Last week I talked about choosing a study abroad location. Choosing where in the world to go is exciting, but nothing can kill a study abroad dream quite like a look at the program price tag. Money doesn’t have to be your deciding factor, though. There are some things you can do to get funding […]
Studying abroad is a big, fantastic, life-changing decision. Kudos to you for making the choice to do it, but now you’ve got a question to answer for yourself: where will I go? During my junior year of college, I left my little North Carolina university for a semester as an exchange student at a university […]
Last week I shared my natural face wash recipe. This week, I’m sharing my body wash recipe, which also includes several essential oils. If you haven’t read my last article, you may be wondering why on this green earth I would use oil to wash my face and body. To sum it up in a […]
Most of us want to travel the world, yet so few of us actually do it. We plan to save up, but somehow we just can’t stretch our dollars; we spend them on stuff before we can spend them on trips. Having traveled through much of Southeast Asia (and a few other countries) on a […]

My 22nd birthday was a straight up rollercoaster. Halfway into the morning, my dream company cancelled the interview they’d scheduled with me. No more trip to NYC.
