Desert of Maine in Freeport. This year’s trip was actually somewhat planned out beforehand. Planning is, surprisingly, not a bad thing. During all our previous trips, we always somehow missed out on Maine, be it due to bad weather or just unable to find anything of interest to...
Grave with a window in New Haven, VT Yet another trip that wasn’t finalized until the last minute. This almost turned into a trip to Virginia, actually. We were up way too late, we hadn’t packed yet, we had work early in the morning, and on top of...

The Carranza Monument I had wanted to put together some sort of trip for quite some time, but due to my extreme shyness and lack of order, I never really got around to it. I usually don’t plan out my trips; I just leave and hope I see...
