I'm pretty sure I've mentioned before that I am not a morning person. But just in case I haven't...I am not a morning person. Like at all. I made my schedule in college so that I wouldn't have classes start before noon. I didn't join any clubs that met in the morning. I never took … Continue reading The Changing of the Guard for the Perpetually Late
It's been a year since Anthony Bourdain died. I remember someone mentioned it on Facebook and I stared at my phone for at least five minutes trying to figure out how to react. It was the same reaction I had when I heard of Robin Williams's passing and Troy Gentry's plane crash. I have always … Continue reading Leaving Marks on Your Memory
You know that safety video or demo you're shown before every flight? It's about three minutes long, sometimes silly, but still, you don't really need to pay attention, right? Not like it really matters, right? Uh, wrong. That's why you're getting a safety talk right now. - Your seatbelt should be common knowledge at this … Continue reading A PSA from Your Flight Attendant
After flying to Ireland for about a year and some change, I have finally done a road trip around the Ring of Kerry! It was always high on my bucket list for things to do in Ireland and I finally had a good crew to do the trip with. Now if you take a tour … Continue reading Ring Around the Isle
Another nailbiter of a trip for us flying standby! Of course I got called off of reserve, making me land back in Providence the same night we planned on leaving. So i told Richie to meet me at the airport when I landed and I literally ran off the plane just to change and get … Continue reading Making It to Israel
We've all read them before. Posts or YouTube videos or word of mouth story where someone talks about the trip from hell they had to endure because...things didn't go to plan. That's it. They didn't get kidnapped by the cartel or the mafia, they weren't robbed of all their possessions, they didn't survive a plane … Continue reading One Person’s Trip from Hell Could Be Your Adventure
We traded in a blizzard for white sands and turquoise waters as far as we could see. I saw coconuts in the wild for the first time, ate conch straight out of the water, and saw some of the most beautiful fish without glass between us. On a whim, I bought tickets to Providenciales for … Continue reading What’s that Crunchy Stuff Under My Feet
I always get distracted when I walk around. Even if it's somewhere I've been before, like Bergen in this case. It didn't help that the two crew members I was also with were equally as distracted by everything. We had a mission to get to Ulriken, one of the mountains surrounding Bergen, and it took … Continue reading Mt. Ulriken
Did you guy know I went to Germany during a layover? A lot of my coworkers then followed suit either to Munich like me or somewhere else. Even the ones who hated the long layovers in Dublin are looking forward to them. I feel like a trendsetter. Anyways I had 3 days open in Dublin … Continue reading Wombats Hostel: Munich
It's been a while since I've been able to do a hostel review since I've been staying in hotels for work mostly. Hotels are nice, I stay in my own room in a 3 or 4 star joint with free breakfast, free late check out, and free transport to the airports. Sometimes they are far … Continue reading M Montreal Hostel
