Let me tell you: the last few weeks have been pretty intense. Since July, I feel like there has been a lot of change, a lot of growth, and a lot of questions along my path.

It has been one of my dreams to go to Japan and visit this crazy amazing culture that gave us the likes of sushi, anime, and Harajuko girls.

In a blink of an eye Christmas is here and I’m drinking tea in my Family’s house in New Jersey. Looking back now, I am very lucky to have traveled so much this year. With the cold weather now at my doorstep, I was reminded of my trip to Harbin at the beginning of this year.
This scenic spot is most well known for its stunning mountains that jet up from the land, each one unique and different.

This past winter break I visited Thailand for a month. I first traveled with my mom and my auntie and then switched gears and traveled with my good friend John. This time gave me time to enjoy with my mom and sightsee while also traveling to many locations and partying with friends. Out of all of my travels here are the things I say you must absolutely do!

December 14th will mark the official date of my three month mark in China! Yeah it has been three months… I am still frequenting the small coffee shop in Hongkou called Waterfish during my lunch breaks. And here I am sitting and reminiscing about a small day trip I took about a month ago with my roommate James. We planned to visit Hangzhou, despite the weather telling us that it was going to be miserable that day.

I close my eyes and I open them again. I still cannot believe it has been a month since I arrived in China. Things have been a complete whirlwind, a complete blur. Right now I am sitting down in a small coffee shop across the street from one of the schools I work at, drinking hot water and reminiscing on some of the trips I’ve taken within this first month.

As some of you might know I have accepted a job offer in Shanghai, China to teach English for a year (10 months to be exact). So now I am sitting in a hotel room in Shanghai writing about my first thoughts of the city and what not. But before that I should explain the process in case any of you are ever interested in doing something like this (which if you are in your 20s why not?).

As an April baby myself, I think it is one of the best months of the year: spring showers, flowers start to bloom, days get warmer, school's almost out, bikini season is almost here, and well it’s my birthday (which I celebrate all month). Another reason April is amazing is that it hosts one of the biggest environmental awareness days: Earth Day. The environmental movement has been around for quite some time now, and it celebrates nature and motivates people to learn about their environment and how they can do better.

Costa Rica has many places to visit and each region is absolutely different. It has dry forest and cloud forest, beaches and rivers, wetlands and estuaries. All of these areas have unique sights, fauna, and flora to offer its visitors. My first trip to sightsee in Costa Rica was to Quepos in the province of Puntarenas. This area is known for being in close proximity to Manuel Antonio National Park, the smallest national park in Costa Rica.

As many of you know I am currently living and working in Costa Rica. My job involves working with sea turtles and living in a remote location with a group of people. As the days pass, I have come to the conclusion that there are some essential items that I cannot do without. With that being said here is a list of these top items to bring if you ever decide to work at a turtle project (or perhaps camp out at the beach).

So here I am two weeks into my internship in Caletas, Costa Rica working with sea turtles and I am absolutely loving it! Don’t get me wrong it’s long hours and hard work, but it’s all that I wanted and then some. Since I will be mostly here for a while I thought I would break up my posts into something a little different: I will do posts mostly about the work that I am doing here and how to live remotely in a sustainable fashion (thinking of my friend Suzie here).

So if you haven’t read part one you might want to take a look. But I will start where I left off which is a small vineyard in St. Emilion. We woke up early and headed downstairs for our cute little breakfast that was offered to us by our amazing hostess. We laughed about all the craziness that happened the night before, we hoped that there was more time to explore around, and we planned our day in Bordeaux.

There is nothing better than taking a weekend to do nothing but explore new cities, drink good wine, and talk about anything and everything with your girls. I mean, I would choose no other amazing group of people to travel the countryside of France with that this group of girls.
