Hang gliding is a must do in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, so even though I had no real drive to run full speed ahead and throw myself off of a cliff, there I was: strapped into a harness, hooked onto a hang glider with my instructor asking me 100 times “you will keep running, yes?”. […]

A Catholic Wedding in India
Indian weddings are famous. Thousands of guests, days of parties, elaborate costumes…frankly, American weddings look a little lame in comparison. So obviously my husband booked a ticket to India when we were invited to his friend’s wedding in Goa. Turns out Goa is a Catholic, Portuguese section of India. Our friend Mariza’s wedding was held […]
An Illegal Border Crossing into Paraguay
“It wasn’t intentional. I always learn about learning the entry requirements for every country I visit. I always mail away my passport or wait in line for hours at the Consulate to get the required visa. So I am sorry, Paraguay, that I snuck into your country and blatantly disobeyed your border patrol officers. Sorry. […]
Is Rio de Janeiro Dangerous for Tourists?

Cuba’s Tourism Industry: How it is for Cubans and for Foreigners
As an American traveling to Cuba, I was mainly excited to see Havana. Aside from the Guantanamo Bay, I hadn’t heard about any other sites, and Guantanamo Bay isn’t really a tourist destination if you aren’t Michael Moore. It’s also about a 10 hour drive from Havana. But what about the rest of the island? We were […]
How to Get a Visa for Traveling
I have to say that I’ve been spending way too much money on visas this year. We first went to India in January on our honeymoon so we both had to get 6 month visas to enter the country ($76). Now we will be returning to India again in February ($76). We are also going […]
Hipster Art and First Friday in Philly
Despite my dad being an artist (shameless plug), I feel like most times I don’t really “get” modern art. I see when things look nice, I appreciate the technique, but those paintings where the skill level is hovering around Kindergarten don’t really appeal to me. So you have a solid black canvas with a red line painted […]
