Some people study abroad once in their lifetime, I have been lucky enough to study abroad five (planning a sixth) times in my life. My name is Allyson, but most of my close friends call me Al. Traveling is an integral part of who I am -- I thrive for the challenge and I live for new adventures. I think that's what makes me special as a person but also a young professional. Not only have I studied throughout the world, I have also conducted research, participated in community service, and also just explored destinations that capture my fancy. This is a blog about those places and experiences, but also notes, pictures, stories and ideas about the adventure of life - both extravagant and mundane. Some of the most beautiful things are the most simple. Welcome. |
