Where Does the Time Go?

June 3, 2016April 3, 2017 allisonavoss7 Comments

My alarm goes off. I roll over in bed and brush away my long hair out of my face. I peer down to pick up my phone from the floor to turn the alarm off. What time is it? What am I doing today? I wonder sleepily, as I start to adjust my eyes to the morning light.…… Continue reading Where Does the Time Go?

Why Do We Travel?

April 25, 2016April 3, 2017 allisonavoss2 Comments

I’ve been thinking a lot about travel, particularly why we chose to move ourselves through the world in what we call “travel”. Why not just stay in one place?

They use this time to catch up after work, get some fresh air, and take the pups on a walk around the neighborhood. Sometimes, when me or my siblings are home, we get the honorary invite, but the idea…… Continue reading The Dog Walker’s Society

A Taste of Venezuela

March 21, 2016April 3, 2017 allisonavoss2 Comments

Somehow, I have found myself in Colombia working with two Venezuelans. Since I started working last October, I have managed to pick up a few things from them, including their love of Venezuelan food and their accent (so I’ve been told by one of my Spanish teachers…). Since day one at work, my two Venezuelans…… Continue reading A Taste of Venezuela
