Tales & Tips from a Rambling Renegade
November 15, 2016 Greetings from Toledo! A choir of voices ring from my memory, “you can do Toledo in a day.” This was the common sentiment among the travelers I met before I ventured to the petite city of Toledo, Spain. “You can do Toledo in a day.” The longer I reflect on these words [...]
The yellow busses are rolling and the brown bags packing, it's back to school time. Buckle up Buttercups because boy do I have a story about what happened over my summer break. A tad early in the semester to call in sick, so I'll have to tell y'all over a different type of cold, ice [...]
Hi there! I think it’s time I answer the most important question facing our world: “Are we human? Or are we dancer?” Just kidding obviously that's a rhetorical question. (Dancer duh.) But!

Hey y'all I'm verging on six months into my eight month adventure around the world. I know generally write about places I've been, but today I'm writing about the place where my heart and soul is.

Incoming all the Beatles puns you could ever want... and probably some that you don't. After Manchester I had a, Ticket to Ride, and I decided to Carry that Weight, of Bernice to Liverpool. If you are wondering how long the travel time is from Manchester, It Won't be Long, just about an hour by train. Still in [...]
Ahhh England, oh how I've missed you! A country where as long as the left feels right you know you won't get hit by a double decker bus as you cross the street. So where exactly in the isle of Ello mate did my plane touchdown? None other than Manchester! Why Manchester? Well in my [...]
