Weird Activities and Awkward Encounters at home and abroad
Milwaukee has a long standing history with the sauce. Once touted as the “beer capital of the world” and currently the 17th drunkest city in America (fun fact: 12 of the top 20 are in Wisconsin!) it’s no wonder there are a few signature drinks you simply must try in Milwaukee. 1- Local Beer This…
You read the title right, yet again I was sportsing. My summer has been full of new experiences, but the amount of times I’ve found myself participating in or spectating sports-ball matches is the most surprising. In case you couldn’t tell, I know exactly 0 about sports. I learned literally all I know about baseball…
Back in April I was all packed up and ready to be one of the first passengers aboard the Fathom Adonia as she sailed into the Dominican Republic for a week of “impact travel”, whatever that meant. Of course, that voyage was not meant to be and lead to a great adventure in Colombia. Fast…

The APPC takes in a number of animals due to problems like loss…
Similar to what I found in Cartagena, Panama City is divided into two major sections, the old and the new. The newer section is much like any modern city full of fancy hotels, casinos, and sky scrappers, while the old section trades some of the big city glitz for historic buildings, charming streets, and museums. …
Apparently there was a time in America when punishment for your crimes was that you get to go live in a castle for a bit. Of course it was not all that glamorous, but the exterior of the Eastern State Penitentiary is stunning. Eastern State created the penitentiary system in which inmates were kept in…
To say Philadelphia is serious about the Philly Cheesesteak is putting it lightly. Everyone has their favorite spot and there are literally hundreds to choose from. I chose Pat’s and Geno’s for comparison since Pat’s is the originator of the Philly Cheesesteak and Geno’s is right across the street, making it the city’s longest standing…
