I know this is pretty random…but I also know a LOT of you are constantly on etsy and customink and redbubble always looking for cool fandom-related stuff. I personally LOVE redbubble and I can’t ever find decent coupons for anything other than stickers… BUT I just got an email from Redbubble with a 1 day […]
After getting back my Passport from the Congolese Embassy, I immediately turned it around and sent it out to the correct location for an NJ resident looking for an Egyptian Visa, the Egyptian Consulate in NYC. It went in the mail on Tuesday, September 8th. I mailed it in a flatrate priority envelope from USPS, […]
The idea of having to get an International Driving Permit has always been intimidating to me. It brings back memories of drivers’ ed, an on-the-course driving test, and a heart-wrenching, hours long exam. It’s because of these associations that I’d never even so much as looked into getting my International Driving Permit, even though I’ve traveled […]
Whenever anyone asks me how long this trip is going to be, I always respond with the same two pronged answer. It’s: “I’ll be back when I get lonely or I run out of money!” That said, being conscientious about how much I’m spending and what I’m spending it on, which includes what types of […]
Before I get into the cancellation process at Crunch, I DO want to mention that before I cancelled, I DID check to see if they had international locations, because I would have 100% kept my membership if there was any chance I’d work out even once or twice a month while abroad. Sadly, Crunch has […]
Since my DRC visa has been handled, which was the one I was most stressed out about (Egypt just goes to NYC, which is only a 45 minute drive if I have to head in and grab it in person), it was time to book my flight. I’ve been checking out flights over and over […]
I GOT MY VISA! My AMAZING friend Monica grabbed my passport from my mailbox on Saturday and we just met for coffee and the passport handoff… and my visa is in there!!!!! Now to tackle Egypt, part 2…. That is all. 🙂
The visa saga continues…. I headed to Washington, DC last night so that I could “pop in” to the Congolese Embassy and see if I could just get my passport (with visa) back in hand, as I’ve heard horror stories about the Embassy just hanging on to passports in drawers for weeks… Well, last night […]
In my 28 years, I’ve traveled quite a lot. That said, I’ve never before had to be vaccinated before I’ve gone anywhere. I’ve had my usual US mandated vaccinations in order to attend public school and college… but never specifically for travel purposes. Before I was even planning this trip, I had spoken at length […]
I’ve recently been investigating ways to freelance and make an extra bit of cash before and after my trip, and I came across Usertesting.com. The concept is actually pretty simple — apps and websites frequently need human testers to try out their functions and features before they launch or update. Usertesting.com connects these companies with […]
