Easter Island, or Rapa Nui, is the most remote inhabited place on Earth. Spending three weeks there helping with research was not something I really planned or even imagined doing, but that's what I did this summer!

Two Days in Santiago
I've had an amazing couple of days in Santiago! It's such a big and vibrant city, and I would love to see more of it in the future.

This little Provençal town (also mentioned in my post about day trips in Provence) is, of course, beautiful to walk though, but it's also home to the Palais des Papes (Papal Palace) and the famous Pont d'Avignon… Continue reading One Day in Avignon, France
Canada 2016
In the summer of 2016, my nascent travel blog got its second wave of posts when I spent 5 weeks in a French immersion program in Québec City, Canada. My blog has evolved a lot since then, but I'm preserving those posts here for anyone who wants to explore them! Keep in mind, this is… Continue reading Canada 2016
