Flying over the beginning flecks of islands amongst the clear blue ocean, darkened and lightened with depth, I was reminded of images I’ve seen in my undergrad ecology class textbooks. Darwin’s famed Galapagos Islands, whose contribution to evolutionary advances seemed almost mythical when studied in college, was now about to be a real experience. Getting to...
Traveling with pets is ridiculously stressful, especially during the holidays when everyone seems to kick up a few notches of crazy, and airports resemble a herd of confused gazelles, except a lot less graceful. But for most of us, our pets are part of the family, so traveling with them is essential, even if it’s not easy to do. I travel with my dog Oscar...
Fact: The price of flights is the most frustrating, discouraging, and impeding part of traveling. There's even some downsides to cheap flights!

Ah yes, taking a flight used to be thought of as so fancy that people would actually dress up for their flights, and look nice, and have manners, and be considerate of others, etc, etc. Now….not so much. I’m not sure if...
by Alyssa Ramos Disclaimer: Before you freak out and accuse me of being insane or a terrorist…this was how I made light of and tried to see the bright side of a very awkward and eerie situation. Yes, I was terrified. No, I am not responsible if you fly Malaysia Airlines and something happens to your plane. When I was booking my one-way flights around the...
by Alyssa Ramos I hated Bangkok before I even got there. It all started with the negative reviews I got from friends, plus the teeny tiny little fact that there was a military coup (when the military overthrows the government) right before my trip that was causing a 10pm curfew and dangerous riots. It was all downhill from there when my journey from Africa to Bangkok...
