If you've been following along for the last 3 years, you know we've done something a little different each time. The first year we gave some bags to those on the streets as well as… Continue reading SUCCESS! 3rd Annual Homeless Care Package Project

Today is our last day in Philly and it feels like we’ve been here both a short time and a long time. Regardless, it’s been a great time. Lucky for me, since it was our last day we didn’t have to be up too early. I’d say I got up around 8:30-9 or so, which… Continue reading Day 3 : Magic Gardens
After sleeping only 5 hours last night after a long day, I gotta say, it was difficult getting up this morning. Nonetheless, the show must go on because we had A LOT to do today. This is the only full day my parents had while here in Philly, and we’re all leaving about midday tomorrow.… Continue reading Day 2 : We walked how much?!
Happy New Year New Place 2023! If you’re new around here, let me give you a little background. When I turned 20 (in 2016), I made a goal to myself to go one new place every year. I’ve been lucky enough to be going strong so far, making this year’s trip my 7th! If you’re… Continue reading Day 1: A Day at the Zoo!

I can't believe it's already been 4 months since I broke my wrist. I had learned 5 things in just over a week after my injury, so imagine all the things I've learned since then! If you don't know, mid-July I broke my wrist playing volleyball practicing for a tournament. I broke my radius (thumb… Continue reading 4 months since breaking my wrist
Last year I initiated a project making homeless care packages to give out to people on the streets in Connecticut. I raised almost $1500, made 48 backpacks, and supported 2 charities in addition to handing bags out. I received a lot of positive feedback and participation, so I'm ecstatic that we are BACK for Year… Continue reading 2nd Annual Homeless Care Package Project!
Nowadays I don’t get as many steps in as I’d like to and given that I walked nearly 9 miles yesterday, my body is feeling it. However, it was blissful to be able to somewhat sleep in (until 8am) after such a long day. Today wasn’t as packed full of things to do as yesterday,… Continue reading Day 3: Art, Fields, and Views!
After about 5 hours of sleep, I was up and at ‘em getting ready to take on downtown Chicago! I was hoping to be getting to Cloud Gate aka The Bean early morning/sunrise to try and beat the crowd, but did not account for a one hour commute to the city via public transit so… Continue reading Day 2: Bean There, Done That
