  • PR Day 3: Volunteer Time 5/30/23

    AHHH first day!! I’ve never experienced this kind of excitement. It was finally time, finally time to do what I came here for, and what I’d been planning for months. It feels so surreal that it’s actually here now. Belle and I got ready to be there by 10 am. Which by the way is Continue reading

  • PR Day 2: I made a friend!! 5/29/23

    It’s Monday now, which means officially starting my first week here in Puerto Rico. I couldn’t start volunteering yet because it was a national holiday however that did give me the opportunity to get to know the area a bit more before I fully got started. On this day I decided to obviously look at Continue reading

    Alright! So day one, basically a full 16 hours of travel. The 27th of May my flight was leaving at 6:25 pm. So long story short I had another day to get ready. I went and got my nails done with my mom, I triple checked my bag and rested basically the whole day. Then Continue reading

  • Quick Summer Update

    Welcome back! I know it’s been quite awhile but… my mom has encouraged me to use this as a personal journal to document the trip I’m on. Since many of you probably aren’t aware, this summer I decided I wanted to spend a month away volunteering. After plenty of research I found a program that Continue reading

  • VENICE

    This was honestly in my words the most iconic Italy destination. When I was younger when I thought of Italy I thought all of it was fancy balconies, water filled streets, and boats as transportation. So obviously it was pretty amazing to see it come to life. This was another one of our one night Continue reading

  • MILAN

    Another day trip! After Spain we made our way on a plane to Milan. I feel our main reason was because my older sister Amber wants to be in the fashion industry, and Milan is ranked pretty high in that department. We are all very into getting dressed up, shopping, and putting together outfits so Continue reading

  • MADRID

    So let’s just say I’ve been busy… doesn’t matter, I’m back now and have lots to share. On July 22nd we arrived in Madrid, Spain. It was a layover so it was quite short but I think we should of stayed longer. This place was so gorgeous. The architecture, the people, just the whole place. Continue reading

  • Day 7: St. Louis

    So our third day on St. Louis we went shopping which was really fun but not super intresting so this will be short.
