Freshly returned from my travels in South Italy, I reflect on the beautiful places I visited, but also on how to go beyond the beauty to forge deep, meaningful connections with your destinations.
After cycling across Morocco and Spain, I'm heading back to sea aboard Columbia University's research vessel to study the ocean, explore the seafloor, and investigate our planet!
Italy is known for its wonderful cuisine, and I was able to try a lot of it when I went to Venice! From pasta and pizza to the classic gelato, every dish offered a new connection to Italian culture.
I tried authentic German pretzels and falafel döners recently while in Berlin! These food items can be found all around Germany and are staples of the culture.
Cycling through Spain, I've explored ancient Roman roads, milestones, bridges, and the city of Mérida to discover how Roman engineering still shapes the way we travel today.
