture stance, knocking me over would have been easy for anyone. However, this man loomed high above me with his at least six-foot seven frame. Though he was lanky like virtually all of the Nilotic peoples he was all muscle, distilled by a childlike expression of awe and delight across his outrageously handsome face.
