Am I in Berlin or Australia?

Berlin- capital of Germany. Who doesn't love Berlin? The city is filled with rich history and different types of

I went to Berlin for the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis concert and had to take advantage of sightseeing that had to be done.

Liebe Hamburg

Time has been flying right past me here in Hamburg, I've already been here for a month! Everyday I think I'm living a dream because oddly enough, I haven't had a dream since I left Chicago. I must be living the dream :) 

Oktoberfest 2013

O'zapft! It's the time of year where all of Germany and various other countries celebrate the biggest Bayern tradition - Oktoberfest. The 16 day celebration is mainly celebrated in Munich but with Germans, Oktoberfest is everywhere! I took advantage of the occasion and wore a traditional german Drindl. 

Willkommen in Hamburg!

Finally, I'm in Germany! I don't know where to begin. Ahh yes, JET LAG. The 7 hour difference was killing me! As soon as I had finished unpacking, I layed down on the sofa and woke up at 4:30 the next morning.

Kentucky - Roadtrip pt 2

After two amazing days and experiencing the nightlife in Nashville, we had to head back home to Chicago. On the way back, we made two stops in Kentucky 1. Krispy Kremes in Louisville and 2. Mammoth Cave National Park.

Guatemala

Guatemala is one of the most green country I know next to Hawaii and southern Germany. Last time I was there was back in 2010 and since then, Guatemala has become more modern and I think I fall in love with its natural beauty every time.

Hawaii 3.0- the FINALE!

In honor of Shark Week, I'm posting the pictures of my cage diving with the sharks in Hawaii.

Road trip to Nashville!

Howdy! I had a last minute day off from work a couple weeks ago which summed up to be 3 days! I called my best friend up and told her I had a crazy idea- "let's go to Nashville!" Unfortunately, she was waiting for a very important call for a job opportunity so we left it at that.

Surfs up! Hawaii pt 2

It's been awhile but I've been swamped with work and a random and spontaneous road trip to Nashville! I've been meaning to upload pics and a video from my shark dive but I need a Mac computer for that. I will try to do that ASAP.

For now I will upload the pictures from my first surfing lesson! I must say, I felt more scared about surfing than I did being face-to-face with sharks. Strange, I know!

Are you wanderlustin' ?

Welcome!

If you couldn't already tell, my name is Lesley Ann! I'm so excited to start blogging for two reasons 1. I absolutely love to talk and tell stories and 2. because I'm blogging about my big move to Hamburg, Germany!!  *insert happy dance here*  :)

A little bit about myself.. I'm a recent college graduate with a degree in Business Management with a minor in Spanish. I think like most, when I started school, I didn't know what I wanted to study and it's probably because I wanted to be so many things. I contemplated so many careers after finishing high school and up until the very last second that I could change my major in college, I did and I couldn't be happier. I've grown so much as a person that has led me to my current aspirations and dreams, my logo, thinking globally.  Although I hold a degree, I'm always finding ways to set myself apart and in order to do so I started taking German since last year. 

            Sprechen Sie deutsch?

I think anyone who knows me knows that I LOVE&LIVE to travel! So it's no surprise when I told my parents I wanted to study abroad in Germany. Not only do I want to continue learning German but also experience the culture. I've always said, "if you want to do something crazy, now is the time" and I'm doing just that! 

Hawaii, pt 1

Aloha!

My time in paradise is behind me now but I can’t erase the natural beauty and experiences! I love to travel and especially to places I've never been to before but Hawaii has never been a place I've actually wanted to explore. WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?! I had a vision of it already in my mind and therefore didn't pay much attention to it. I have to say, when you hear people say Hawaii is paradise, BELIEVE IT! Every place I've been to has its special spark that makes the city/state/country what it is. Hawaii has a combination and culture of its own.

Aloha from Hawaii!

Aloha everyone!

Can't explain how beautiful this place is! I've been at Ko Olina for 4 days now enjoying the beautiful private beaches, swimming, running, and the painful sunburn, ouch! I have to admit, I tried snorkeling for the first time yesterday. I probably drank a gallon of the Pacific Ocean before I was able to get the hang of it. 

Right now I'm writing from my hotel lobby waiting to be picked up to the airport to go to Maui. I'll be there for the Memorial Day weekend and on Monday I'll be back to the island of Oahu and into the world famous beaches of Waikiki!
