    Saw the White House today! ? The street in front was closed, even to pedestrians, so this photo looks a tad empty. Hi Obama family! ? from Instagram: http://ift.tt/2axAwIT

    Spending time with friends/family and researching my next trip vs out exploring so here’s another #latergram from the beautiful Vernazza to Corniglia hike in Cinque Terre.

    Got to catch a Red Sox game when I was in Boston for $5! ⚾ I had no idea Fenway park was the oldest ballpark in the MLB so I enjoyed seeing all the old quirks. They have a manually updated scoreboard! I couldn’t believe it. from Instagram: http://ift.tt/2a5gGPG

    The streets of Chinatown- empty, early in the morning. Got up super early Friday for a bus to Boston. No way was I going to take the subway at rush hour with a giant backpack!! ? from Instagram: http://ift.tt/2a82NUC

    Staying in Bushwick for this trip confirmed that Clinton Hill was the best Brooklyn neighborhood I could have lived in. The graffiti and street art were awesome but I missed the trees of my old neighborhood! ??? from Instagram: http://ift.tt/2a1fOik

    What’s in the Backpack

    I’m not the first person in the world to go backpacking but I’ve gotten a lot of questions about what I’m carrying/how from friends back home so here’s some info on the “gear” and “stuff” I’m carrying.

    On The Road For Two Weeks In Italy

    I’ve been in Italy for 15 days – that’s just about the maximum I was ever gone from work in a row. After college, I can only remember two times I took that many days off in a row. When my little brother (and only sibling!) got married, I took time off to spend with…

    The beginning of my travels!

    So here I am… the same but different at the beginning of my travels. Mostly I’ve just been a lot more tired than normal this week. Jet lag? Hostel sleeping? Too much to think about? Any way I’m still very happy and excited about my decision to travel! Allowing myself to travel at a slower pace was…
