This was my first year at the New York Comic Con and I took a depressingly small amount of pictures. It was jam packed, hot, and a little confusing, but it was a lot of fun. We went with a plan, which didn't really work out, but we were okay with that. I got to talk … Continue reading New York Comic Con 2014

DC Vegfest 2014
This past Saturday was the DC Vegfest sponsored by Compassion Over Killing. I only realized it the Monday before, so it was a wonderful surprise and a totally spur of the moment trip. The day was a total blast and even though it was a bit hot, the weather was beautiful. It's been announced that there … Continue reading DC Vegfest 2014

Bethlehem VegFest 2014
It's been a week since this year's Bethlehem VegFest and I'm already excited about next year. Just like last year, being in a place where you know everything is vegan and nothing is off limits is an amazing feeling. There was no walking around looking for a place that sold only salads or veggies, or possibly a … Continue reading Bethlehem VegFest 2014
Japan Day 4: Asakusa Shrine and Travel to Mishima
Today I left Miriam's and headed to Sensoji, a Buddhist temple. I was nervous to be off on my own, but had this new found sense of courage. The temple and shrine were gorgeous. I could just sit there and think all day. I still can't believe I'm here and doing this. The whole thing is … Continue reading Japan Day 4: Asakusa Shrine and Travel to Mishima
Japan Day 3: Onsen and Sushi
Yesterday was a bit more excitement than I was hoping for. Today Miriam and I tried to plan a calmer day. She made sure I ate breakfast (a great host!), I had tea and a kind of rice cake. It wasn't as good as the mochi, it was kind of plain, but not bad. … Continue reading Japan Day 3: Onsen and Sushi

I also learned how to use the fancy toilets, haha. Miriam teaches English here, and she had to teach all … Continue reading Japan Day 2: Yoyogi Park
First Night in Japan
I'm finally here! Today I traveled to Takanobaba Station. I'm really proud of myself for successfully getting to my first meeting spot without getting lost. I got there a while before I was supposed to meet Miriam, so I walked over to the McDonalds and got a coffee. Yes, when overwhelmed and scared, I ran … Continue reading First Night in Japan
Heading to Japan
I was so excited and nervous all at the same time. Mom dropped me off at the airport around 3am. There wasn't a soul in sight. I pretty much walked right through security and hung out at the gate. On the first flight from Harrisburg to Newark, there were a lot of people headed to … Continue reading Heading to Japan
Japan
I've decided to take a trip to Japan. It's been too long since I've been exploring in another country and I can't put it off any longer. I'm not sure why Japan. It came to me and I thought why not? The whole process of planning the trip has taken about 3 weeks. Talk about … Continue reading Japan
