Here we get into the nitty-gritty on all things travel and global careers. You can also travel with me and read my thoughts about what it’s like to work overseas.
The last time I wrote an actual blog post…seems like forever ago. If you’re new to this space, welcome! Glad that you are here. Get comfortable, relax…pull up a chair. I first started this corner on the internet, back in 2013, during my senior year of college. I was running a 10k and I wanted […]
Be a tourist in your own town. No, seriously. Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting one of my hometown gems: Lexington Market. Lexington Market, one of the longest-running markets in the world is right here in Baltimore. Operating since 1782, Lexington Market serves a delicious smorgasbord of food including Baltimore’s world-famous crab cakes and […]
I’m sort of freaking out because I thought I knew what I wanted my major to be, but after taking 1st Semester classes I’m having doubts about my decision. I have a few things in mind that might be possibilities but I don’t want to waste my parents’ money just wandering from major to major […]
Written in 2014 How I ate before coming to China was second nature. To pick up food all you have to do is stab it with a fork, scoop it with a spoon, or slice it with a knife. Simple. Coming to China has added an extra challenge to the whole “fueling-your-body-game.” The challenge: chopsticks. […]
Written in 2014 Everything in China is different: the language, the toilets, the utensils, the food, etc. But surprisingly, I am content (I know this is largely due to staying with my friend Melissa and her husband.

Written November 26, 2013: I am on the train in Madrid and I feel defeated. This week in particular has been challenging for me. I haven’t cried much during my two months living abroad, but this week holds the record. Between school and private classes, from Monday to Thursday, I have been running back and […]
Written in 2013 Hi guys! I have a little over a week until I move to Spain. And I gotta’ say, at this stage in my journey, it feels like I’m waiting in line to get on one of those crazy rides at a theme park. I have written this piece below. Moving to Spain… […]
Hi guys! I’ve been MIA from both of my blogs because I’m contemplating how I want to move the sites forward. I am surprised to see people are still stopping by. Thank you 🙂 However! The reason why I’m excited is because I just found out I’m going to volunteer at an immigration center in […]
Today I received a letter saying to pack my bags because I’m going to Spain. In the letter, it told me I was going to be an assistant teacher in an elementary school in a city east of Madrid. I am beyond excited. Woot! Until next time, Chelsea
