Exploring Washington, D.C.
Why did I end up in Washington D.C.? Truthfully, why not? It was my birthday that week, I found a $130 round-trip plane ticket, had a few old friends living there who I didn’t mind visiting, and wanted to see what the difference was seeing DC on a field trip as an 8th grader as opposed to a soon to be twenty-eight year old man. What was I trying to find? Hidden gems. Every tour guide can tell you about […]

Exploring St. Petersburg, Florida
What brought me to St.Petersburg, Florida? Simple. What’s the point of being a born and raised Floridian traveling the world when you haven’t even ventured into your own backyard? So here’s what I saw. Florida Holocaust Museum: I have a mild obsession for World War II and the Holocaust. Despite it being a time period of tremendous pain, hardship, and suffering I have been intrigued by the facts and the stories of the participants and victims on arguably the biggest conflict and […]

Taking On The Smoky Mountains
Why did I want to hike the Smoky Mountains? The real question is why not? So I bought a cheap plane ticket to meet my twin brother at his home in Atlanta and drove his BMW to Gatlinburg. He’s an experienced hiker while I’m pretty much a novice so I plain and simple had nothing to lose on this adventure. Packing List (I Wish I Had Followed): 1. Bring a lightweight traveler’s backpack, not a school one since you won’t be able to fit everything […]

Exploring Atlanta
Four days in the capital of Georgia with nothing to do but explore. Here’s what I found and here’s why I loved my time here. World of Coco-Cola My dad drinks nothing but coke, I mean literally he always has a Coca-Cola for lunch or dinner. Personally, I prefer a little Jack with my coke but I had to visit to satisfy my simple curiosity on why coke is so dang popular and American. This visit is indefinitely family friendly and there […]

Day Trip to Miami
Miami is heavily influenced by Hispanic culture, namely Cuban. As of late a toxic algae has unfortunately tainted the water making it green and foul-smelling and many of the curious and active fish and manatees are gone as well as the infamous beaches being no longer safe to visit for the time-being. Wynwood Walls: Overrun by hipsters and tourists during the summer, Wynwood Walls is the center piece of the art district, Wynwood, that was generally avoided before the art scene’s revival. Now breweries, […]

Nashville: A Drinking City with a Music Problem
What brought me to Nashville? A soft spot for country and whiskey, an intrigue towards troubadours and honky tonks, and an obsession with the Man in Black. I’ll try anything once and found myself roaming with new groups every night, exploring the parks and city together during the day, trying the famous hot chicken and barbeque and drinking the night away at the famous honky tonks on Broadway Street. Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park/Tennessee State Capitol This is not necessarily a brisk walk but it is the […]
