Preface

Don’t tell me not to fly, I’ve simply got to.

Hi there. My name is Emily, welcome to my travel journal.

Why does this blog exist?

  • Because I need a space to keep and organize my pictures and stories chronologically
  • Because it’ll help me remember the more detailed aspects of my adventures
  • Because Instagram wouldn’t let me make another account on which to do the above^
  • Because it’s fun and an easy way for my friends to keep up with my shenanigans

Some context for those who may need it: I am a 19 year old college student born and raised in Southern California. I live by the beach, I go to school by the beach, and I decided to run away from the beach to study abroad this year. First up is Paris and then Japan in the spring.

Previous traveling includes a couple days in Cabo, some family trips to Las Vegas, Wisconsin and the Grand Canyon, and a few summer visits to Japan when I was much younger.

Hobbies include reading, musical theatre, tennis, surfing, piano and singing. I am particularly interested in performing arts and architecture so that will probably be highlighted in most of my entries. I predict this blog will mostly act as a daily journal / place to shitpost my thoughts which I will try to keep semi-regularly. Other entries may be more specific and much briefer or include reviews/recommendations of cities, foods, etc. that I encounter.

My hope is to continue to write and document my experiences on this site for the following year at least, as well as with any future travels. I would like to be able to revisit and reminisce on my adventures abroad through this blog.

If you have made it this far, thank you for your attention and also why??? I hope this blog provides something enjoyable for you, whether it is entertainment or inspiration for future travels. If not, that is not my problem.

Bon voyage!

Emily
