I'm gonna be honest, I always expected my trip to end in a sort of whimper. Not the bad kind of whimper, where I slowly got bored and started to resent the trip. But in the sense that my final adventures during the trip would probably look very similar to every other adventure I had embarked on. I didn't have a big "end of trip party" planned or a crazy idea that would put the rest of trip to shame. And I had come to terms with that concept. Unfortunately for me, my trip didn

I have a confession to make: Miami was probably the most interesting place I've visited during my past few months traveling.

Little did I know at the time that my stay in Savannah would not only be filled with adventure, but it would also end up becoming one of my favorite citi

My experience at the National Infantry Museum was the perfect microcosm of my time in Columbus, GA. It was one of very few notable sights in the city, however, it was quite expansive and time consuming. I often found myself with short periods of boredom while in Columbus, but whenever I stumbled upon something to do, it took up a good amount of time and captured my attention. It actually took me two visits to fully explore the Infantry Museum, but I enjoyed every minute of i
