A lot has happened since Napoli. I’ve been slacking in the blog department, but I’m OK with it. It’s my vacation, I’ll slack if I want to. To make a long story short, I did a day trip to Capri, took a boat around the island and saw the beautiful grottos, flew to London, hung […]

I have to admit, while planning this trip, I was most excited about Granada. (Ok, and Italy too, but thats about a week away…) I left the hostel in Lisbon early in the morning, and took a taxi to the airport. Navigating through the airport was easy, and I surprised myself taking the metro in […]

Back home, I got in touch with a model here in Lisbon for a possible shoot. We wrote back and forth for weeks and planned to shoot on Sunday. Vilma met me at my hostel, showed me how to buy a metro ticket, and helped me through the train system of Lisbon. We met with […]

Ten hour train ride? That doesn’t sound so bad. Oh wait, that screaming child from the last train is sitting next to me? Those florescent lights overhead don’t shut off? These seats don’t RECLINE?!

I’ve about had it with this volcano business. What could have been a cheap flight to Lisbon, turned into spending hundreds of dollars for an overnight train. But, after a nice little refund from Orbitz, (yay for complaining on twitter!) I’m thinking the train might have been a better idea. Besides, how many people can […]

I finally made it to Paris. I spent almost 600 Euro for the ticket. Luckily, I invested in travel insurance. Apparently price gouging is not an issue in Europe. Flights are still grounded from that damn volcano, so naturally train tickets have sky-rocketed. I got to the train station with plenty of time to spare. […]

I Woke up at 4:40 am to catch my 6:45 flight. Or so I thought. I checked Airberlin.com and saw it was cancelled. After freaking out for a bit, I had a little cry and skyped with mom. I even toyed with the idea of just coming home. This volcano eruption has caused the largest […]
