Far From Home and Checking In!

Hey there Rambler's!

As you know, I'm not home this week or the next but rather am writing this post from some other magical part of the world. I had intended on posting something oh so insightful about travel this week, I got rather distracted enjoying cake with two of my three roommates in the hostel I am currently residing in. This is actually the first trip I stay in hostels and I must say, I'm truly enjoying the experience. It has been so very nice meeting new people from all over the world, discussing where we have been, and where we are going, what prompted our respective trips, and what sights are worth seeing.

If you have never given hostels a try, I recommend it. I have met all ages and walks of life in the two I have stayed in so far, and have enjoyed many great new experiences because of it. What's more, they are definitely far more budget friendly than some other options out there and you learn a lot more about the local hot spots from many different perspectives as people rotate in and out. Everyone has new information and stories to share, and everyone is a potential new friend.

Anyway, that's this week's spiel on the go, stay tuned for the big reveal of where I have been visiting, what places I recommend traveling to, and what tips and tricks I have discovered while backpacking for the first time.

Cheers!

Keep Calm and Carry On My Wayward Son

What is it about a crisis, big or small, that makes us panic and freak out? Why does the unknown cause our hearts to beat faster and the little people in our brains to yell “Abort! Abort!” as they hit the big red self-destruct button? I’ve seen people jumping up and down freaking out about a little stove fire, completely forgetting the need to put it out, let alone the how.  I’ve seen those afraid of the dark forget they own candles and flashlights the moment the lights start to flicker.  I’ve seen a sober person at a party panicking as they try to locate someone to drive an injured individual to the hospital, completely forget that they themselves are qualified to drive.  The solutions are staring them in the face but they are momentarily reduced to the same frozen response a deer suffers when caught in the headlights.  A person can be the most level headed, logical person you’ve ever met, they could even be the most prepared for a situation, but w...

A Bra Among Bros

So if you’re like me, you probably tend to hang around guys more than you do girls.  Contrary to what other girls may think, this has nothing to do with being promiscuous or trying to pick up. Alright, for some of you it might be, and in such cases have fun.  Honestly who am I to judge, it’s your body and your decision to do with it as you please.  This is the twenty first century and the double standard of guys being labeled heroes while girls are being labeled as sluts is a concept that really does need to be fed to a pool of starving piranhas. Destroy the mindset.  Everyone is human, everyone has needs, and if everyone involved is of age and it isn’t hurting anyone… why should it be anyone else’s business? Back on point, guys are usually just easier to get along with (Though there are always a small group of female exceptions).  The conversations are more often than not less dramatic, the friendships are easier to maintain, and you have less necessity ...

Recharging Your Social

If you're an introvert, you know what it's like to be peopled-out. While I am one of those few people who is evenly distributed between being an introvert and an extrovert, I often find that working in public service results in a higher need for me to set hanging out with friends aside in order to recharge my social batteries. Extroverts sometimes have difficulty understanding this need as they try to present the fact that they are low maintenance/really easy going, or just want to do something relaxing together. In their mind, watching a movie with them is no different than watching a movie alone as there would be little communication going on anyway. While it is true that some people are easier to be around in certain moods, sometimes a need to recharge means a need to be completely alone with yourself for a while.  For an introvert, or someone with introvert tendencies, being tired doesn't always mean you are sleepy, it means you are emotionally drained in t...
