On November 20th the start of my mini European journey began in Sofia, Bulgaria. It has been a little bit over 10 years since I had last been to Europe so this was a major thrill for me! The first thing I did once I got to Sofia was check in to my hostel… or [...]
04.22.17 Taste of Niagara Falls
This past Saturday I had the luxury of being able to eat out three times. So this may not have been the best thing for me but I was happy to have been able to revisit one of my favorite places in the area, as well as try out some new restaurants. First off, I [...]
04.21.2017 Kiwi and coffee?
Kiwi, caramel, and coconut in a latte? Yes you read correctly! Orange Cat in Lewiston does it again. Absolutely Delicious. This morning I found myself with the need to have a little sweet indulgence, so naturally I thought of Orange Cat coffee in Lewiston, New York. Usually when I simply get one of there flavored [...]
02.02.17 The Universal Language of the Cappuccino
So for those of you who don’t know, I went on a solo-backpacking trip through Europe over the course of 11 days over my Thanksgiving break. I had the absolute blessing of being able to travel to 8 countries, 7 of them new to me. Out of the man lessons I learned, one thing that [...]
10.19.16 Hannah’s life update
Okay so the title of this makes it sound like I am about to announce something super dramatic but I am not. I just want to give a little update about what sorts of things I have been up to since, besides my post about Vermont, I haven’t blogged since Thailand. I mentioned in the [...]

06.19.16 a weekend in Bangkok
I cannot believe how fast our weekend in Bangkok sprung up!! I remember thinking how far away it seemed this weekend was and now it is here. As well, it is a little bittersweet because that means that I have been in Thailand longer than I have left. Friday at 5 we got picked up [...]
06.17.16 3rd week of classes at CMU
Before I even begin, I need to apologize for taking so long to actually write up these posts. I don’t really know what happened. So if details are a little sparse that’s why. The good news is that it means I won’t be writing a novel about 2 days. Better late than never. The most [...]
06.11.16 blowing leaf bubbles and trekking in the jungles of Thailand
By far, this was my favorite day of my trip so far. Everything about today was more than beautiful. We got picked up from the hotel at 8:30 and drove about an hour to a local market, where our guide gave us showed us and explained some of the things the locals like to eat. [...]
06.10.16 Tuk tuks, squat toilets, and monk chats
I am officially covered in mosquito bites. It is at the point where I don’t even care if I put on bug spray because I will still be itchy from how many I already have. I would try to count but there is not point because there are too many. That being said, I’m not [...]
