It started off as a trip to Germany to catch the tail of Oktoberfest, led to an adventure through Slovenia's beautiful autumn-tinted forests, road trips to Italy, with a finale in Cairo, and the best part, all in 9 days!

I flew to Jamaica for my cousins wedding for a week, but the tourist-ridden streets of Ochio Rios left me desiring for adventure. So I hopped aboard a flight bound for Havana alone with no plan or knowledge of possible punishment by the American government. It turned out to be one of the best trips of my life!

My friend and I decided to travel across a few islands of Indonesia by motorcycle. I stopped over for a week in Bangkok to see some friends and then headed to Bali and Lombok for 2 weeks of exploring, SCUBA training, and monkeys!

3 weeks of exploring the north of my favorite country, along with a 5 day detour to Hanoi and a few day trips to Myanmar and Laos.

The start of my year of travel, kicked off with New Years Eve in Rio de Janeiro, 90 hours of bus rides across Brazil, Argentina, and Chile, and topping it off with Rio again. Wow and uau!

My friend found a round-trip ticket for $300, so I jumped on a plane the next day for a 5-day mini vaycay. We spent one night in a hostel, one night on a living room floor, one night in a 5 star resort, and one night we popped open the roof of our convertible and slept under the stars!

With ambitious plans and not enough time to really see an entire country, my friend and I made the best of our week through one of the most beautiful and culturally and ecologically diverse regions of the world.
