  1. Aeropuerto

    I made it to the airport. 12 hours of travel and I’ll hopefully be somewhere I want to be (not Houston, por favor!). Estoy practicar mi blogging de iPodPhone ahora. Esta bien?

    Adios muchachos! (fun fact, my computer spell check wants this word to be ‘stomachache’)! It’s 5:45 AM, and like usual in the days just prior to getting on a long airplane or bus ride, when sleep is most essential to function and prosperity, I can’t get a wink in. I stayed up all night watching [...]

    Zomgzz! I’m about to leave!

  3. 1000w

    I got my placement test for the Spanish School I’ll be going to the first few weeks in Costa Rica, and it reminded me of how much I totally suck at speaking español. Please visit the hablamos español page for a list of useful Spanish that I do know, and feel free to laugh. I [...]

  4. via

    Yeah, I know, support the little guy. Viva negocios locales!! But until the little guy comes up with something this convenient/delicious, bring it on Starbucks! VIA instant coffee packets are a godsend when I’m on the road, in the sky, or running around a jungle. If I can make a fire or find a stove, [...]

  5. Don’t Forget to Pack: Sleepin’ Mask

    If you’ve ever spent more than 1 night sleeping at a Hostel, you realize that most foreigners define ‘respect’ as something different than you. An eye mask is perfect for 5 a.m. when your Australian roommates roll into the room and forget that other people in the world exist, and most of them are trying [...]

  6. skullcandy-holua_full

    I’m never traveling without my Skullcandy Earbuds. Unlike those uncomfortable iPod headphones or bulky over-the-head noise-canceller that get broken the minute you cram them under your airplane seat or they end up in the bottom of your backpack, Skullcandy has made these super steezy and supremely comfy headphones that double as earplugs!  These things keep [...]

  7. dress

    The Too Short Tube Dress from AmAppy is by far the most amazing piece of clothing I’ve ever owned. In fact, since trying one on a few years ago in a desperate act to stay-clothed-while-doing-laundry-abroad, I’ve owned more of these things than I can count on one hand. This magical tube of cotton and spandex [...]

  8. CIMG0475

    Traveling can be lonely. It can be hard and un-funny and more than anything else, uncomfortable. Hostels without pillows, 30 hour bus rides, and middle seats of airplanes: I’ve never not been glad to have one of these adorable stuffed monsters from Ugly Dolls with me at all times. My first, Ice Bat, accompanied me [...]

  9. blast off

    In just two weeks time, I’ll be coaxing one of my Portlandia friends to drive me to the airport. It could even be… you. Whazzam!
