I write this as I’m on my way home, already gone from Uruguay, and suddenly I feel I have left behind a very special place. The people of Uruguay have been beyond friendly, they are among the most gracious and warm people I have ever met and I should add they are also among the most proud people…

New Year’s in Montevideo
New Years Eve in Uruguay is a unique experience that starts early in the day and lasts well into the night. Around 11am, walking through the Ciudad Viaja (old city), an energy started to seep into the streets surrounding the Mercado Del Puerto; the old port market. As we continued to stroll our way through…
Uruguay’s Eastern Beaches
Early morning train to the AirTran, to the plane, first to El Salvador and then to Peru, before I would finally board my flight to Montevideo, Uruguay. After the disappointment of not being able to see my brother's family for Christmas, and spending a quiet, but enjoyable holiday with my mother, I was looking forward…
Bikes, Barong, and Blessings; My Ubud Experience
I’m sitting in the Bali airport waiting for my midnight flight to Korea, where I have a days layover, then home to New York. My last few days in Bali have been memorable and I will try to share as much as possible in this post. Apologies for the length. A fter a long drive…
How the Other Half Lives

In Front of Them All- The JSA and DMZ
My time in Korea ends this morning when I board my flight to Bali, and though I am looking forward to experiencing a new culture, I am going to miss this country and the people I have gotten to know over the last two weeks immensely. That said, I could not ask for a better…
“Please prepare the socks”
These are the words of our field trip tour guide Ms. Minny every time we were scheduled to visit a Buddhist temple the next day. We didn’t get much information, but we always knew to “prepare the socks.” The last couple of days on the road have been tiring and jam packed, but have been…
The Silk Road Ends Here
Today is the third day of our field trip part of the trip outside of Seoul, taking a bus ride down through the South to visit some sights of historical and cultural importance. It has been a jammed packed three days, I can write about the last two right now. The first sight we visited…
