T(anzania) minus 2! Two more sleeps until I leave for Tanzania. I’m pretty excited, finally. Not that I didn’t want to go until now, but I was too busy with other stuff, such as the seminar on electrical engineering for translators I attended in Hildesheim this weekend. It was a lot of fun, and even […]
Still working on the next installment of the New Zealand report, but a lot of things are going on right now. For one, I’m going to leave how to dive! I’m super excited for that, especially in light of the Tanzania trip this summer. Diving in Zanzibar? Yes, please. In a fairly spontaneous move, a […]
When I said I’d have more posts up soon, I obviously meant in several months’ time. …oops? Life has kept me extraordinarily busy. Since my last post, I’ve written a dissertation, found a job that I love, moved into a new apartment that I also love, and done a ton of other stuff that, despite […]
So I haven’t really been around much at all lately, but life is keeping me very busy. As are the New Zealand photos I’m still working on! But the first part of the report should finally be up some time soon. In the meantime, I wanted to talk a bit about my plans for this […]
In a surprising turn of events, I’m off to Italy again this month. It was all very sudden, obviously, but ever since my nonno died in January, things have been piling up that really need sorting through. So now the boyfriend and I are accompanying my father. It’ll be the first time in nearly a […]
¡Hola amigos! Still recuperating from Africa. I would kindly ask whatever kind of parasite I must have brought with me to get the hell out now. But while I eat rusk and drink chamomile tea all day every day, I am planning my upcoming Italy trip more. So far, it looks like I’m going to […]
Phew. It’s been a few rough weeks, and I sure am glad to be home now. Ghana is gorgeous, if the dirtiest country I’ve ever been to, but it’s also incredibly difficult to travel through, in my limited European experience. Tanzania felt much easier, though that might just have been thanks to our group leader. […]
(Post written on Aug 27, 11000m above the ground; TMI warning for health-related issues.) I have never felt as haggard during a flight as I do just now. The malaria prophylaxis is giving me few side effects, but of those that I do have, the constant nausea is the worst. It’s not the I’m-going-to-throw-up-right-this-very-second kind […]
Hello and a wonderful day from London! Free wifi spots are proving sparse (what the hell, London?), but there isn’t much to report either way. The weather is, like most other things, very English. We’ve been through most of the touristy stuff already, including one amazing London Walk (thanks, Adam!) and one not so amazing […]
