(Now, technically we did not go to Isengard, because that was filmed on the South Island- Paradise Valley, Glenorchy- and we were on the North Island, but it’s funny so I’m keeping it) I absolutely adored New Zealand. We road tripped along the North Island for a week(?) and then went and house sat for…

I loved Australia. We stayed in Cairns, which was pretty close to the ocean and the Daintree. Roland and Wren had gone back to their mom’s house after Thailand, so this month it was just us. Since there were fewer of us, we housesat instead of renting an AirBnB. Our housesit had the cutest little…

Thailand was pretty cool, the temples were gorgeous, but I don’t think it was as amazing as some of the other places we’ve been. Our house was huge and the people who cleaned it were super sweet. Even though we weren’t there for Christmas, we were there very close to Christmas- (End of November-Beginning of…

Cambodia has been my very favorite place we’ve gone to. A lot of the people, (despite not being the most developed country), speak amazing English and they’re all very sweet. I was a little nervous about Cambodia because I knew I was going to have to share a room with all four of my siblings,…

I kind of forgot to write a post for the entire time we were in Vietnam. I was too involved. So, this is one big one to make up for it.It was lovely there, it felt nicer than Bali, the water was warmer, the traffic was better, and I think it’s just overall cooler. My…

I love Bali, it’s beautiful, warm, humid, the people are nice, the traffic is… traffic. I do really enjoy the traffic though. I like sitting in the front (which I’ve only gotten to do once) and watching the scooters weave through the cars. One wrong move and there would be a ten car, fifty scooter…

I love Bali, I know I haven’t exactly been anywhere else, but until I do, I’m gonna agree with Wren and say that Bali is the “best place on earth!” We’ve gone to a water park since my last entry and you best believe that’s what this entry is gonna be about. For the actual…

So, being in Bali has been pretty cool. I’ve started learning Indonesian on Duolingo and I’ve been getting really excited when I see words I know on signs or food packaging. Roland and I have a separate house from the littles and the parents. It’s small and not air-conditioned, but we have a cool outdoor…

So, don’t get me wrong, I’m super excited about traveling the world. However, being an eighth grader and having to leave my close friends and my boyfriend for six months at a time, is understandably stressful. Especially considering that our communication is going to be limited, due to the time difference and screen limitations. I…
