I recently got back from a trip to Alaska in June. I have been to a few locations higher up in the northern hemisphere before, but usually I’ve gone in the darker months with the intention to see the northern lights.

This happens, though, especially on a… Read More An Introduction to Tennessee

01. Sleepless in Seattle My flight was at 6.15am, so I “woke up” at 2am in order to have ample time to eat, shower, and get last minute details taken care of before heading to O’hare. ( When I say “woke up,” I mean actually got out of bed because I had been laying there… Read More Travel to Seattle
