New Year, New Content

Hello there, it's been a while...

Welcome to 2017!

Exactly one year ago today, I boarded a flight to Dublin, Ireland, for what I would look back on as four and a half of the best months of my entire life. In that short amount of time, I walked thousands of steps, learned new words and slang from a handful of different languages and stood in places where historical figures once stood.

I learned about new cultures and political systems, tried new cuisine from a dozen different countries, and became an expert in finding the cheapest flights on the internet.

I learned how to take care of myself when I was sick and far from the familiarity of home, how to relate to and have conversations with people from all over the world and how to safely navigate Scandinavia for a week-long solo trip. I even learned how to enjoy beer.

Most importantly, I made friends and memories that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

I originally created Michaela Meets World as an Instagram account where I could post photos from my travels without bombarding my personal account with an excess of posts that would surely annoy everyone I know. Later, when I built michaelameetsworld.com, my goal was to combine my photographs with written content that would (hopefully) inspire and inform my fellow travelers.

Well, I fell a bit behind.

As of January 4, I am officially in my last semester of college. Busy? Yes. Terrifying? Of course. But this website and my passion for photography and travel are things that are extremely important to me, and I have made it one of my New Years resolutions (the most important one, if you ask me) to make Michaela Meets World a top priority. I have a master plan for all kinds of fun and exciting new content, with a main goal of posting much more frequently than I have in the past.

Here's some new content you can expect this year:

Travel Tuesdays!

This will be my main focus in terms of content for my blog. Travel Tuesdays (which will happen every! single! week!) will feature posts about past trips, upcoming trips, local places I have visited and anything else related to the world of travel that I feel inspired to write about.
