The Best Spots in Cincinnati
Hi readers! We all want to get away, take a long vacation to Australia or backpack through Europe. Although I and as well as many others are big travelers, we don’t always have the means to do so—whether that be money, time, transportation, company, etc. I spend quite a bit of time exploring my backyard (and backyards close to me) and take short day trips visiting each one. I highly recommend doing this and you’ll be surprised at what you find. I will definitely make posts in the future as I share my favorite spots in these cool places I’ve gotten to explore.

I Want Adventure In That Great Wide Somewhere. Top Story - November 2017.
“What? That’s so cool. But…why?” Every time someone has asked me “why?” over the last two months, I’ve had some really great answers. Answers that were honest, but also very specificto the needs of each person that asked me – what they value, what they understand, how they think – because that’s something I’m good at. I’m great at editing my life to make it more palatable for those around me. Less great at making it palatable for myself.

How to Talk to Norwegians
Because of their extreme shyness, Norwegians might seem like some of the most confusing people you’ve ever met. Visiting Norway for the first time, you may feel like you’ve landed on a different planet rather than a different country. This doesn't mean that you should avoid talking to Norwegians or visiting Norway. In order to interact with Norwegians, you need to get a look into the well-established rules and customs that control the social interaction between them, even though it may seem like they’ve been taken a bit too far. This guide will explain some of these rules and make sure that, once in Norway, you will be able to act as ‘Norwegian’ as possible.

The Joys of Hiking
In Washington, it tends to rain a lot. So one weekend in the fall, the forecast said it was going to be sunny, and I had to take advantage of that. I invited some friends and we went to Granite Mountain. Granite Mountain is a relatively difficult hike that ends in a pretty fun scramble. The whole way up, it was basically an unspoken race between me and two of my friends.

Disney California Adventure
Failure Disney's California Adventure might not be the worst entertainment idea ever to come out of the Golden State—after all, someone thought it was a good idea to make a feature film about emojis, but it very well could be the worst that ever came out of the house that Walt built.

My Solo Holiday
No one likes to be alone. But there are those rare few people in the world, who flourish in their own company. Me being one of them. Don't get me wrong, sometimes I honestly can't stand it, to the point I think I may just have a mental breakdown. Other times I can't wait to get away from people and just relish my own company. But being alone for a long time hurts, so when I met him (he who I shall not mention until my later blogs), I could see the appeal of getting into relationships, one after another. But after a horrible break up and a torturous few months alone, I decided to go on holiday solo style. And here is how it went.

The Beauty of Dartmoor
The majestic purple of heathers, speckled with faded yellow flowers of gorse, surrounded by a sea of tawny long grass set upon the verdant shorter grass. The breeze, fragranced with the sea, only perhaps twenty miles away, fills my breath with its balm. The whitish plumes of clouds bluff the wide sky.

Moving to England
Every time I look at my left arm I see a little memory imprinted on my skin. It was only 5 months ago that I got my very first tattoo and I am still in love with it. I plan on getting more eventually but this will always be my favourite one as it signifies a really important and massive step towards change, which I took only last year. On the 10th of August 2016 I got on a plane, by myself and with only two bags, I moved to the U.K.
