In a few days, I’ll heading off to Lisbon, Portugal and making my way through Portugal and Spain for two weeks, which might sound familiar if you read my last blog post. Spain and Portugal tend to be around 50 to 60 degrees (Fahrenheit) during the day around this time of the year, and can…

What Being a Camp Counselor Has Taught Me
“You give me booty and I’ll give you dollars.” “I have a girlfriend. And we already kissed on the lips.” This came from a six-year-old. “I didn’t poop all day today!” Sentences like these are quite the norm at summer camp. All you can do is sigh or smile, and nod along. Maybe you try…
