After Amed, we rode back to Ubud to return our motorbikes and then took a taxi out to Kuta. Kuta is a beach town in southern Bali known for surfing and partying (mostly partying). The guys had been before and didn’t have too much interest in going again but I had never been so I…Continue reading Kuta: Getting robbed, volcano eruptions, and the importance of travel insurance

Amed and WTF mountain
After Lovina, we headed east to Amed – a beach town with a coral reef right off the coast line. It was pretty much just one road the whole way there but we had to drive through a city, Singaraja, to get to it. People were motioning for us to slow down on our motorbikes…Continue reading Amed and WTF mountain
Lovina and Sekumpul waterfalls
lThe ride to Lovina was about 4 hours from Ubud. It was a really beautiful ride, winding through different village and passing through rice paddies. We took some back roads that were a little sketchy at times (unpaved roads beside a cliff with no guardrail) but was overall a nice ride. We were getting hungry…Continue reading Lovina and Sekumpul waterfalls
Ubud, Bali
Ubud, Bali After getting off the plane in Denpasar and making my way through the visa line, I finally met up with Alan and Dylan. We grabbed some waters and then headed to the cab they had waiting (which we then actually switched to another car because this driver scratched his trying to get out…Continue reading Ubud, Bali
JFK –> DOH –> DPS
Knowing that I’d probably get stuck in some decent traffic on the way to JFK, especially since I was leaving at rush hour, I left myself plenty of time to get to the airport. It also gives me incredible anxiety if I don’t give myself more than enough time to get somewhere when I am…Continue reading JFK –> DOH –> DPS

Cape Cod Wrap Up: Part Two
Week 4: This week I went back into Boston during the week to see Odesza for my friends birthday. This was my last hurrah in Boston. So, as me and Britt like to do, we stayed up all night and watched the sunrise from our roof and walked around the Fenway area dressed like assholes wearing…Continue reading Cape Cod Wrap Up: Part Two

stuff, time, & values
My pre-travel preparation has consisted of paring down the amount of “stuff” I hold onto. A month ago I moved out of my apartment in Boston and threw out tons of junk that I’ve been holding onto for years (a foot tall stack of organic chemistry flashcards, three year old makeup samples) along with excess…Continue reading stuff, time, & values
post-graduation thoughts
As I laid in bed last night, less than a week after graduating college, I couldn’t stop thinking about one big question: “what do I want?” I was reading a book called The End of the Suburbs. A book I picked up because (1) the ideas surrounding classic suburbia make me want to submerge myself into a…Continue reading post-graduation thoughts
