Namaste from Delhi! Power duo Miranda and Lily write to you after a long day of scavenger hunting around the city…with bellies very full. Turns out that asking for just a chai translates to bringing us two full plates of food (which is just fine by us). Our adventures today have given us a small taste of the journey we have ahead; friendly people, bright colors, and all sorts of… Read More
Hello! It's Cat, Madeline and Monica here. After some very tiresome flight travel, we were driven to our hostel in unmarked taxis. We've encountered and shared rooms with many people from all over the world at the hostel already.
We went to these botanical gardens, and found a jungle instead! All the trees look so different. So many monkeys were there, and a few kind stray dogs. We had a… Read More
After 2 days of traveling, we finally made it to our hostel in Entebbe, Uganda! We have spent the past few days getting to know one another, doing orientation, and exploring this awesome place.
The town here is filled with a lot of curious locals, cute monkeys, and super red dirt! Our first day here we spent getting accommodated to using steripens, drinking warm water, and sweating yourself to sleep… Read More

We have been exploring Quito all day, and we like what we´ve been seeing so far! We trekked up the Basilica del Voto Nacional, which has over 200 steps to the top. From the top, we could see all of Quito and even el Panecillo! We had the chance to try an empanada at one of the cafes and the jury is still out. The weather is absolutely beautiful, and… Read More
Today me and Caroline got to explore the town on our own. We did a scavenger hunt. We went to a church, had lunch and will soon go chill at a park. Everything here is so different than back at home. I have noticed things such as what is served with just about every meal like, eggs, fruit, rice or tomatos. The food here is amazing. So much I wish… Read More
Hi everyone! Sunteaohna and I have been exploring Quito today on our scavenger hunt. Its a really amazing city and weve had a lot of fun navigating around.

I wish I could post a photo, but I dont… Read More
Jake and I are currently exploring Quito with our scavenger list in hand! So far, our favorite thing we have seen has been the Basilica del Voto Nacional. It was so beautiful, both inside and out. We took a photo in front of it, which we sadly cannot upload because we don't have a cord š We are looking forward to stumbling our way through the rest of Quito and,… Read More
Salutations from somewhere between Singapore and Delhi! It's been exactly 51 hours since we disembarked from San Francisco International Airport, new friends in the making. Since then, we've encountered several unexpected adventures. Little did we know as we boarded our first flight at 12:05 am on Wednesday, that Singapore airlines would become our best friend and our worst enemy. After arriving in Hong Kong, we got off our plane and… Read More
The hostel (Hostal Nim Sut) is AWESOME! So far we´ve been exploring the street food scene, and we´re lovin´it – tacos, pupusas, avocados, and mangos galore! So far the group dynamic is excellent, and we´re gelling like….jello? Our leaders, however…are super weird and nerdy. It is quite a bit colder than we expected here in the Guatemalan highlands, so we´ve been sharing one bed to conserve heat (kidding, obviously). We´re… Read More
