I had a conversation with a friend from work today about Seattle drivers and how courteous they are. In general, everyone drives at a normal pace (especially in comparison to East Coasters like myself), they give plenty of room for the car in front of them, and they usually let you change lanes in front…
So it has been a long time since I wrote anything on this blog. That was primarily due to the fact that most of the places I was travelling in Africa didnt have Internet or it was very slow. Now that I am back in Seattle and working on Windows Live Spaces, I am going…
As anyone that has talked to me about travel knows, London ranks in my top ten favorite cities in the world for good reasons. However, for some reason this trip, I kept noticing things about London (and England in general) that I dont understand. Since I am holed up at the Hilton on a layover,…

The community aspect there is huge and after you have been helped out…
I am taking a little study break from my Money Markets and the Fed exam studying and decided to quickly express my feelings on how pumped I am for Spring Break. Myself and 12 friends are headed to Aspen for a week of skiing (think snow) and then 15 of us are headed to Acapulco where…
What a nice way to wake up to a snowy Sunday morning, then reading an article from the Washington Post about the Rwandan gorilla trekking expedition that I am taking after school finishes up at the end of June. We are going to spend three days tracking the gorillas and are going to the…
