About

"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?

California 2018: Open Heavens and San Francisco

Seven years of waiting. Seven years...and I finally was on my way to California. More specifically, I was finally going out to a Bethel conference in Redding, CA, by way of San Francisco. Along with my friend Miranda, we were ready for our short four-day adventure October 3-6. I couldn't believe that I could get to Guatemala faster then I could California. Seriously, what is up with that? (At least the way home was a 1/2 hour shorter than the US-Guate flight.) We arrived at San Francisco airport, got our rental car (a much fancier one than either of us owns ourselves), and set the GPS for La Quinta Inn and Suites, Redding, and started driving. The landscape along the highway fascinated me. Such dry, golden-brown hills with dark green trees that stood out like little black dots from a distance and looked out of place up close. When we got to a stretch of very flat land for a good hundred miles at least, varying between dusty dry grass and some sort of tree farms (were they al...

Guatemala 2018: Dirt Roads and 200 Cheeseburgers

It was a flawless blue-sky day as we drove out to Yalu once again, over two very bad dirt roads as we got closer to the village. Back at the school there for the third year, seeing the walls that we painted two different shades of blue two years ago, the youth did their skit once again. The kids really enjoyed doing Allelu Allelu with us, especially when they realized they should be trying to out-sing (yell!) the other half when it was their turn! Then, we played a crazy game of Sharks and Minnows with hundreds of excited children!! It was a crazy wave of little Guatemalans swarming us Americans. The kids watching the skit To shorten a long story, we had gotten a very late start in the morning and didn't have time to actually do physical labor for them, but we did see the location of where we at least left the supplies we had brought to build a chicken coop. It was a tiny little area where a family lives up along a hillside. It was the wife's idea to raise chic...
