Happy New Year’s! Sending you all the happiest wishes for 2019. I’m writing this from Salt Lake City, where I was able to spend part of the holidays with my family. December had me jet setting all over the place. I went as far as west as LA, as far south as the Dominican Republic […]

Layover of the Month: Bozeman
Happy Belated Thanksgiving everyone! I spent my Thanksgiving weekend in Paris, visiting my old host family. It was a great time, even if I had to be far from my family in Utah. Did any of you do something fun? November in general kept me busy! I was only able to go home for one […]

Layover of the Month: San Juan

An Open Letter To My Younger Self
Like many of you, I have plenty of things that I wish I could have told my younger self. Whether that’s experiences I should have pursued or toxic relationships I should have ended earlier – there’s so much I wish I had known. On the other hand, through my experiences I learned about the world […]
