An Outdoor Adventure in Wales
While studying abroad in London I had the opportunity to visit Pembrokeshire, Wales for a wild weekend of outdoor adventure. We stayed at a beautiful cottage snuggled within the incredible Welsh rolling green hills that stretched out to the beautiful jagged coastline. Cottages in Wales are not difficult or expensive to book and they are […]
San Antonio de Areco or Bust!
Here’s a brief look at what it took to get to the Fiesta de la Tradición in San Antonio de Areco this weekend. Have you ever had one of those days where everything just seemed to work out? Well, for my buddy Nate and I that day came when we needed it the most. We decided the […]

If you have ever dreamed of travelling to the majestic country of India, Delhi is a destination that will inspire and amaze even the most cynical of visitor. Whether you are interested in experiencing traditional Indian culture or are more interested in sightseeing and history, the capital city has a plethora of options available that […]
My Rides in Buenos Aires
Taxi, Train, Bus and the Subway… that’s how I get around. Taxi’s are pretty easy and cheap as long as you can talk to the cab driver and tell him where your going. I usually write down the address and cross street just in case he can’t understand my “english accent”. I can get around […]
TRIP SUMMARY: ROC > JFK > MEX > BA
Apart from saying goodbye to mom & sister at the airport, Rochester to JFK was obviously the easy part of the excursion. After a quick flight via JetBlue I grabbed my bags and headed over to a different terminal to check in at Mexicana Airlines. Side note: I hate lugging bags around anywhere. As soon as I […]
T2T Strategic Packing
I packed all this stuff into my new case logic bag (minus the other 2 bags). This bag is sick. Some essentials: Mac Book Pro, iPod, Flip Camera, 2 External Hard drives, Spanish dictionary, composition notebooks and chewing gum (not pictured). For me, clothing wise, t-shirts and sweaters/sweatshirts take up the bulk of my luggage. So, […]
Saying Goodbye
Moving is tough. Saying goodbye to your friends and family is even tougher. I’ve done it a lot over the last few weeks. I think the key to it all is to have a plan for the future. Something to look forward to. A return date is always great because then you have something concrete […]
Skype Talk
As of October 1st I am turning off my cell phone until I return to the states. I’ve signed up for Skype and threw $10 in the account. I transfered all my contacts from my phone to my Skype account so I can call anyone in the world from my computer and Skype will just deduct the cost […]
VISA INFORMATION & “Proof of Departure”
My biggest concern over the last few weeks has been actually passing customs and getting into Argentina (legally). Argentina is relatively liberal towards American tourists but there are still rules and regulations that I need to be aware of before the trip. Because I only purchased a one-way ticket into Buenos Aires I’m afraid they […]
