<p>While I was moving to college, my family and I stopped for the night in Caliente, Nevada and spent time in Cathedral Gorge State Park. After a long day of driving, it was nice to be able to get out and stretch our legs in such a beautiful area. We were lucky to get there &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/10/28/visiting-cathedral-gorge-state-park-nevada/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Visiting Cathedral G

<p>On the Atlantic coast, one of Moroccan&#8217;s most stunning buildings is nestled in amongst the resorts and office buildings. Finished in 1993, this mosque was the combined work of 10,000 men and boasts both incredible architecture and carefully detailed artwork. It holds over 100,000 people, of which 25,000 fit in the main building and another &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/10/27/hassan-ii-mosque-casablancas-most-gorgeous-sight/" class=

<p>Casablanca was the introduction into my time in Morocco and Northern Africa! Many people fly in and out of the white city on their way to explore the other pieces of the country, such as Fez, Marrakech, Ourrzazate, or Meknes as the flights are usually cheaper. This being said, Casablanca is easily worth the one &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/10/26/a-day-in-casablanca/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">A

<p>A brief summary of the good and bad aspects of traveling with Education First Tours</p>

<p>As a break from our volunteer work in Orbomba, our tiny group hopped on a bus and drove for hours from camp to visit Tarangire National Park. While the Serengeti or Kruger National Park receive plenty of tourists and are exceptionally well known, little known Tarangire has the densest population of elephants, which makes for &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/07/26/going-on-an-african-safari-in-tarangire-national-park/" class="more-link">Cont

<p>My excursions in a Tanzanian market and the lessons I learned about poverty</p>

<p>I have travelled far and wide, and it is easy to say that at the time this article was written, I would claim that Kaua&#8217;i&#8217;s Napali Coast is one of the most gorgeous natural formations I have ever seen. The steep coastline and thick foliage contrasting the turquoise waters form a picturesque view unparalleled by &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/07/15/exploring-the-napali-coast/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="scr

<p>Kōloa is an awesome small town on the south side of the island that hosts many fun things to do. Fortunately, we had the opportunity to go zip lining with Koloa Zipline (the same company also does ATV tours, bass fishing, snorkeling, and other things), which was super fun!

<p>On day four of our awesome trip to Kaua’i, we decided to kayak and hike to the Secret Falls. Originally, we planned to see the Nā Pali coast, but since it was too windy, we had to change our plans. So we grabbed our swimsuits and sunscreen and headed to the river, which is on &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/05/27/kayaking-the-wailua-river-to-secret-falls-that-arent-so-secret/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-t

<p>Spending time with the Maasai people and their culture underneath the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the best experiences of my life to date. I was first welcomed into their arms during my travels to Tanzania, where I spent time developing a primary school in the rural savannah.&nbsp;As a result of my time &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/05/18/my-experience-with-the-maasai/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-rea

<p>Settling by the ocean and the cities of Kaua&#8217;i is a massive canyon and mountain range. The Waimea Canyon, nicknamed the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific,” is a gaping gorge at the western end of the island and provides plenty of opportunity for hiking, exploring, and adventuring. It is about ten miles long, one mile &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/05/17/hiking-in-waimea-canyon/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-read

<p>A summary of our experience staying in Kōloa Landing at Po&#8217;ipū in Kaua&#8217;i, Hawai&#8217;i during our week long stay</p>

<p>Growing up in the Pacific Northwest (PNW) has offered many opportunities to explore the wilderness around me. I have seen forests, rivers, lakes, and all sorts of natural wonders throughout all of my life, but one I have thoroughly enjoyed and returned to is Kootenai Falls. The falls is part of the Kootenai River and &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/04/11/kootenai-falls-montana/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader

<p>Tombstone is a very unique place that lives in a constant balance of their historic past and modern day life. Originally founded by Ed Schieffelin, it is easy to find a broad mix of legend and truth and there is plenty of historic sights to spend hours touring.

<p>Bisbee is easily one of my favorite places in Arizona for many reasons. There is so much to do and see even though it is relatively small and the people are exceptionally friendly. It is packed with history and beauty (street art is huge here!), yet for some reason doesn’t get overwhelmed with tourism, which &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/04/01/bisbee-arizona/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Bisbee, Ar

<p>Tucson, Arizona is a fantastic place to get a glimpse of Arizona and the desert without the overwhelming rush (and heat!) of Phoenix. Personally, I prefer it over Phoenix and all the nearby cities. It is clean, urban, and accessible. On nearly any trip to Arizona, I have always landed in Tucson and explored in &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/04/01/tucson-arizona/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-text">Tucson,

<p>My overwhelmingly fun, but terrifying experience with an old Italian tradition</p>

<p>My mixed feelings towards this old city and recommendations for what to do and see during your visit</p>

<p>Often overlooked by Venice or Verona, this city of 200,000 people was founded around 1183 BCE and is rich in detail and history. It&#8217;s home to many cafés, markets, and even a university. There are so many historical sights, beautiful views, and gorgeous pieces of art scattered throughout the city that it is hard to &hellip; <a href="https://acriminologistabroad.wordpress.com/2019/03/10/padua-padova-italy/" class="more-link">Continue reading <span class="screen-reader-
