Nature v. Nurture: On Noise and Dancing
After a year and a half of Peace Corps service in Barranquilla, Colombia, I think I’m closing in on about as “integrated” as I will be. Two things I still find astonishing, however, are the love of noise and dancing abilities of everyone on the coast of Colombia. As a Midwesterner from a small, farm-bordered [...]
The Best Apps for a Go Girl on the Road!
Setting out on my cross-country trip via Greyhound bus I knew the only way I could continue my part-time social media associate position, in addition to writing for Go Girl and other freelance projects, was to have a device that allowed me to stay connected wirelessly no matter where I was or where I went. [...]
Back in Time
Let me take you back in time, to 2009 when I first experienced Africa. Since the sixth grade when I first heard about my high school’s Tanzania Exchange Program I knew that I had to go…I was four years too young and probably didn’t know exactly where Tanzania was but I had what some describe [...]
A NYC Summer
It’s been over a month now and I still have so much to see! But so far, I’ve explored Prospect Park, Central Park and Taste of Times Square. So far food has been the name of the game. Parks are fantastic–especially if you organize a picnic with friends. And, well, as a Frisbee player, wide [...]
The African Heartbeat
Music is a huge part of my life. Ever since I was a little girl I would play tapes at home and walk around the room dancing and singing along. My mother always played a lot of Portuguese music, which is both lyrical and melodic, to acquaint me with the artistic cultural roots within me. [...]
Breztels and Katrin
Maybe it’s recent beer talk amongst friends, or rehearsing the Brahms’ Requiem (complete with German pronunciation lessons), or maybe just a nostalgic desire to cuddle up with a dear friend, but I have been missing my sweet heart Katrin. She and I met in class while studying in Spain and we became good pals after [...]

There Once was a GoGirl in Ireland
I tried to write a limerick for this post, but the truth is that rhyming is not my strongest field. Besides, limericks are supposed to be obscene by nature, and my trip to visit my good friend definitely could not be defined as obscene. Amanda was spending the semester abroad studying in Cork, so it [...]
More Zanzibari antics! :)
Another stunning day on Zanzibar island. It’s so hot today — about 36 degrees I think — and the sea is so warm it’s like getting in a bubble bath…not very cooling but still one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen! After cooking in the sun for a good few hours we decide [...]
My Australia in Review
If you’ve ever hesitated about the long flight to Australia, don’t. The great land down under is worth every bit of the long journey and the memories I’ll never forget. After almost five months in Australia, having sneakily avoided winter, I’m settling back into London life. When I think about my most recent travel adventure, [...]
