Imagine an eerie but incredible parallel universe like something out of a Christopher Nolan film. That’s what Australia is like compared to the U.S. Everything is exactly the opposite. The lights switches flip the opposite way for on/off, cars drive on the opposite side of the road, and the driver’s side is on the right (wrong) side of the car. The seasons are opposite, Celsius and the metric system are used, the toilet flushes differently,...
One fateful February, after a mere fourteen hours on a plane, coupled with a Melatonin appetizer and two in-flight meals that were presumably baked pigeon, I found myself on the other side of the world. Like Marty McFly, I basically time-traveled, losing a full twenty-four hours when we crossed the international dateline. On my flight, I chatted with two brothers near my age, who helped pass the time. Then, two days after arriving in Auckland,...

Imagine after days of magic and adventure in theme parks you get to watch a rocket launch right before your eyes! The best part is, to catch a rocket launch close up, it will only take about an hour to drive to the coast where there are many...

I’m Kaitlyn, also known as Kate, also known as a visual artist, jack of all trades, (master of pun), and a globetrotter, as in world traveler, because I'm shockingly bad at basketball. Some have said that I am the most organized, spontaneous person they've ever met, and it's a well-known fact that I'm serious about good humor. Basically, I’m a living, breathing cartoon character, always walking with a...

Come along as we learn how rum is made and even get to taste a variety of Hawaiian rums! Where to Find the Rum!
