Diving Headfirst: October 2012
http://lifeontheothersideotheworld.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Seizing every opportunity to explore, learn, and love. Saturday, October 13, 2012. Transitions. They can be exciting. They can be adventurous. And yet, they can be really challenging. For all their hype, the thesis of this post (can you tell I'm back to student mode): transitions suck. Looking back, each major transition I have made has been accompanied by a period of grieving, second-guessing, and loneliness. I shouldn't be surprised. It is a natural part of the transition process. I'm reviving the blog...

Diving Headfirst: Johannesburg Update
http://lifeontheothersideotheworld.blogspot.com/2015/02/johannesburg-update.html
Seizing every opportunity to explore, learn, and love. Monday, February 2, 2015. When I first arrive at a field site and tell people I’ll be there for about two months, it always sounds like such a long time. But somehow I blink- and I’ve already been in South Africa nearly a month! And the students have made me feel very welcome as well. Johnannesburg is quite an easy place to live (albeit a bit gated-suburbia and far too racially segregated for my taste). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Diving Headfirst: October 2014
http://lifeontheothersideotheworld.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Seizing every opportunity to explore, learn, and love. Tuesday, October 28, 2014. I never cease to be amazed by people's ingenuity and creative problem solving. On our drives, cheetahs and rhinos sadly remained elusive. But at least we had some incredible lion viewings! All my favorite photos from the trip involve these giant cats. All in all, a lovely way to finish of the holidays indeed. Monday, October 20, 2014. How to become a top-25 triathlon finisher, in 12 easy steps. 6 The day prior to the race, ...

Diving Headfirst: Where in the world is Sarah?
http://lifeontheothersideotheworld.blogspot.com/2015/01/where-in-world-is-sarah.html
Seizing every opportunity to explore, learn, and love. Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Where in the world is Sarah? Bed #17: We returned to our rooftop camping for Christmas in the Namib. On Christmas morning we hiked one of the largest sand dunes in the world, Sussevlei. Then we lounged under a tree until we went to the campsite’s restaurant for a buffet dinner (thanks, Lauren, for the great gift! I was happy to be able to chat with family, who managed to call my Namibian cell on Skype. Bed#22: As Lauren le...

Emilia's España Aventura: December 2009
http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 7, 2009. A few weeks ago I took a bus/boat/van trip with my Bible study group to a Korean island called Ulleungdo. The group wanted to get away for some much needed down time, so we decided to head to an island that harvests eighty percent of Korea's squid. It's a random place to go for rest and relaxation, but it turned out to be the perfect spot. Everyone was so cold that we all fell asleep by eight o'clock. EIGHT O'CLOCK ON A SATURDAY NIGHT! Who said teachers weren't exciting?

Emilia's España Aventura: November 2009
http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 5, 2009. I think I look a little bit like Lloyd when I drive my scooter. That's right; I am now the proud owner of a scooter! I've been contemplating buying one for months, but impulsively purchased one three weeks ago. It's been exhilarating (carefully! Whipping through the streets and alleyways of my dong (neighborhood). And yes, I wear a helmet every time I ride. She's not fast, but she's my 250,000 won bundle of joy. Any suggestions for names? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Emilia's España Aventura: Espana principios....sort of.....
http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2010/09/espana-principiossort-of.html
Wednesday, September 15, 2010. Espana principios.sort of. That's right. I'm back. It's been too long, but I'm back. Here's the skinny on my new life in Spain: I like my roommates, my new job, and the crazy city of Madrid. I'm still adjusting to the differences between Eastern and Western culture and not being the minority for once, and I still miss Korea quite a bit, but time is always the best medicine. Here's a quick peek at my new life. In front of the palace. Plaza Mayor at sunset.

Emilia's España Aventura: October 2009
http://enelsonkoreanadventure.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. Back in Minnesota, fall break usually involved sleeping in, visiting an orchard, watching tons of movies, or shopping for new winter clothes. This year my fall break included celebrating the birth of Communism, walking halfway across a bridge to North Korea, and escaping to Russia through a wire fence. Every trip truly has its own charm.
