seventeen things I've learned from traveling the...
66 days, 8 countries, and 3 continents..in one summer. that’s pretty darn good. i think it’s safe to say that i’ve learned a lot about the world..and myself to say the least. this was the best experience of my entire life and i wouldn’t trade any of the memories from summer 2010 for the world. i have a serious disease now..they call it the travel bug. some would call this...

4 days
Four days ago..I don’t remember..
Three days ago I went to an atheist seminar. It was weird. And it left me very confused.
Two days ago I did Insanity Workout and it was so hard, but so much fun and makes you feel awesome afterwards.
Yesterday Lo and I laid out on the bow of the boat almost all day long. There’s nothing like catching rays in the middle of the Atlantic listening to...
MOROCCO!
I’m apologizing in advance that this is going to be VERY long. So be prepared..
I want to say that Morocco was my favorite place that I’ve been this summer BUT it’s really hard to compare it with anywhere else I’ve ever been. It’s on a whole other level. Before this…Croatia was my favorite place. It still might be, just in a totally different context. That was more of a fun, beachy vacation place....
it's official...
Morocco is my favorite country that I’ve been to this entire summer.
the beginning of the end.
last preport of the summer was tonight = :(
staying in an amazing riad in Marrakech with my friends for the next 4 days = :)
getting an A on my Global Studies test = :D
eating pigeon for dinner = ehhhhhh
tonight is supposed to be the rockiest night of the entire voyage. the ship tilts to a 40 degree angle on each side from 11pm-4am. awesome. looks like i won’t be sleeping tonight. we...
EGYPT: a place of a lot of past and no future
So I waited a few days after leaving Egypt to write this blog for a couple reasons…if I wrote it the day we left I would have written pages and pages bashing the country (I’ve cooled off a bit now), second, Sea Olympics were yesterday so I was busy all day and it was great..even though we didn’t win. We did win the big lip sync contest at the end though, which was hilarious. And third, I had like...

SAS song of the Summerrrrr..so good!
WHERE EAST MEETS WEST.
First off, I’d like to say that Istanbul exceeded my expectations by far and is an absolutely amazing city. I think it was the perfect transition country between Europe and Africa. It was the perfect mix of European tourism and religion. There would be bars and nightclubs and shopping in Taksim, but then 5 times a day they would do the call to prayer over the loudspeakers all over the city. It...
Thoughts right this second!
1. Istanbul is soooo awesome
2. Turkish delight really is delightful
3. I ate so much baklava the first day that I don’t think I’ll be able to eat it ever again
4. It rains here at least once a day.
5. I am blonde…therefore I am an alien here, but everyone seems to want to marry me because I am also Paris Hilton in their eyes.
6. Haggling is realllly fun.
7. Starbucks is...

GREECE.
There is no other word to describe Greece except..unreal. I didn’t even know such a place existed. I think other people had much different experiences than I did, depending on what you did, but I would definitely describe Greece as the craziest place I have ever been, ever. More on that later..
When we first got to Greece, we arrived in a port called Piraeus, which is like six miles outside of...
The Pearl of the Adriatic...aka my favorite place...
Croatia is by the far my favorite place I have ever been in my entire life. Like even better than Disneyland…and anyone that knows me knows how I feel about the happiest place on Earth. Disney may want to rethink their slogan because I think Dubrovnik may take the cake. It’s so weird that this is my favorite part so far (and I think will be of the entire trip because it’s going to be awfully hard...

True Life: I live on a ship / Italia, part two!
It’s still weird that “home” to me is a ship. It is even weirder that I really do consider it home and feel like it is home when I am on it. You have no idea how good it feels to walk up see our huge blue floating home after a long, miserably hot and sweaty day of touring a country. I have never loved air conditioning more in my life. Granted, it is freezing allllll the time, but you really...
Roma, Firenze and Pisa!
First off..I thought I liked Spain..but it is NOTHING compared to my
love of Italy. Everything here is soooo unbelievably beautiful and
historic. This country has so much history that it makes America look
like a little baby..I feel like we have nothing really that cool or
old now, as sad as that sounds. Everything here feels like you’re in a
movie..or maybe I’ve just seen the...

Barcelona, Espana
I don’t even know where to begin..I feel like I’ve been here for forever because I feel like I know the city like the back of my hand, but at the same time it’s gone by so fast and I don’t want to leave! It’s most definitely an incredible city and nothing like I expected…so clean and modernized. And this city definitely does not sleep. Nightlife starts at like 2am and ends at 8am but then there’s...

Rule #1: Be Selfish
so normally i would like to think that i’m not a very selfish person..but now that i’ve been given a once in a lifetime opportunity..i’m gonna be selfish. i’m going to do what i want to do regardless of what other people want to do. even if i end up doing it with someone i hardly know or alone (to a certain extent of course) but i didn’t travel all this way, work this...
LAND, HO!
we’re FINALLY going through the Strait of Gibraltar in a few hours..eeeeeee! so exciting to finally actually be IN the Med and see two different continents at the same time..pretty crazy. It’s weird to think that I’m 9 hours ahead of home..that’s a whole lot of hours. Only one more day of classes and then I don’t have class for like 2 whole weeks..I could definitely...
things i thought i'd never say: part one
I’m going to Africa
I went to a funeral for a bird
I like learning about AIDS
Would you like a glass of wine? No thank you.
It’s Saturday at 8am. I am in class.
I live on a ship.
Would you rather stay in a hotel or hostel? Hostel.
Let’s start getting ready to go to Razzmatazz at 1am.
I never want to eat another grain of rice, pasta or potato again.
That fish looks good.
...
random thoughts..
1. the water pressure of the shower on the ship is amazing. That sounds silly..but really, trust me..it’s important
2. my bio professor is from Scotland and he has a lovely accent and we are already best friends
3. I fall asleep in every class and it’s only day 2. I blame it on the fact that we sit on comfy couches in class and its warm and the rocking of the boat just puts you right to sleep.

kkmorse asked: what's the food like on the ship?!
somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic..
floating, floating, floating for the next 7 days until Barcelona. it’s been quite rocky..definitely not like a normal cruise. i got woken up today by a nice big wave that knocked me out of bed. classes started and i think i’m going to really like them..my notes look really silly and it’s super hard to stay awake in class because the rocking and comfy couches pretty much put me to...
i reaalllyy like nova scotia..it totally reminds me of ireland. i would move here if/when america goes to shit. i got a new camera today to take lots of pretty pictures to show everyone so that’s exciting. tomorrow is the big day..but more importantly, the bachelorette is on right now yipppeee! i had breakfast at some place called Cora’s this morning..most amazing thing i’ve ever...
“open mind, open heart”
SO..i never ever thought i would ever make a tumblr or blog of any sort..simply because i would absolutely suck at updating it..BUT considering i am traveling the world this summer and my communication with my american lovers is not going to be as wonderful as usual, i decided to break down and do this. ALSO, i didn’t want to have to tell the same stories over and over again so i will just...
