The Busiest I Have Ever Been

Previously on Jaxs is a True Tourist: “Wow a palace.” “Wow a temple” “That was quite the hike” *Kpop music plays* “Chillin’ with the homies” “I’m late, I’m late for a very important date!!!” Jacqueline screams running to her computer. Okay… look… I know… this update is late. Very late. Not that you probably noticed….

Special Episode: Food

*DISCLAIMER: I Never Claimed to be an ‘Influence-Star‘* Welcome to our first special episode in which I have nothing exciting to tell you all, but instead will talk to you about a random topic. Today we will be talking about the food I have eaten since I’ve been here – or at least what I…

So no one told you life was gonna be this way

And we’re back for another installment of my time in Korea. On the last episode, I had just finished quarantine and was about to move into the dorms before school started. Well now school has started and so much has happened. To get the bad part out of the way first. I had déjà vu…

SUMMER IN SALERNO: eating like an Italian

Italians have a reputation for being able to put away A LOT of food, and I’ve seen first hand the truth to that statement. Typically Italians will have their largest meal of the day for lunch, closing stores and shops to dine at home with their families. Dinner will tend to be on the lighter…

Japan: Food Heaven

Let’s talk food in Japan, because holy mother of God…the food here is just as good as you would expect.

We’ll learn about food…

England: April_Log #2

As with many long trips, there are times when I yearn to be in my home and see my parents, pets, and siblings each day. Though I am happy to be in Leeds and have grown comfortable with the lifestyle here, I always remember to make a call to my family every now and then….

England: April_Log #1

This month seemed pretty long, but also short. For the majority of April, we did not have any classes due to Easter Break. During this time, I was able to enjoy some time to relax, explore Leeds, and travel to London! One of the most exciting things is that spring finally came and I was…

Morocco: Big Bad Breakfasts

Granola bars are my breakfast of choice in Oxford, but we don’t skimp on the morning meal in Morocco. Even on the days I’m in a rush, breakfast still manages to be a treat. Whether I’m scarfing it down at home, eating at a hostel on Saturday morning, or grabbing a petit dejeuner at a restaurant, I can…
