My first week back in Ohio, I went to Portsmouth to visit my sister and dad. Staying at my sister’s house is sort of like being on one of those all Inclusive holidays. I sleep in the most comfortable bed in the world. (Seriously, it’s like sleeping on one of those Heavenly beds at a […]
5 Must Do Things in Columbus, Ohio
Columbus, Ohio When I tell people I meet during my travels, that I am from Columbus, Ohio, I usually get two reactions. 1. If the person is from or has lived in the US, they assume my home is in the middle of a corn field and that cow-tipping is the main form of entertainment. […]
First Week in Ohio
It has been 9 months since I left Columbus, Ohio to start my travel sabbatical in Quito, Ecuador. When I see one of my friends, the first question is: What does it feel like to be home? My answer: It does not feel any different. And that makes me happy. I can leave my family […]
What Will It Be Like to Come Home?
After the initial excitement of knowing I am going see my friends and family soon, I am starting to wonder what it will be like. I will have been gone for 9 months, traveling in countries that have different lifestyles, cultural norms, and beliefs than my own country. I have adapted to this, and I […]
My Decision to Go Home
I previously wrote about how Buenos Aires is the type of city that sucks you in. It sucked me in for 4 months. I was ready for a place to call home before I actually arrived in Buenos Aires. I wanted to settle down somewhere. I had been to this city before and knew I […]

Gallery Nights in Buenos Aires
I have written before about the great art in Buenos Aires. I have visited quite a few galleries and attended multiple art events. There are so many options to choose from in this city, and most are free. The importance and accessibility of art is one of the reasons I love this city. When I […]
The Best Ice Cream in the World Is in Buenos Aires
This is a pretty big claim. No, I have not been everywhere in the world, but I cannot imagine it gets any better than Buenos Aires. I had sampled a few ice creams at various small shops in the Palermo neighborhood. It was all delicious. Then I was told which places are considered to be […]
My Argentine Crush
When I was living with Ayngelina, she told me about her motivation to go to the gym. His name is Andrés. He teaches body pump and body combat classes and provides an hour (sometimes two!) of eye candy for the women (and probably some men) at the gym every weekday. I decided I would check […]
Are the Stereotypes about Porteñas True?
A few weeks ago, I learned a stereotype in Buenos Aires that women cannot drive when I got in my first taxi accident. (I think this may be a stereotype around the world.) This reminded me of something funny I read several months ago. When I first arrived in Buenos Aires, I grabbed some of […]
