Wild Ones

Ahh, Mexico, you seize me yet again. Yet again, I had another non-disappointing adventure that I will never forget. I captivated your beauty and ravished in your sunshine and sandy beaches and touristy clubs. Go ahead and click play and enjoy my beach and boat friendly excursions:


































Cabo San Lucas was amazing. I had so much fun and had a really big group of friends that had no problems arise while we were there. Simply, we were there to have a good time and that was definitely accomplished! It did remind me a lot of Cancun with all the under age drinking and the whole city was lit up with full active young adults (and the few families who probably did not realize it was spring break when they booked their vacations).  We danced the nights away in the clubs and shuffled in the streets.. all in having a good time.  And so I bring you, the good times, the best of times and the nights/days I will always remember and never forget!
















































Not only did we dance and enjoy the beach but some of us got to go cliff jumping (clearly not I since I am afraid what is beyond the deep blue sea), jet skiing, whale watching, rented a boat to do whatever we wanted to for a few hours, pet/hold a jaguar (which my friend actually was bit by the jaguar), meet a celebrity (Brody Jenner)bro-ed out in the bro-cean (bros only) and danced the nights away. All in all it was a wonderful trip! And only . . .



37 days until Studying in Florence, Italy! Cannot believe it is coming up so soon... I know the first weekend trip will be to Cinque Terre:  




*Remember: Travel young and travel often. Take risks and make mistakes and along the way be at peace with that you can only be old and wise if you were young and stupid.

College Weekend 2012

Have you ever been to Las Vegas? What about Pullman, WA, home of the Cougs? Take Vegas and their foreigners who come to visit, add Pullman's winter weather and dedicated college students and boom- you have Whistler. I had never been to Whistler but everyone I talked to before going word for word would say "You have to go, it is something you do not want to miss out on". It was definitely something I had been missing out on. So I rallied up a crew and we began our journey. Stayed three, long, lively nights and went from pub to club, to pub to club, to club to club... and so on. After long nights and intriguing talks with strangers from Norway to Australia I just want to say thank you Dr. King Jr., for giving me a weekend and a experience of a life time.









These are just a few pictures from the social aspect. I wish I would have taken more of the inside of clubs that we went to but I was too busy living than being the snappy happy person I get when I am out and about with a few cocktails engulfed. Whistler is not only just a party town though; its main attraction is Blackcomb and Whistler Mountain, waiting in the winter time for skiers and snowboarders. I did not get a chance to go to the very top of Blackcomb but from the parts that I did snowboard down, my god it was beautiful! BEST Mountain I have ever been on for snowboarding by far! Next time I visit Whistler though it will not be a 'party' vacation but definitely a binge boarding trip along with eating as much as I can. 











Wish I would have gone to the top, but I will save that for another trip. If you do make your way down to Whistler sometime in the near future and are looking for some good eats I suggest you go to Splitz. They have the BEST burgers in town. A little on the expensive side buut you build your own burger from scratch and have over 20 toppings to choose from, totally worth it. Looking for breakfast? Crepe Montagne. Sooo goood! Great hang over cure and the restaurant is a cute, little European getup. Last but not least out of my food recommendations is Fat Tony's Pizza, and no it's not for the pizza. If you like Pita pit you will loveeee the kababs they have there! They are open late too, so after all the bars close, it is the perfect place for your late night munchies!


That is it for now. My next trip will be CABO! Taking six days away from reality and replacing it with paradise with some friends from school. I cannot wait to lay out on the beach and get into the ocean! We have so much planned for this trip so I will have a ton to share! March cannot come any sooner . . .
