New York, New York!

Posted on by Dr. Lewis
Sometimes when people think of *Travel* and vacations, they think about international destinations or places near a beach. However, a quick weekend getaway to a nearby state can be just as fulfilling as going out of the country or laying out in the sun. I took a trip to New York City, New York to see Drake but I also made time to explore the city as well. I've been to NYC a number of times and every time that I've gone, I've seen a different part of the city. This time, I spent part of the day walking through the...Read More

So when people ask how I manage to travel so much, sometimes, I'm traveling for business and refuse to be...Read More

Mi visita a Cartagena

Posted on by Dr. Lewis
On May 30, 2018, I flew out for a week trip to Cartagena, Colombia and it was nothing short of amazing. Aside from the long customs line when entering the country, the entire trip was truly smooth sailing even though we barely spoke any Spanish (they were super patient with us and the Google Translate app was a lifesaver. Also shoutout to T-Mobile for holding me down). If you've never been to Cartagena and are looking to go, the first thing you'll notice is the humidity.
