June 2011: three week trip to Italy with my mom. We visited Florence, Rome, Venice and the Amalfi Coast. We stayed in a romantic hotel in Positano with an outdoor shower and ate lemons from the lemon trees and olive oil from the olive trees. In Venice, there was some sort of celebration one night with the largest fireworks I had ever seen reflecting on the water - we watched from our window as small boats and gondolas grouped together on the canal to celebrate (lots of clinking of bottles, cheers and laughs in Italian). The fact that we didn't know what was being celebrated made it all the more incredible and surprising!

March 2019: a three-week road trip around Goa and Karnataka, India. It was even more beautiful than I could ever imagine. Midnight swims in the sea with phytoplankton, navigating bustling cities in a small car, going bouldering in the early morning before the sun rose, making the rock too hot to grab. I cannot wait to return.
