Around the world in 91 days

Narita, Japan

And just like that, 11 hours later, my first and last (for a while) business class flight comes to an end. Sad to see you go, but it was great while it lasted. Don't forget about me!

Copenhagen, Denmark

Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:53:31 +0200

39 hours and counting until I get to fly home. But meanwhile, in Copenhagen...

Finally going home. Copenhagen -> SFO, 11 hours. Oh, this is going to be brutal, lol.

Oxford, United Kingdom

Mon, 25 Jul 2016 21:14:08 +0100

Watching from my room as the cute baby deer run around the college's deer park.

Seeing Shakespeare's Two Gentlemen of Verona at the Bodleian Library, and they put the bar in Hogwarts' infirmary. Madam Pomfrey would throw a fit!

London, United Kingdom

Sun, 24 Jul 2016 12:45:33 +0100

Got a view slightly stage left in the front. Macbeth starts in 15 minutes. Quite excited to see it in the round.

The London Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir in an AMAZING venue, presents Beethoven's 9th Symphony!

Dublin, Ireland

Wed, 20 Jul 2016 17:45:32 +0100

My time in Ireland has come to an end. Heading back to Oxford to study my brains out =/

Waterford, Ireland

Tue, 19 Jul 2016 14:28:32 +0100

Just finished a tour of the Waterford Crystal Factory. Bottom left is the 2017 People's Choice Awards that they've already started on.

Clifden, Ireland

Sun, 17 Jul 2016 00:30:29 +0100

The dead-end road to my hostel at 10pm. I checked in and immediately booked a second night. What an incredible place, and the hostel is right next to the river, surrounded by gorgeous scenery, in the middle of nowhere.

Limavady, United Kingdom

Sat, 16 Jul 2016 17:41:07 +0100

Checking in from Malin Head, it's cold with all cloudy skies and winds at about 60mph. Travis Cook, local correspondent. Now back to the studio.

Portrush, United Kingdom

Thu, 14 Jul 2016 18:32:27 +0100

Spent the whole day driving the Causeway Coastal Route and stopping along the way to hike, see the sights, and take it all in. It's crazy how many amazing things there are to see here!

You know, just going for a walk. Along the King's Road! #gameofthrones

Belfast, United Kingdom

Tue, 12 Jul 2016 16:53:30 +0100

I found The Twins! #gameofthrones

Found a fantastic little cottage on the water on Airbnb. With a great view of the Irish Sea.

I made it to the North! Hello from Winterfell! #gameofthrones

Just minding my own business on the couch, planning the next few days, and look who shows up.

Dublin, Ireland

Sun, 10 Jul 2016 17:19:52 +0100

Glad I waited for lunch. "Signature" beef and Guinness stew.

Nothing more need be said.

When in Rome.

And the adventure begins!

Wexford, Ireland

Sun, 10 Jul 2016 09:31:51 +0100

Been travelling through the night. Officially in Ireland. Now an empty train (for now at least) to Dublin.

Oxford, United Kingdom

Wed, 29 Jun 2016 22:02:30 +0100

I love being back here, such an amazing campus.

When you're surrounded by such history and phenomenal architecture, a walk to get dinner is a privelege.

Doing my studying in the Hogwarts library today. Nice and quiet.

Lotsa reading and writing in the last and next 36 hours, to take lotsa time off for Ireland... #amithereyet

London, United Kingdom

Tue, 28 Jun 2016 13:26:32 +0100

If given the option, ALWAYS pay or withdraw with a card in local currency, let your bank convert. Just saved $34 for knowing which button to press.

Brussels, Belgium

Fri, 24 Jun 2016 21:58:20 +0200

I finally get to use my rain jacket! Hooray for cooler weather!!

Met a friendly horse, found Belgian waffles, then proceeded to order my own with everything on it. Good day so far. Probably gonna watch the Belgium game tonight, cause, you know.

Berlin, Germany

Mon, 20 Jun 2016 06:59:52 +0200

The city is finally starting to wake. Good Morning, Berlin!

Don't ask me what it's called.

Who can guess what this old structure is?? I never would have gotten it...

Germany is in the European Championships, so off course there's a watching party in Berlin.

Germany is in the European Championships, so of course there's a watching party in Berlin.

The passive, yet powerful Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe lies between east and west Berlin. 2,711 massive stone slabs, unique in size and shape, yet suffering the same fate. As designed, the labyrinth amongst the steles helps one feel the loss and disorientation they endured.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

Thu, 16 Jun 2016 22:34:07 +0400

Let's get this over with...

Lunch during Ramadan = only eating in the blocked off food court.

Waiting to go up until sunset. And starving at the same time...

You know, when the clock strikes 3:47, it's time to... put the prayer chant on the mall intercom.

Waiting for the cannon to sound so I can start dinner and drink! #whoputthattreethere #burjkhalifa #SCULawAbroad #dubai

The cannon has sounded, dinner has begun, just waiting for the fountain show.

Dinner and a view and a show.

Love the music! #dubaifountain

It's 4am, but I'm stoked to leave the heat and be in Europe for a while! #europehereicome #byefelicia #SCULawAbroad

Manila, Philippines

Thu, 16 Jun 2016 14:44:21 +0800

Landed in Manila, but only to leave for Dubai in 3 hrs. Long, budget, no-frills flight. Doubt they have outlets.

Sweet, got my own row for 9 hrs!

Boracay Island, Philippines

Wed, 15 Jun 2016 11:13:09 +0800

What happens when you use your laptop on the plane when they tell you not to...

Let the hot pot begin!

1.5 hour immigration line and we're in the country!

Goodbye, goodbye! Parting is such sweet sorrow, that I shall say goodbye til it be morrow. [Exit Singapore, from above.]
