After years of dreaming about backpacking the world, I decided to kick off my adventure with a solo trip through South Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.

I lived in Paris for 353 days this year, days made up of countless moments. And while the moments will never add up to a lifetime, it was a really good life. Until we meet again, Paris.

I was lucky enough to spend an entire year living and working in Paris, France. I enjoyed the most amazing experience thanks to my host family, the friends I made and the adventures I had. Check out all the fun that I had this year in this video!

Twenty-four hours after the tickets had been released and all 90,000 were sold - and I was lucky enough to get my hands on four tickets to the match and a ticket to London from Paris via the Eurostar.

It doesn’t get much better than a summer in Europe, and I was lucky enough to spend the last three months exploring much of the continent. Check out all the fun that I had this summer in this video!

I always thought that I could do anything, even by myself, because I was good at doing things alone. It wasn’t until I moved to Paris that I realized…I had a lot of work to do on being alone.

I don’t want to be a thought, a prayer, or a number. I don’t even want to be a hero. I want universal background checks. I want gun control. I want to forget the routine.

Italy was the country at the top of my bucket list for YEARS! Back in April, I decided to take a solo trip to Cinque Terre and Florence. I had the most amazing experience - follow along in my video!

In March some of my best friends from the United States came to visit me in Paris. I had so much fun showing them around my new city and introducing them to my new friends! I had to show them all the Paris highlights, check them out for yourself in my video!

For me, the first few weeks in Paris haven’t been about firsts. They’ve been about seconds - little moments, precious moments, moments you might miss if you hadn’t been waiting for them your whole life.
