Walking the Dubrovnik City Walls
Dubrovnik, Croatia is one of those cities that has absolutely onto the tourist scene within the last 5 years, thanks to the now infamous show "Game of Thrones" which is filmed in this ancient Croatian city. Walking the city walls is one of the most famous activities in Dubrovnik and you can see what my experience was like in less than 2 minutes!
Where to Eat and Drink in San Diego, California
My Semester at Sea voyage leaves out of San Diego in only a few days, and I am SO excited to head back to this gorgeous city. I visited a friend in San Diego earlier this year and ate some seriously awesome food. I'll definitely be eating at a few of these spots again (looking at you Galaxy Taco!) for some last minute Mexican food before leaving the US!

Eating My Way Through London's Borough Market
Despite recent events in London, I wouldn't change a thing about my latest trip. Borough Market remains a highlight from my time in England's capital city and I would happily go back to eat, mingle and remember. Travel is about exploring new places, learning from one another and meeting people different than yourself. It breaks down the barriers that divide us, and I truly believe that it has never been more important to travel. We must persist, we must live our lives and no one understands that more than the Brits. Let us build bridges not walls.
