Oh, my little blog. It’s been around since before I decided to take my career break and travel. It’s been around since I one sleepless October night in Atlanta when, around midnight, the words to the start of my story I wanted to share just popped into my head. Then, I was up. Out ofContinue reading “The Adventures of D — A Retrospect”

Escape of the Week: Benidorm by night
It was a year ago, nearly to the day, I was on #blogtripf1 in the Land of Valencia. The five-day trip was an amazing experience, allowing me to experience yet another beautiful province in Spain, and meet some of the most amazing travel bloggers ever. Our second night together, we headed to the super BritishContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Benidorm by night”
Interview: Adrenaline Living
I had the pleasure today of being interviewed by Angelia Miller on her Adrenaline Living Talk Show. It’s my first interview, and quite a change from being the person pitching to the person being interviewed. If you have the time, give it a listen. It’s insight into quitting your job, traveling and my experiences travelingContinue reading “Interview: Adrenaline Living”
Escape of the Week: Merida’s Roman Statue
Tucked into the westernmost part of Spain is the Extremadura region. A land heavy on the nature, light on the bustling city. A place where people go to get away from the big cities and take a few more minutes to sip their coffee. A place where people go to explore the local wildlife (birdContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Merida’s Roman Statue”
Escape of the Week: Spanish Spring
I remember it like it was yesterday … there I sat on a bus barreling out of Madrid and toward the beautiful Extremadura region, ready to go and teach more English. I was exhausted from the evening I had before, and was struggling to keep my eyes open. The Vaughantown bus stopped for a foodContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Spanish Spring”
Escape of the Week: Madrid Metro
Hi, my name is D and I am in LOVE with Madrid. Sure, there have been plenty of nay-sayers, people who warned me against visiting Madrid, people who said the city wasn’t a place to tour. But, you know what? I LOVE Madrid. Every inch. The city pulses. It sings to me. It is oneContinue reading “Escape of the Week: Madrid Metro”
The time I (didn’t) party with Will Schuester
There is a motto backpackers have when traveling the world: Always say yes. Always. Typically, I try to adhere to this as much as possible. Of course, the one time I don’t is the one time I kick myself.
To be, or not to be … topless
The women surrounding us on the beach had one thing in common: they were missing their swimmer tops. And not the least bit shy about walking, running, jumping in the rolling waves of the Mediterranean without being covered. Going topless on a European beach. It’s on my bucket list. But, could I really take offContinue reading “To be, or not to be … topless”
The best food. Ever.
I have never been a foodie. I am too picky of an eater to really go all out and sample delicacies the world over. If you asked me a year ago where the best restaurant I have ever eaten was, I would tell you simply — in Las Vegas. Because, well, let’s be real, LasContinue reading “The best food. Ever.”
F1 101: Your cheat sheet
Formula One Grand Prix. If you asked me my thoughts on it before I left for Europe, I would have looked at your blankly and mumbled something about it being loud and like NASCAR. It took another continent and tickets to the Formula One Grand Prix in Valencia, Spain (thank you Land of Valencia) toContinue reading “F1 101: Your cheat sheet”
