"Traveling - it leaves you speechless, then turns you into a storyteller." - Ibn Battuta

The world is big until you travel. Then it becomes increasingly smaller as you store up people and places inside of yourself.

Hi! I'm Megan. To give a brief snapshot, I have inside of me...

...the warm smiles of Guatemalan children, refried beans and black bean tortillas, joyful worship services in a language I don't fully understand, impatient airport experiences, sunshine lighting up the colorful walls of Antigua...

The well-known picture of the arch in Antigua

...fairy tale castles and snow-capped mountains, Wurstsalat and freshly-baked pretzels, folk fests filled with colorful Dirndls and Lederhosen, my German "family," a language that I learned and love...

My German family and me!

...and even historic and natural sites, city and country atmospheres, new and already loved places in the United States.

Though I began this blog in high school, I am now a 20-something who is working a full-time job and still finding time to travel. My top priority is mission trips, but I do travel to sight see and adventure, as well.

As I read on Pinterest...Good things come to those who book flights (or take road trips)!

Shall we adventure together?

Thailand 2017: Falling in Love with ZOE

A place where broken children become whole through the love of Jesus and lonely children become part of a family. Where hope is restored and hurts healed. Where a new chance at life blooms. Where laughter echoes through open air hallways and smiles grow. It's a beautiful place of beautiful people, and it's a place that I fell in love with. It's ZOE International.  PC: ZOE From stepping onto the plane August 15 to stepping off on August 27, I went on a short term mission trip to Thailand through ZOE International. When I left for the trip, I had no idea what to expect, and all I really knew about ZOE was that they work to prevent child trafficking, rescue children, and help them through the restoration process. I had heard about it through one of their missionary couples who spoke twice at the church I started attending a couple of years ago.  I was not prepared for all that ZOE is: children so happy, loved and at home that you would never know their past; am

Durham 2020: Visiting Jaden

It was to be a cold weekend in Pennsylvania, with snow forecast for Saturday. Thankfully, I was going to North Carolina. That meant waking up very, very  early in the morning Friday, January 17 in order to make my 6 AM flight from Philadelphia airport. It was also my first time traveling solo, my first time traveling in a season besides summer, and my first time having already checked in online for my flight. Travel Tip: Check in online! Whether you print out your ticket or have it on your phone, it cuts out a major chunk of time and streamlines your flight process by skipping the long lines at the desk. I was also using my beautiful new, blue carry-on suitcase, with 360 wheels. (The best part? I got it for free at my work banquet!). It definitely made walking through the airport smoother, especially standing in lines. Of course, it was a tiny plane, so my suitcase got gate-checked, which is pretty handy anyway. What a short flight! There was barely time for the flight attendan

Germany 2015 - June 23

Tuesday was a long day.  We met at the school at 6:45 and the seniors (the grade of kids who came over to the US through GAPP last spring) were there early getting ready for their water attack on the other students (it was when the graduating seniors had their "crazy-day").  We saw several of the Germans who had come over. The bus ride to Neuschwanstein was horrendous.  The traffic was so bad through München (Munich) that we were driving for about an extra hour, so instead of three hours, it was four.  Yuck!  I listened to music almost the entire ride there. Finally we arrived, and it started to drizzle a bit as we waited for those who needed to use the bathroom (and public bathrooms, or the "WC," in Germany almost always cost 50 cents to use), but then, thankfully, it cleared up and we didn't have any rain the rest of the day.  Then some went to wait in line for a horse and carriage to take them up to the castle, and the rest of us walked.  Cassandra and I
